5.00We had a few hours in Amsterdam after getting off the cruise ship and found this tour. It was super last minute so I wasn't sure what to expect - if they could even accommodate us. I got a response right away and within about an hour we had a driver pick us up at our hotel! The private tour was absolutely perfect! Clean vehicle, water was provided, our driver, Singh, was accommodating and was a wonderful tour guide! We started at the the Henry Willig diary farm and cheese factory - the most amazing farm and every single cheese was so good I wanted to take them all home! Next our driver escorted us around the most charming fishing town of Voldendam where we had the best fish and chips lunch and stroopwaffles! Finally he took us to Zaanse Schnas Windmills! Literally the best 5 hours and money spent! I can't say enough about this tour - I would absolutely recommend it and would do it again in a heartbeat!!
A really authentic experience

5.00As someone who usually avoids tours, I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this. It felt more like a relaxed day out with a local than a typical tour. The guide tailored everything to our pace and made sure we had time to explore without feeling rushed.
