This was such a great tour! First, they offered me a rain jacket, which I didn’t think I needed but came in handy to block the wind in the countryside in November, they made sure everyone on the tour was comfortable. Also, Simon was a great guide, friendly and energetic and took some great pictures that he texts you a link to view. The Dutch Cheese shop with clogs was a great little stop, and we saw a windmill! The e-bikes really help when going against the wind, and help you see a little bit of the beautiful countryside! I highly recommend this tour!
