Great tour outside of Amsterdam
Thomas_R, Aug 2023
Karel was great! He was at the cruise port waiting for us upon arrival and was very accommodating with the luggage and hotel drop off. He was very knowledgeable about the sites we visited and provided a wonderful tour of the countryside outside of Amsterdam. We really appreciated his time and patience with us, and would defiantly book another tour with him should we return to Holland.
Excellent Experience

Guide was top notch. Provided my wife and me with true insight of the areas visited and the Netherlands in general. Would book again, especially with the guide we had.

The private day trip was well worth it and our guide was extremely knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this to anyone visiting Amsterdam.
A MUST DO
Michelle_K, Feb 2020
Very impressive tour with our guide Robert. This tour is a must-do for anyone visiting Amsterdam. Especially for families it is a great experience. Our guide Robert was very accommodating and easy to talk with. He is truly one of the best guides we ever did a tour with. With this tour Robert also takes you to a cheese farm, clog maker and inside of a windmill. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! Thank you Robert!
Zaanse Schans and Volendam guided tour
Howard_R, Sep 2019
Our guide Robert met us at our port and we drove Zaanse Schans, a quaint village. There are working wind mills using the direct power for specific tasks, such as a lumber mill, sawing through trees. There are many shops to purchase local wares, clogs, cheese, mustard, chocolate etc. It's scenic, well organized and definitely worth a visit, Prepare to spend about 2 hours or so. We then drove to Volendam, a shore front town/fishing village bordering Merkermeer Lake with an abundance of restaurants. It's beautiful and colorful but definitely touristy, but well worth a visit for the sheer beauty of the area. There are also several good fresh herring stands. Robert, our guide was very articulate and knowledgeable and didn't waste any time. He was well prepared.
