4.00It was a good tour. The guide was very knowledgeable and passionate about the tour. We enjoyed Zaanse Schans, however not there long enough to see everything. The cheese shop tour really didn't interest us. Seen too many of them already. The other two were walking tours and him talking about the areas. Do it over again, I would just tour Zane Schans.
Excellent Tour. We highly recommend it!

5.00Juan was excellent and everything was professional. We loved it and got to see parts of the Netherlands that we would have never seen if we had stayed in Amsterdam.
Good experience

4.00You'll get to see some beautiful countryside of Netherlands. We were in a big group and that made it difficult at times.
Fantastic experience

5.00This tour was well-planned, leaving nothing to chance. We had the chance to visit charming Dutch villages and a lovely cheese farm in addition to the famous windmills. The good weather certainly helped. Our guide, Holly, was great—her humor and anecdotes made the experience more engaging.
Very well planned. ...
