5.00We had a great day and our driver Hamza was the perfect guide. The company even accompanied a change of our plans to extend our time and have Hamza returned us to our port in Ijmuiden instead of Amsterdam for a reasonable fee. We loved seeing the windmills and the cheese farm. This was a highlight of our trip.
Wonderful day

5.00Got a 5 star service! My experience was spectacular from beginning to end. Sunny was very courteous and professional all along the tour. He shared his knowledge on history related to the destinations and some side notes on the people and the culture in Netherlands. He had an answer for all my curious inquiries and made sure that I didn’t miss any presentation or film where I could find more information on the places we visited. I’m very pleased with my selection and feel very lucky that I got to tour with Sunny!
