Wonderful day tour of Geithoorn, Zaanse Schans, & Durgerdam with AlxTours!

5.00Our tour guide Alex (of AlxTours) gave a wonderful day tour of Durgerdam (small village), Geithoorn, a tulip field, and Zaanse Schans! I appreciated Alex's descriptions of the towns, polders, and how the land was reclaimed from the sea. He gave an informative description at the start of each destination we visited. Charming Dugerdam was our first stop. Then, Alex smartly took us to Geithoorn, a beautiful village of canals and thatched roof cottages, to arrive before the onslaught of tourists. Alex took our small group of 7 people on a relaxing, lovely boat ride through the village and out in the lake. Then we had time to walk around Geithoorn. I visited the Olde Maat Hus museum, which was very nice and provided a good understanding of the history and culture of Geithoorn. Walking along the canals and across the bridges was so peaceful. Our group left Geithoorn as the mob of late morning tourists were arriving and getting their boats stuck in "bumper boat" jams in the canals. This was smartly timed by Alex. We stopped at a tulip field on the way back which was absolutely beautiful. We were able to take gorgeous photos in the field (this was April 27). Zaanse Schans was our last stop. It was very crowded, yet still very picturesque and charming. The clog making and cheese making demonstrations and shops were very good, though very crowded. Alex did a great job navigating our small group of 7 people through the crowds and getting us into a cheesemaking demonstration. The operating windmill closed just before I got there, but if I had gone earlier I would have been able to get in. There was another windmill we were able to go inside, though it was not operating at the time. All in all, this was a wonderful day, and Alex expertly organized the destinations so we would get the most out of the day in each beautiful location. I highly recommend this tour and AlxTours! And, to note, Alex picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel; very helpful and convenient. He also gave us a great restaurant recommendation for dinner at an authentic Dutch restaurant in Amsterdam.
Ideal for a quick stopover in the Netherlands
