Tristan was great!!!... - Tristan was great!!! After a couple of days in the extremely busy city it was amazing to get out into the country side and see the Netherlands from another perspective. Lots of green. Horses, cows, lots of birds and really big rabbits. The little villages were very charming. Easy bike ride and kayak. Was a great way to relax!!!

Wonderful contrast to the city centre - My husband and I took this tour while on a three day city break in Amsterdam. It was well organised with clear instructions for meeting, and Tristan was quick to respond to a question I submitted online.
We took the free ferry over from Amsterdam Central and it was just a few minutes walk to the meet point.
We were provided with bikes then Tristan led us out of town along cycle paths, then through some quiet neighbourhoods and into the countryside. After a couple of hours we stopped and got into kayaks, then paddled into a charming village where we had lunch at a church cafe. Then back to the bikes and a different route back to our start point. Tristan provides bottled water but if you like other drinks then take your own too. You can wear a backpack or strap a bag to the bike.
This was a great way to see the countryside, we both really enjoyed it!

Amazing!! - I went with my mom and we had the best time! :)
The bicycle route is beautiful, among trees, and I could never imagine how beautiful the landscape would be. We saw all kinds of wildlife while on the kayaks and even stopping for lunch inside of an old church was nice.
The guide is fun and attentive.
10/10 would recommend if you want to disconnect from the world and enjoy nature while discovering more about the outskirts of Amsterdam.

Discovering Amsterdam differently! - Great experience! Tristan was very nice, talkative and flexible.
The visit was approximately 5 hours, starting and finishing in north's Amsterdam with very interesting and diversified stops throughout the day. Also the kayak part was Beautiful!
I strongly recommend if you want to spend a day outside and discover a bit of the Dutch culture!

A truly wonderful and unique experience!! - Tristan is personable and amazing and this tour is a truly wonderful and unique experience. The bike ride was beautiful and the kayaking was fun and beautiful. Along the way the windmill and church are both historic and a great stop. Tristan always made sure everyone was with us and provided all the necessary gear for the day. We would do this tour over again just to remember how beautiful it is in the waterlands near Amsterdam. We highly recommend this tour but more importantly, we highly recommend Tristan.

Amsterdam is lovely, but it might be incomplete without cycling and kayaking on the countryside. - If you like countryside, outdoors and some physical activity, this is a MUST. The views are fantastic, strolling in countryside cycling was is like living a dream and then kayaking in this beautiful village in between houses backyards, bridges and a church is just amazing!
But perhaps the best above all of this, is the guide Tristan. He was very helpful, fun, joyful and communicative. Even if you are not in much physical condition or (as our case) had never kayak before, he was caring and patience. You can see that he really enjoys what he does and this inevitable reflects in your own mood during the tour. At the end you just don´t know why you don´t feel tire but just happy for all you did!
