    Highly recommend the tour with Diana!
    Daniel_R, Sep 2023
    We really enjoyed the tour. Diana was most helpful, both with the logistics before the tour as well as on the tour. She was friendly and knowledgeable, and kept adults and kids engaged throughout. Highly recommend touring with her.

    Thank you very much for your wonderful review!
    Great tour from a local guide
    Christy_F, Aug 2023
    Diana is a knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide. It was nice to learn about the area from a local. She greeted us at the station and gave us tips about navigating the area and insights into local culture and traditions while walking to the village. Diana’s understanding of the area and the history surrounding it was very extensive. We would definitely take another tour with her. Thanks!

    Diane was a fabulous guide. She’s very knowledgeable, personable and helpful in many ways. This is a walking tour and you meet her at a location and she takes you through all the sites. It is well worth traveling to meet her and have her take you to the different sites.

    Diana was waiting for us at the station when we arrived. It was great to start early to avoid the crowds. The area is amazing. The tour itself is very interesting and very informative. Diana is a great guide and made us feel like old friends. Highly recommended!

    Diana is a person who you will feel you know long back, even if she meets for the first time. Me and my wife we had an amazing experience with her during a tour . I strongly recommend her she is a great person with a very friendly personality.

    Great Experience

    The tour was wonderful. Beautiful area Having Diana as a guide made it extra special. She explained in details the history of the place and shared interesting information. We enjoyed it very much.

    Thank you! It was an absolute pleasure to meet your family!
    Informative and delightful tour
    Will_C, Jul 2022
    Diana was a great tour guide! It was a two hour tour and we were able to see all that Zaanse Schans has to offer. She was able to set up demonstrations for the cheese factory and clog making. I would highly recommend this to everyone visiting Amsterdam!
    Response from Host, Jul 2022
    Thank you very much Will for this excellent review! I wish you all the best for you two, stay safe! And take a look at the family tree!
    THE ABSOLUTE BEST
    Melissa_W, Jul 2022
    LOVE LOVE LOVE! This tour SAVED our day! My husband and I took an overnight train that was delayed 2 hours. We were tired and very frustrated. I messaged Diana to let her know we wouldn't be able to make it, and she happened to have time that afternoon to take us on the tour when we finally arrived 3 hours later! She was so so accommodating, we could not thank her enough! Then the tour itself was just wonderful! Really eased our frustrations from the train delays and we had an amazing time. She walks right in and gets you into little demonstrations (clogs and cheese) just because she's a well-known guide. She knows all the best stops for snacks and must-see spots! Thank you so so much Diana!
    Response from Host, Jul 2022
    It was an absolute pleasure to meet you both and I am very glad that I saved your day and gave you a good feeling about Holland. Stay safe and have fun in Scotland!
    Totally worth it !

    Great way to visit this beautiful site, hassle free and with someone who explains it all…Diana was lovely

    Thank you for this excellent review!
    Great guide. Windmills are very cool
    Jerry_W, May 2022
    I had a great time, and Diana was a great guide. However, beware that you have to get to the train station at Zaanse Schans yourself. It is not too difficult but it costs 8 euro round trip from the central rail station. Also, the tour does not cover 5 euro entrance fee to go inside the windmills. It might be easier to book a tour that includes bus ride to Zaanse Schans, but then you would not get Diana as your guide
    Response from Host, May 2022
    Thank you for the review of your private VIP tour. Other meeting points are also possible, for example Amsterdam Central Station (different price) and at the Julianabridge, depending on the wishes of my guests. I especially describe at my experience that entrance fees for the windmills are not included. We had a great time, Jerry! Stay safe!
    Excellent, would highly recommend!
    Zoe_S, Nov 2021
    Diana was great, really knowledgeable about the area and managed to get demonstrations for us at the clog museum and the cheese factory. She catered to our needs and interests and it was an excellent way for us to finish our trip

    Thank you very much, we had a great time!
    Ottima guida per una bella gita
    Giuseppe_B, Aug 2023
    Tour guidato in modo eccezionale da Diana, gentilissima e preparatissima. Una vera guida e davvero local. Mio figlio ed io ci siamo goduti la visita e avuto tante informazioni sulla storia e le usanze del luogo. Lo consiglio a tutti coloro che di passaggio per Amsterdam vogliano vedere i tradizionali mulini a vento olandesi e capire meglio l'invenzione e la tradizione.

    Grazie mille!
    Visite incontournable dans la Hollande des traditions.
