Ray was a great guide. Picked us up from our hotel on time and provided a great tour of the village and windmills. Loved learning about the local culture, seeing the wooden shoes made, learning about how cheese was made, tasting the cheese, touring inside a working windmill, and tasting the local chocolate. Had a great time and drop off back at the hotel after was great. Would definitely recommend to others.

A great 3-hour tour just outside of Amsterdam. A wonderful way to experience the countryside of the Netherlands. See working windmills, a clog making demonstration and cheese tasting in a charming, village setting. Our tour guide Rei was terrific!

Fantastic tour of the historic windmills of Amsterdam. Our tour guide Sharon was fantastic in her knowledge and enthusiasm of the area. Highly recommend and just a short 30 minutes from Old Amsterdam.

If you have a limited amount of time this is the tour for you. Centuries old homes, windmills, lumber, wooden shoe, cheese, spice and paint exhibits demonstrating the daily crafts that represented the lives of these proud people. Our guide, Mikke, was exceptional.
