1.00We did not go to Marken as we were told that the road was blocked and they don't take the detour. Very disappointed and a substitute destination was not offered. I learned from the locals at Volendam that the road had been blocked for at least a month so why sell me the tour and not want to take us to Marken because the detour was an inconvenience to the driver. Guide was not that informative and just mostly dropped us off at each stop which were just tourist traps. Didn't inform us much about each destination. Very disappointed. In reality we could have just hired a driver because that is what we got instead of a tour guide. In Volendam we texted the driver that we were finished and he didn't respond so I had to ask the restaurant that he wanted us to eat at which we chose not to, to get in touch with him. He claimed he didn't see our text. During the ride he didn't inform of us sights. Not happy!
Excellent experience

5.00Very interesting tour to get to know more in depth the history of the villages of the North. It's worth doing, almost more than on your own. We also really liked the restaurant that offers the tour and the menu to eat. The guide Caterina clear in its explanations and always very available for everything. Good comments also for the driver Elia, very professional and polite.
Horrible and Nefarious!!

1.00They change the tour the same day, it is really just a bus, they do not explain anything and leave you, they leave before the set time and say it is because of a problem that is foreign to the passengers, if they leave their things on the bus they will lose them, my souvenirs and my things I never saw again and they made me go the next day because they were going to deliver them to me and they did not give me anything, they told me that it was not their problem and to go to the bus company outside Amsterdam to look for them?? For those who made me waste my time and my things, nefarious experience are called tourism agency and it is only a company of rented buses!!!
Dire experience

1.00The tour is nefatso and rushed, it is only a transport bus that leaves before the time they say, as a tip do not leave your belongings on the bus because you do not see them again!!
It is worth dedicating a day of the getaway!

Disappointed Last Minute Cancellation to Merken

3.00It’s disappointed that the journey to Merken was cancelled on the last minute and we were only informed on the departure date at the meeting point. It could have been informed a few days before and we could reschedule our trip. The guide Amanda although is a bit green but she is ok and we have no complaints.
The best activity to do in Amsterdam

5.00This is the best activity that I did during my visit to Amsterdam. The team gave us plenty of time in each of the stops to enjoy the towns and take photos/videos. Amanda our guide was very sweet and gave us a lots of interesting facts and information on all the places that we visited. I highly recommend Camaleon tours and this tour.
