Windmills of Kinderdijk Tours and Tickets

The windmills are amazing, and so was the Girl With the Pearl Earring! We were a bit confused about the exact meeting spot—maybe add a photo to the website to make it a little easier to find the right place. We were pleased that the tour wasn’t cancelled because there were just two of us. Jan, the driver, gave us great information all along the way.

Wow, a great tour. Abdullah was one of the top tour guides in our many trips. The tour was well organized with Abdullah doing a fantastic job tailoring the tour for us. A very enjoyable tour.

This fun bike tour was one of the highlights of my trip to the Netherlands. Kinderjik is a UNESCO World heritage site where you can see authentic, original, working windmills that are also homes to full time residents who maintain these national treasures. The idyllic area is full of waterways, bridges and bird life that can be viewed and photographed close up. My guide, Marco, lives in Kinderjik with his wife and children. I travelled by train, only 47 minutes from Utrecht and Marco met me at the train station. He knows the Kinderjik area well and took me to beautiful viewpoints and places that I would not have accessed on my own. He also introduced me to some of the people there including a lovely cheese farmer to sample amazing local cheeses. Marco was an attentive, patient, knowledgeable guide, sensitive to my objectives and needs, while also being respectful and aware of the people who live there and the eco systems. He is also good at photography and took some beautifully composed photos for me with my cell phone. The bikes we used are near new and a helmet was even offered too. The flat terrain and well maintained trails are easy to traverse. The tour also provided some high quality Dutch country foods and a great coffee. It was an absolutely perfect relaxing day. Considering everything included—water bus ticket, rental bike, food, admission to the area, and a personal guide it is great value for the money. I feel like I saw the real Holland and not just another tourist trap. Highly recommend (Try to get on a tour with Marco if possible).

The bike ride through the amazing windmills field was the best part along with the break in the local shop! I would definitely recommend this experience!

I had the best time! Marco was amazing! It was just me and him. He was an excellent guide and friend for the day. He made sure I got back for my return safely and he even offered to take pictures and make videos of me along the way. It was a beautiful experience and I highly recommend it. The bike ride and area is just beautiful and peaceful. It’s a must do and a must see if you like nature and riding bikes!

A magical experience between the wetland ducks, magnificent windmills, walking through the countryside in spring enjoying looking at newly prepared gardens, nesting ducks and swans along the waterways with only three other people. Marco provided expert photographic advice during the tour [delighted with my photographs], and have to thank him for the care and assistance provided both before and after the actual tour.

This was a fabulous tour guided by Abdul. Many great stops along the way, very well paced. Interesting stops for lunch, desserts and coffee. Our guide made pictures along the way so we could all be in them and paying attention to the areas we were touring. He sent a link to all the pictures so we can download them to our personal files. We were a group of 5 somewhat older people. We did walk about 6+ miles but it was over easy terrain. We used a water taxi and public transportation (subway) to give us a real feel for the city. I would highly recommend this tour. Abdul was so informative and patient. His timing was impeccable.

Marco was such a wonderful guide. I arranged the trip as a surprise to propose to my now fiancée and he was incredibly warm and thoughtful-- he even got us champagne and flowers for the day! Cannot recommend him highly enough!!
