5.00Full recommended to know about the origin of mills, Swedish shoes and the history of Amsterdam. Full recommended!
This is a perfect half day trip. Although it was sunny, it was quite cold and the indoor parts of the tour were great.

5.00Lovely views and shops to visit on site with some lovely coffee and pastries to feast upon. The working windmills were fascinating and the shops had helpful friendly staff and some amazing cheese and chocolate to buy, alongside clogs and diamonds so plenty of variety. Some great information learnt about how the local areas evolved into what they are now and there was a constant smell of Coco from the local Chocolate factory which was surreal!
