Join us on an enlightening journey as host Mark Schalekamp interviews Gijsbert Valstar, who’s been a tour leader for Boat Bike Tours since 2015, but has worked with cycling tours his whole adult life. In this debut episode, Gijsbert – in his very honest and blunt way – describes just how the tours combine cycling and boating. A sampling: “A tailwind for a foreign tourist is a storm, and we [the Dutch] think it’s a breeze.” His love for cycling and his enjoyment of leading these tours shines through in his reluctance to give away too much information about secret places he shows his guests.
