I found Alkmaar Tours on the internet when researching cycling around Alkmaar. From the moment of contact, the owner of Alkmaar Tours, Jennifer Rigby, was highly responsive. I emailed Jen with many questions and concerns. She was consistently timely and thorough in her responses. She went far beyond my expectations to tailor make a fabulous cycling day. As a novice rider, I found Jen to be highly organized, knowledgeable, supportive, encouraging and fun. She provided an incredibly interesting tour with a variety of sights to see. We had such a great experience we immediately booked a second day with Jen. If you are looking for a cycling tour, look no further!

My friend and I luckily found out about Alkmaar Tours when we were thinking about coming to Alkmaar to bike. We connected with the owner of Alkmaar Tours, Jennifer Rigby, and never looked back.
Jen has offered a level of service second to none. She asked us questions about our interests and preferences and personally designed an itinerary to meet our needs. We found her resourceful, knowledgeable, supportive and well equipped. She provided an absolutely amazing trip. We highly recommend Alkmaar Tours.

We met Jennifer in the town of Alkmaar and set out for our bike trip. She brought us to the bike shop and then we headed out for the fields and countryside of North Holland. She customized the tour so that we were able to get the benefit of the fields that were in bloom at that time, and she threw in some old ruins and a little education about Dutch food and cheese at the local market. She was very prepared (with water, and saddle bags to carry the stuff that I was overloaded with) this was a great experience.

I was searching for a small group bicycle tour of tulip fields away from the mass tourism crowds when I was fortunate to discover Alkmaar Tours. Jennifer, the ebullient owner, led 5 of us on a 22km ride through a rainbow of fields she had carefully scouted just days before to ensure we would be viewing flowers at their peak. The trip combined the authenticity of cycling through working flower growing areas with Jen’s experience of where and how to get the best photos. I recommend cycling with Jen in or out of flower season. It’s one thing to see the picturesque Dutch countryside in museum paintings but it’s a completely different experience on a bicycle in the fresh air led by a guide with a passion for the area and her clients. Don’t let logistics from Amsterdam deter you. I was able to walk up to the domestic ticket window at the central station, purchase a 16 euro round trip ticket without waiting, and received instructions on the platform and departure time for the roughly 30 minute ride. Thanks to Jennifer, I had an exceptional experience bicycling and uncovered a newly discovered desire to see more of the Netherlands.

We planned our trip to Alkmaar to include a bike tour of tulips. However, we had to wait until the first week of May, knowing that there was a strong chance that many/most tulip fields would be ‘headed’ before we even arrived!! Although Jen’s tours ended by thee d of April, I asked if she could set a May 3 date for us ( the winter had been cold and lasted longer this year so flowers would also be delayed).
Jen was AMAZING!!! She booked it with the reassurance that we’d be refunded if flowers were gone. She messaged with me on ‘What’s App’ and even send me updates and pictures of the fields😂 Believe it or not, we were here last tour. The weather was gorgeous, the sun was out, Jen took pictures of/with us, and she took us to so many amazing fields that were still in bloom!!! This was a dream come true. Afterwards, Jen hung around with us for awhile, shared some ‘frites’ and told us of some Alkmaar history!!! Look no further, this lady knows her facts, is highly personable, and will feel like your best friend!!!
Thank you Jen! You made my dreams come true!!!😍

Do you also offer pedal-assist bicycles on your tour in Alkmaar? If so I will reserve 2 spots. Thank you.
In 2020 when do you anticipate the bike tours will begin and what date would you expect them to end
Jen, your tour sounds like something we would love to do. However if we came there would be five of us and the youngest being 2. Can we get a bike with a child seat at your bike supplier. Also your schedule looks like you only do tours on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, is that correct?? We would either come the last week in April or first weekend in May. Please advise, thanks Bryce
