5.00Zaanse Schans windmills and the countryside tour was a memorable experience for us, a family of 4. We had Salih for our driver, and he was great! He accommodated changes we made in our tour. He was very patient with us, so there’s no feeling of being rushed. He pointed to places of interests, and answered our questions very well. Our family felt very comfortable and at ease with Salih. We enlisted his service again for another tour. This time it was at Bruges, Belgium, and at The Hague. Salih made sure we saw iconic places at The Hague, like the Parliament building, the King’s palace, etc. Overall, Salih went above and beyond what was expected of him. We highly recommend any of the tours their tour company offers, and ask for Salih.
Beautiful places and great conversations

5.00Awesome, fantastic tour! Really can’t find enough words to describe the great experience we had. We were taken to beautiful, less crowded places that was beyond our expectations. We visited picture-perfect little cities and had a fabulous time at a windmill farm. I absolutely, highly recommend the service. The driver was fantastic, pleasant, great conversation and we learned a lot! Don’t skip a private tour, is the best way to have a real feel of a place.
Definitely recommended

5.00A family of 5 from NJ visited Amsterdam for the first time. A comfortable MB van picked us up at the hotel on time and took us to 3-4 beautiful places which were about 30 - 60 min away from Amsterdam. We enjoyed the scenery, local food, local culture, etc. The driver dropped us off back at the hotel on time. We had a great 4 hour trip outside Amsterdam. Highly recommended!
