This tour provides a nice quick overview of the dutch countryside, especially if your time in Amsterdam is limited. It would be nice to have a little more time in Zaanse Schans.

The tour was wonderful! It was amazing how much we saw a short period of time. Our guide was fantastic. She effortlessly did the tour in three languages and was extremely personable.

Each place that we visited was well worth the visit, but I thought that the emphasis in Zaanses Schanns was on the shoes, and should have been on the windmills. There was not enough time to even go out and see how the windmills worked. Our guide should have mentioned this. She, by the way, was great. I felt that this trip could have been a whole day excursion and perhaps that could be an option, or it could be at least an hour or two longer.

This was a really nice morning out. I would have liked to see a bit more of the inside of the windmills. It was a good value for the money.

Quite a fast moving half day, but well organized, and you see a lot interesting and quaint places in just a few hours.

Wooden factory and windmills were fantastic. Not much to see in the fishing villages though.

The trip was well worth doing. It was very informative, and the only complaint I have is that we didn't spend enough time at Zaanse Schans Windmillls, there was just too much to see in too little time. The tour guide was very informative and pleasant.

We had a good time getting out of city with our very knowledgeable tour guide.

I really enjoyed the tour; it was very informative and interesting. The only downside was that there was not enough time at each stop, with so much to see and buy!

I had a wonderful time, and the tour operator's office was a short walk. Thank you for your assistance. I just wish I had more time there.

I thought we could have used more time at the windmills.

I enjoyed it, although we did not have too much time at any one stop.

It was lovely! I'm so glad that we got to see that side of Amsterdam, but on the other hand, I would have preferred to have done it alone. I had read the reviews on it, and most said there wasn't enough time at each spot, that was an understatement. The staff was bossy and pretty rude, and we had hardly any time at each site. I'd rather pay a little more and do it myself. But, if you are extremely tight on time, do it, but make sure that you get there early, or else (like myself and my husband), you'll end up sitting on opposite ends of the bus.
