"We received extremely friendly and professional service and after the activity another nice surprise in the form of a discount at ice time the ice king in the village."
Stefan van der Wal About Miscellaneous:

"We had rented 2x tandem bikes, now of all d bikes the saddles were sagging, chains were not lubricated which made the bikes pedal harder and squeak. We didn't think it was worth the 100 euros they were just old bikes in our eyes. I also reported this to the guys there."
Dennis Griffin About Tandem Tour:

"The tandem was very old and everything was loose. At our resort we had a beautiful tandem that was much cheaper. "
Arina Penning About Tandem Tour:

"An idea to give tandem also electric drive..."
Nicole Dirks About Miscellaneous:

"Fine staff, helpful and thoughtful.

Stella Vlaswinkel About Miscellaneous:

"Rented two tandems and 1 electric bike. Route is on map with nodes actually even more convenient than via app. Despite the very hot weather it was good to do, lots of shade along the way. The tandem is really recommended, much more fun than e-chopper as far as we are concerned. "
Monique the hare About Tandem Tour:
5
"I found the price/quality ratio very poor.
a very old tandem with a rear handlebar that you hit with your knees and was loose on both sides. The handlebars went back and forth while cycling. also the saddle in front was not comfortable. also for this price you should expect an electric tandem."
Erwin Dik About Miscellaneous:

"Fun. Was just a shame that who had to do the detectives on the tandem in Staverden. Or didn't they? Fun bike outing."
Hans Haisma About Tandem Tour:
10
"Friendly and flexible. Everything was ready and we could board immediately. The handy app completed it. Totally awesome!"
Marlou Van mourik About Miscellaneous:

"We first went biking on a tandem. Then we had another detective puzzle tour. Because you have actually been on the bike tour for so long, you don't really have any energy left for the puzzle tour. However, the codes are valid for a year, so we will go back again for the puzzle tour."
Annelies Wiebenga About Tandem Tour:

"Nice people. Even when returning for a nice chat"
Jaap Dam About Miscellaneous:

"We were kindly helped and we had a nice trip on an excellent tandem. Called in advance for advice and then also pleasantly and well helped.
Very satisfied!"
Gerben Hakkert About Tandem Tour:
8
"We had rented 4 tandems together with a Sci Garderen.
However you rent it with each other but they are 2 separate companies. At Tandems rental everything was well taken care of. But they should also give instruction on the murder game. But they were not sufficiently aware of this. So if they coordinate this well with each other it will be very pleasant for the guests greetings Gerben Hakkert "
Stefan Potman About Tandem Tour:

"Solid company with friendly service, good bikes and a free fun bike tour included. Happy with it!"
Annelies Loonstra-Verbeek About Tandem Tour:

"Good instructions, good help. "
Iris Scholte About Tandem Tour:
9
"We were helped quickly and there was a lot of choice in routes. Unfortunately, one of the tandems was not as nice: it did not shift properly and the tires were not fully inflated. That made it a lesser experience.
And according to the website, we also had a choice of a particular quiz for during the route, but I didn't hear anyone talk about that. The junction route was also fun, but would have liked to have heard something about it especially if it was recommended on the website."
Anja van Roekel About Tandem Tour:

"Kindly helped and clear explanation. Fine advice on the route we were going to cycle."
Linda Achterberg About Tandem Tour:

"Awesome fun forest and moorland route! On a tandem is cozy!"
RW Robeerst About Miscellaneous:
8
"Friendly staff.
I personally find the route according to the numbered nodes more difficult to follow to cycle nice and relaxed ipv Google maps.... We ended up doing that and enjoyed the beautiful surroundings "
Inge Smit About Miscellaneous:

Henk-Jan Klaver About Tandem Tour:

"Well served "
Jan de Boer About Tandem Tour:

"We enjoyed today the 2 tandems we rented for almost the entire day.
One saddle and handlebars had come loose along the way.
The employee came quickly with a new tandem.
We were very nicely helped and very friendly staff and a wonderful bike route we were given. Compliments!"
Jetske Van der Bos About Miscellaneous:

"We rented a Bakfiets (Dutch cargo bike) and a tandem. The staff was friendly.
Too bad though that there is no small child seat included if you want to bring your 1-2 year old child. I am used to this being included if you need it. "
Maria Gunnewijk About Tandem Tour:

Jitske Baas About Tandem Tour:

Janneke Zijderveld About Tandem Tour:

Everything was absolutely very friendly"

"Fine!!!"
Muriel Brandenburg About Miscellaneous:

"We had a pleasant and fun day. Staff who explained to us and were on hand during the BBQ were pleasant to contact and thought with us.
We did not find the contact to book and adjustment of the reservation to be pleasant. The employees we spoke to by phone for this were very businesslike and very inflexible. It made us feel unwelcome in the preparation. There was no opportunity to discuss/see how our wishes could be taken into account. The staff present on the day did give us a warm and pleasant welcome. That made up for it a bit. "
Sanne Knubben About Miscellaneous:
10
"Nice people, fun route and had a wonderful day. Highly recommended!!!"
Marjolein Van wenum About Tandem Tour:
10
"Had a top afternoon on the Veluwe on the tandems. Along the way we had a defect on one of the tandems. We called and within 10 minutes someone came by to fix it properly. Two minutes later we were able to continue our bike ride. "
Marieke Nooteboom About Miscellaneous:
8
"We were treated fine on site, only there were 2 things not taken care of that were promised via email. The tandem was ultimately not decorated as promised and they would put together a route for us based on my father cycling on a tricycle. That was a pity for a while, because you count on these arrangements. Suppose something doesn't work out, you expect a call or email."
wilma sio About Miscellaneous:

"Beautiful bike tour!
Too bad only that there was no leniency to return the rental of 1 bike because 1 colleague was sick and we didn't use that bike either but had to pay for it"
E Meijs About Tandem Tour:

"I found, for the price (75 euros), the bikes were not up to par. 2 of the 4 saddles were crooked which made you uncomfortable the whole trip. 1 bike lagged behind."
A Reed About Miscellaneous:
2
"We are unfortunately not satisfied and will also put this in the review on Facebook.
Not left a dissatisfied message anywhere before, but now it is really necessary. The bikes were old and did not cycle nicely. My mother (mobility impaired), was given a very old electric bike that she did not feel confident on. She decided not to go with it, but had to pay the full amount for the bike.
We were given a "playground route" to take with us. Fun for the kids with lots of playgrounds. Unfortunately, we didn't see any playgrounds. There were roads closed. This was not known to the staff. All in all: paid a lot of money for very poor service. Too bad! "
JG Mulder About Miscellaneous:
1
"Tandems were of poor quality. Halfway through, the saddle of one tandem (older child) was loose. Gear of this bike did not work optimally either. Because the handlebars of the parent child tandem could not be higher we had to have a regular tandem. This of course became €12.5 more expensive. Response to the malfunctioning bike was "too bad at least you had a nice bike ride". "
Reina Van Veldhuizen About Miscellaneous:
10
"It was nicely arranged and very friendly staff. "
Richard Doop About Tandem Tour:

"I had rented a tandem, but I found it very heavy cycling . My mother of 70 was on the back. She pedaled along, but couldn't put much power into pedaling . "
Maurice Lagrand About Tandem Tour:
10
"Very nice to cycle on a Tandem for the first time in beautiful surroundings! The route was clear and during the ride you also had the opportunity to grab a terrace. It was also incredibly nice weather, very nice! Some paths were sandy and/or narrow, so that made cycling sometimes difficult. But that is understandable when you cycle through nature reserves.
All in all, highly recommended!"
Ella Lammers About Tandem Tour:
7
"We tandems were fine and we were helped nicely.
What I find confusing is that tandem tour is listed on the website, that looks like it is an organized bike tour.
Furthermore, we also wanted Road bowling with four people , but that was only possible from 8 people upwards. Very unfriendly with a disproportionately high price.
"
Peter Smoor About Miscellaneous:

Cecile Hornes About Tandem Tour:

"Super fun experience on a tandem.
Difficult to estimate what is a good length for a route you are going to cycle though.
We chose the wild route of 36 km and where it seemed fine to do at first it was quite tough at the end. But we had a lot of fun together and can definitely recommend it!"
Kelly Zoutman About Tandem Tour:

M Wolkorte About Miscellaneous:

"Beautiful bicycle route through the Hoge Veluwe. But in terms of price I found an expensive day."
Ybeliene Bouwmeester About Miscellaneous:
10
"I celebrated my 13th birthday here. When I heard from my parents that we were going on a tandem, I thought that will be nothing to it. But what a super cool experience. We did the 19 km route and it was really beautiful! And the tandems were absolutely not heavy to cycle. With 5 tandems we were on the road and we laughed a lot. The reception at the reception was good and the receptionist was very nice. Also the guy who gave us instructions took his time. Super thanks for everything, regards Charmayne "

Erik Peters About Miscellaneous:

"very friendly!"
Marike de Meester About Miscellaneous:
10
"When making the reservation over the phone, I was not told that I had to pay right away. I was called a few hours later if I could still do that, so the reservation wouldn't expire. That felt a bit commercial, that it all had to be done so quickly. Served very well on site, both at the desk and the guys at the bikes, all went smoothly and quickly. "
Alex Mol About Tandem Tour:
10
"Had fun tandem tour of the Hoge Veluwe, among other places.
Friendly staff and helpful.
Also, the bike bag we were given (and didn't have to pay for) was well organized."
C Bellaar About Tandem Tour:
7
"The tandem ride was fun but tough. That has everything to do with poor fitness and difficulty letting go of control. The service from Veluwe Specialist was fantastic. The activity was easy to book and when the rental arrived we were very kindly received, given clear information and afterwards an interested chat from the staff about how the day was. Definitely recommend. "
Monique Huurman About Tandem Tour:
8
"We had rented 2 tandems. But the bikes themselves could be improved, like softer saddles and the handlebars/grips of the one on the back were very loose. Saddles really way too hard.
For the rest very nice and friendly staff"
I. Arkesteijn About Miscellaneous:

Haye Roorda About Tandem Tour:

"We thought it was a great trip, through the beautiful Veluwe forests in the beautiful moors, where we saw many farm animals! Great! Unfortunately no deer, roe deer, rabbits and wolves seen, but who knows next time. To be repeated! "
