This was a lot of fun! I hadn't been on a bicycle for over twenty years so I was a bit nervous when I signed up for the tour but there was no need to feel this way. The guide, Rosanna, the crew and my fellow cyclists, were all very helpful and supportive. Communications when booking were clear and easy to navigate. I know a few enthusiastic cyclists and I feel like I have joined an amazing community. This was a great way of immersing yourself in the local area and culture like none other. The walking tours in the evenings were great ways to unwind, stretch your legs and see the towns up close. The Netherlands is a very beautiful country and cycling on this tour covered farmland, forest and beach areas. The Escher Museum and The RoyaI Delft Museum and enjoying the cheese in Gouda were on my 'to do' list. I feel very privileged to have had this experience. Now I can say that I have been in The North Sea, up to my ankles at least. (I don't swim in cold water at the best of times.) Thanks Van Gogh Tours and Cycle Tours Global.
