5.00Ray 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.
Wonderful side trip to a charming Dutch village.
