    Fantastic Tour!
    Diana_L, Apr 2024
    This was an excellent tour, higher than a 5 stars! We were a group of 6 friends in our 60’s traveling together. Our guide, David, was exceptional. Very knowledgeable and fun! He was very accommodating and patient with some of our limited mobility issues and added an extra stop on our request. The included lunch was delicious, we went to a really nice local pub/restaurant. David went out of his way to make sure we enjoyed our time together.

    We were picked up at our hotel on the time indicated. The tour operator was wonderful. Lunch was great, loved the windmills, the cheese factory and seeing all of the cows that make the milk for the cheese. Would highly recommend
    Fun Day Tour!
    Marianne_B, Jan 2024
    Was a great day tour with David, our guide. We made three major stops, along with a working dairy farm tour, cheese tasting, clog making workshop and lunch at a cute little restaurant close to the water. Would highly recommend this tour, and David!
    BOOK a private tour with ESTHER!!
    Traci_F, Nov 2023
    Esther was an amazing tour guide. She knew all the right spots for us. Fantastic lunch spot, my husband even tried the famous smoked eel. It was our favorite day in Amsterdam traveling the countryside, small villages and windmills. Esther’s stories were filled with knowledge, details and a personal aspect that is very important.
    Callum the man!! Excellent tour.
    Franciscus_S, Nov 2023
    Excellent time on this private trip with Callum. He understood everything about the tour and a very fun person. Thanks to the tour for a great lunch+drinks. We also did a photo session in Volendam (believe me it took less than 10minutes) together with Callum. An unforgettable experience!!!
    Best cheese and wooden shoe experience
    juanpablo_v, Nov 2023
    Maria, our tour guide was amazing, she's very nice and accomodating and we really enjoyed our day. The logistics are seamless and all locations are must see. The shoe and cheese workshops are a mist!
    Great day!
    Michael_S, Nov 2023

    Our guide Maakie was excellent. Showed us the country side And dropped us off at the hotel We need to be at for our river boat cruise. She was excellent!
    A great way to see a bit more of Holland!
    Patrick_B, Oct 2023
    Highly recommend this. You get out of Amsterdam for a little and see parts of Holland you would not normally see. Spending time with our tour guide David was memorable because he gave us a real perspective of life in the Netherlands. He was knowledgeable, funny and made the day relaxing while still doing and seeing a lot! Lovely lunch too!
    Windmill heaven!
    Guillermo_P, Sep 2023
    Tour guide was knowledgeable, and friendly. The windmills and entire area were a site to see! Highly recommend it!

    Rae was very outgoing, friendly, knowledgeable, and she had the insight to avoid the crowds of people to maximize our time. She never rushed us, and was very patient in answering our questions. She managed to fit in many varied experiences that were interesting and enjoyable. We highly recommend her as a tour guide.

    Coordinated Green Windmills
    KeR, Apr 2023
    Love the coordinated green colour windmills. If the weather was not so cold and we were more prepared for sudden drizzles, the day will be perfect!

    Wonderful Private tour in the countryside
    Raenell_R, Aug 2022
    We were treated to a relaxing day in the countryside starting with Zaans Schans where we visited the area of 6 windmills and went inside one. We also saw the process of making wooden shoes. Continuing on we stopped at the Willig Dairy Farm & enjoyed cheese tastings. Next to Volendam where we enjoyed lunch at a local restaurant. While there we walked to the pier and took the ferry to Marken. Our guide met us there and she offered to take us to another village, Broek, & it was a delightful stroll through the small community. I highly recommend the private tours; it allows for the opportunity to cover a lot of area.
    Zaanse Schans, Volendam and Marken Private Countryside tour
    Terry_S, Jul 2022
    We had a great time on our Zaanse Schans, Volendam and Marken Private Countryside tour. Our driver was friendly and well informed. Because he was unable to park close to some of the stops, he was willing to go to the van and pick us up so we did not need to walk the distance. Would recommend the tour.

    Jane_A, May 2022
