Absolutely great. The weather could have been better, but otherwise I thoroughly enjoyed it.

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.

A wonderful trip. This is well worth the price and a delightful excursion outside of Amsterdam with plenty of time to roam about on your own for those who like to shop and sightsee.

We enjoyed the half day trip to see the countryside of Netherlands. The trip, however, was quite hectic, especially the the Volendam stop, barely enough time for lunch.

We were able to see a lot in a short period of time. Time was good. If you want a leisurely lunch, then take the longer trip.

Our tour guide was excellent because she talked and described everything on the way to the sight seeing points.

There tour was so-so. It was convenient to meet the tour group right outside of the train station. I wouldn't say it is really a guided tour, it more of a bus dropping you have at certain spots and you getting to explore the sites on your own. The tour was convenient, but the tour guide was not exceptional.

The trip was well worth it. The cheese farm at Zaanse Schans was ok, but the village there was gorgeous. Volendam was very average - just a food stop really. It was pouring with rain when we were in Marken so didn't really get to see it - clog factory was very interesting though.

This was of course quite touristy, but well worth seeing. The tour guide was very good and very knowledgeable.

It was very windy, and there was more walking than indicated. Quite interesting, but guide was not as informative as some.

We went through Marken at a sprint. We needed a little more time to enjoy the town and take pictures. Some people had a lot of trouble keeping up.

Worth doing but don't get caught up in the tourist traps. Go to the local grocery store in Amsterdam and buy your cheese there -- it's better and cheaper.
