Our guide, Enrique, was excellent. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Cheese tasting and seeing the windmills were the highlights, but also learning about how the Netherlands was created and the beautiful countryside. Only recommendations would be for the guide to have a microphone when not in the bus as it was often hard to hear with the outside noise. Would also have liked more time in Valendam. The day went very fast.

The whole tour was great but way too much in one day. It was a long walk to find the bus and we started at 9:30a and finished at 5:30p. For those of us that are older, we had a hard time keeping up. Then another half hour walk to our hotel by the train station.

Tour was very nice. Beautiful sites. Check in was a chaotic mess. I’d give this tour a higher mark if check in was stress free. The guy doing the check in had a green jacket. Sketchy looking. No sign or other company ID. We finally checked with him after we saw others doing it. You check in and then wait for someone to scream your guide’s name so that you can run after them to get on the bus. After this check in chaos all else was smooth and delightful

Fabulous trip. Angela was an amazing guide, incredibly knowledgable and interesting. The trip went at a good pace with enough time at each place and the recommended stop for lunch was very good. My favourite part was the tour of Edam but the whole trip was great.

Brilliant trip.
The guide was very informative with a good sense of humour.
We would have liked more time at Marken and Edam with some free time.
But overall a good trip

Great tour with lovely stops. Not enough time in Zaanse Schans. We only had 1 hour and 10 minutes
The guide Tirso was very good and informative

Beautiful places to visit, tho as usual with tours each stop seemed rushed. Carlie our guide was fantastic; funny and very knowledgeable, and the tour was well organised and a great way to spend the day
Cheryl_K, Apr 2024
Our guide, Angela, was excellent… she gave us a good overview of the day at the beginning of the trip and more specific info at each stop. Each of the towns we visited were very interesting and it was nice to see the outskirts of Amsterdam. We also enjoyed the stop at the cheese shop and the opportunity to see how the wooden shoes are made.

The most impressive was the clog manufacturing, and the cheese as well. We understand that it’s consider tourist attraction, yet it was very interesting.
Brian_F, Apr 2024
This would have been great tour except for the strong winds, driving rain and cold. Angela did her best but Mother Nature would not cooperate. Better plan a little later in the year
Kum_W, Apr 2024
Unfortunately we had a very rainy day on our excursion. The guide Anna Marie did her best inspite of rain and other issues. In pleasant weather it would be a great tour. Only thing I didn’t like was not enough time to explore Zaanse Schans. A half hour more would have been nice.
