    Excellent 6.5 hour tour of Holland and especially for the price. The only negatives were it was hard to understand the guide at times do to his accent, and I would have liked to have heard more info while we were on the bus about the sites we were about to see and the history of the Netherlands.

  • Highly recommend

    This trip was excellent! We were in Amsterdam for only a short amount of time, and this was an excellent way to get to see different parts of the countryside and learn about the culture. We especially enjoyed strolling around Zaanse Schans, the visit to the cheese farm and the clog-making demonstration, and having a drink by the harbor in Volendam. We also can't say enough good things about our guide, Rodrigue - he was warm, engaging, and so knowledgeable, with a great sense of humor as well! He kept the tour moving on time through a number of stops while treating all participants with kindness and respect, which takes a great deal of skill! Our driver Jaan was also so welcoming and friendly, as well as a skillful driver! We would take a tour with this pair again any time!!

    Our guide was Laura who was informative. Windmills, cheese and clogs, what's not to like ? The tour lasted about 6.5 hours and was well worth the time.
