Stroll past charming green wooden houses, cross quaint bridges, and take in the peaceful canalside scenery. You’ll see operating windmills, some of which still produce oil, paint, or spices. You’ll also have free time to explore local workshops and boutiques selling Dutch specialties like stroopwafels, souvenirs, and handmade crafts.

5.00Great locations, great tour guide. No complaints. It's worth the high rating. Only critique is that being new new to the Netherlands, you could have someone waiting at the meeting point (or some signage) so visitors are sure they're in the right place.
