About this experience
The landscape behind the Kinderdijk windmills is just as impressive. You do not want to miss this beautiful cycling tour. It will bring you great insights in the Dutch watermanagement system, beautiful sceneries and skies and of course lots of fresh air! This river-landscape tour is completed with a coffee-break at a nice local spot, tasting home-made icecream at a farm and enjoying a snack in the fields. You will enjoy entering Kinderdijk from another point of view. At Kinderdijk we will first visit the biological cheesefarm where you can taste and buy cheese. This tour ends in the Kinderdijk windmills area, where you will not miss anything as we included the entrance to the official visitor windmill.
Your private guide speaks fluent English or Spanish.
Please note: if you wish to buy cheese at the farm, payments have to be made in cash or by PIN. Creditcard payments unfortunately will be not accepted.
