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.

Time is short but it is very comprehensive. If the tour operator stopped us for few minutes at the North Sea and Windmill for taking a photo it would be definitely better.

An excellent trip which we felt should be extended to a day because there is nowhere near enough time spent in any area. It was disappointing not to stop in Marken as I know it to be very different from Volendam. Our guide was entertaining, knowledgeable, friendly and with an excellent sense of humour. Very good value for money, but would prefer to spend more to stay longer.

I absolutely LOVED this tour. It was, by far, the most enjoyable. It truly felt like we got to experience Dutch culture or at least remnants of what it used to be like. I only wish the tour was longer!!! The cheese was delicious, the clogs were fabulous, and the windmills amazing. I definitely suggest this trip to everyone. It's a must! The tour guide was great too!

As first time visitors, the tour gave us a wonderful overview of the Netherlands.

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.
