We did the Friday cheese market and city tour with Jen and it was one of the highlights of our trip!! Jen is THE person to do go with for the cheese market. The group is small - we went with just two other couples - and she has the inside scoop to get the best seats in the house to see the action. The walking tour of this magical town was also wonderful. Thank you Jen for some great memories!!

Jen was an excellent tour guide with great knowledge of the city of Alkmaar. She went above and beyond by giving extra tips and suggestions for touring cities beyond Alkmaar and within Alkmaar. She is a lovely, warm person as well. I highly recommend her to visitors of Alkmaar.
