About this experience
What can the Dutch do better than anyone else? Ride a bike. And what do they love to do most of all? Trade and bargain. And how to quickly penetrate behind the ceremonial facade of the country, mentality, and traditions to see them as they really are? Of course, through the kitchen! We offer you to do all this at the same time!
