I really enjoyed the trip. The tour guide was excellent. However, it could have been better if the tour extend to a full day so that we could have more time at each stop. I really wish that we could have more time at Volendam to wander around and try the fish because we were busy taking picture in the traditional costume. I wouldn't mind paying extra.

This was a very inviting village lifestyle demonstration.

It was really nice to see the countryside, the way they make the wooden shoes, and cheese.

This excursion was the highlight of our trip! A definite must-see for all travelers to Holland. Our only complaint, as others have also said, was that I would have liked to have the tour extend to a full day so that we could have more time at each stop. However, I still highly recommend this trip. I cannot say enough good things about how organized and timely the tour was, and our guide was a pleasure!

Don't miss it. This travel tour company has the best of the five that I've taken when staying in Amsterdam.

My only problem was we did not have enough time to see the Windmills up close because we went into the wooden shoe factory first. This is not a complaint but a suggestion to see the Windmills and then go into the factory. Maybe a few minutes should be added.

I highly recommend this tour if you are visiting Amsterdam for a short time. We were there for 2-1/2 days and this tour is the perfect opportunity to see another side of the Netherlands besides Amsterdam. If you are the type of traveler who likes to spend A LOT of time in one spot, this is not the trip for you. It moves very fast. Do not get 'stuck' buying souvenirs at the Zaanse Schans Windmills stop. We spent way too long searching for the perfect souvenir and didn't realize all of the great walking areas near the windmills. You'll wish you spent more time in Marken, too. What you get is a quick walk around with the tour guide, ours was excellent and spoke several languages. This Dutch village is extremely quaint and beautiful. Overall, I recommend this tour if you are short on time - it is great!!

Great trip. Only wish it was longer. Don't be late getting back to the coach, they'll leave without you. The tour guide was fantastic. She did an excellent job.

This was a great trip. The only way to improve it would be to have a little more time at each stop.
