5.00Esther is amazing! Super knowledgeable and friendly. Definitely worth doing her private tours. She shared so much local knowledge about the windmills and small villages.
Outstanding tour

5.00We were very lucky to have Esther from windmillgirltours (on FB as hollandwindmillgirltours) as our guide in Amsterdam to view tulips and windmills. She was raised in a windmill and her parents still own and operate one. She has a delightful personality and extensive knowledge about windmills and the various products that they produce. We were treated with a tour of her family’s windmill. We also toured a goat cheese factory and a demo of making wooden shoes. We did visit Keukenhof Spring Gardens to see a plethora of tulips and other flowers but she was kind enough to drive us by several fields of daffodils, tulips and hyacinths in bloom - what a sight of rows upon rows of yellow, pink and purple! She was amazing!
