Excelente experiencia en un tour privado en donde los visitantes se educan mucho mejor que en otros tours con muchas personas. El guía se dedica a los pocos turistas lo que hace de la experiencia una enriquecedora y con mayor conocimiento. Se incluye un paseo en ferry por el famoso puerto de Rotterdam que ejemplifica lo inmenso del mismo. Nuestro guia Jan nos educó sobre todos los asuntos importantes de los lugares visitados y demostró ser un conocedor de alta calidad.

Great communication from the Bike & bite team to organise the tour as we initally did not have enough people for the tour. Even in the rain our tour guide Rob was enthusiastic. He was happy to share his stories and experiences of Rotterdam with us. The route was easy to ride, coffee, beer and food stops were all fantastic. Would definitely recommend this tour

We were lucky there were only two of us with our guide! Great information, nice guide, were positively surprised all round! A great city - we'll be back!

We enjoyed cycling through Rotterdam with a small group.

Enjoyed the route, guide and foremost the timetable.
