I would have rated it as a 5,but it was just a bit rushed after a toilet stop. It was a wonderful experience, with a lovely guide called Toes. But an extra half hour to allow for a toilet stop, some shopping, or to grab a coffee on the run would have been appreciated.

Highly recommend it. We were able to go inside a windmill, up a ship ladder to see the inside giant gears and walk around the upper platform.

It was a great tour our guide tour was Kay she was very nice and gave us great information about the place, we felt more like guests than tourists, she is from the town so we were very lucky to have her as our guide.

Packed a lot into a short amount of time! Sharon was an excellent tour guide who was very knowledgeable and had lots of energy. A short drive from the center of Amsterdam, with an easy to find meeting spot. Seeing the windmills up close was a treat!
