Tour was awesome! The tour escort was fun to be with, and the venues and sights were wonderful. We got to do all the touristy stuff, and the staff from the check-in desk to the driver to the escort were great. HIGHLY recommended for first-time visitors to Amsterdam.

The trip was very well organized with enough time to see everything and not be bored. Our guide was amazing, knew like 4 languages, and had a great sense of humor. I loved the trip!

We loved the windmills, the countryside and the towns we visited. The tour offered a great variety of sightseeing considering the length of the tour was only 4.5 hour. We would have loved more time to see the windmills at Zaanse Schans, but we understood the time limits because of the full schedule.

A perfectly judged trip. Not too long on the very comfortable coach, interesting and picturesque destinations, excellent tour guide, the right amount of autonomy, great value and a perfect way to spend a morning in Holland!

Wonderful! This trip saved my impression of the Netherlands. What a great time! I can't say enough about what a grand time we had.

This was an excellent tour. It just takes half a day and you feel like you see so much of Holland. It seems like a lot for four and a half hours, but it did not feel rushed and we had a great time.

This was a delightful way to spend a few hours. My friends and I found the bus comfortable, the guide informative and personable and the places we visited were lovely.

While there was quite a bit of walking, something I don't do well anymore, there were so many interesting things to see and well spaced breaks to rest, eat or shop. Our guide effortlessly switched between English, French and Spanish and was a wealth of information and very friendly. The cheese I bought on this tour is amazing and I will have to go back for more when I return to the Netherlands again.

A little rushed at Zaanse Schans, otherwise very informative and enjoyable trip. Boat trip very good.

Loved the trip. It was snowing which made it more magical. Mmy only fault was too little time in Zaanse Schans at the windmills and cheese making as we had to wait for other tour groups to go in ahead.

The tour was excellent. We had some confusion about the tour departure time, and got major attitude from the woman at the tour office, and almost missed the bus due to her misinformation. Still, the tour was great and I'd recommend it to everyone!

Very well organised, the guide was extremely knowledgeable and provided the group with lots of information you wouldn't find in a guide book if you were doing the trip yourself. Found the clog blowing hilarious, the demo wasn't too long and you were kept interested. It was a blowy day and you got to see the windmills working - they were my favourite part of the day. My partner liked the visit to Edam the best and the free cheeses. Volendam was beautiful! It was interesting to see the stilts houses in Marken and the day just flew by.
