To start off. Viator made booking our Private Giethoorn & Zaanse Schans Windmills Sightseeing Tour from Amsterdam a breeze. Our driver Hamza was very prompt and our pick up was a breeze. Hamza was very thoughtful and attentive thru out our trip. He ensured that our experience was a 5 star one. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. My family and I (kids 8 and 14) had an amazing time. Giethoorn was beautiful and the windmills were amazing. The whole experience is one that we will never forget. Highly recommend you book this private tour and ask for Hamza when you do.

Gavin was great - he gave us the time we desired at each location and also offered the option for a private boat tour which he helped reserve before we got to Giethoorn.
