5.00This was well worth it as an activity to end your tme in the Netherlands. It is sbout 2 hours of walking, but everything is relatively close together. Our guide Ray was very patient and did a great job!

5.00We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the Zaanse Schans windmills. Our knowledgeable tour driver, Rayette, provided a comprehensive tour of the neighborhood, shops, and windmills, sharing their rich history. The experience was enhanced by her insightful commentary. We appreciated spending the day with her and were pleased with our decision to select this tour. I strongly recommend this company for any Zaanse Schans tour.
Great use of our limited time.

5.00After we retrieved our luggage, we found Esther who was waiting for us at the meeting point, a designated place in the airport. She was friendly, knowledgeable and seemed genuinely excited about showing us her native city. We toured in a luxury van and she narrated along the way. We went to the village of Zaanse Schans and learned about cheese making, clogs and windmills. The three hours went by quickly. Esther took us to our hotel and waited for us to drop off our luggage. She went beyond our expectations and drove us to our next destination, a canal tour. We enthusiastically recommend this tour to anyone visiting Amsterdam.

5.00This was a great tour out into the Dutch countryside with Kenny. Original achitecture, working demonstrations of cheese making and wooden shoe manufacturing, nice people. Picked up at airport and then driven to the location. Plenty of informative commentary on the way. Never felt rushed. We had time on our own if we wanted it. Then dropped off at our hotel.
