Good day out - The day went smoothly from one place to another, would have liked more time at the last stop. We were lucky with the weather especially at Edam as there was quite a bit of walking.

Great time - great guide, Bea! And best driver Tiko! - I would like to express my gratitude for such a great detail-orietented guide, Bea, who impressed us with great stories about the tour, the places visited and her great time keeping - we did not miss a spot! And we genuinely enjoy the trip, the time allowed us to take our pictures and her inspo for great gems to discover. Thanks Bea! Nice to see how great she did in English, although we understand she is a great Spanish speaker and Italian native! Keep up the good work! Bea from Cameleon Tours, the best English guide in Amsterdam and Tiko our driver makes the journey smooth and relaxing! Thanks both!

A Fantastic Tour of the Dutch Countryside - This tour is excellently structured and offers a refreshing experience that goes beyond the typical visit to Zaanse Schans. It allows you to immerse yourself in the beauty of the Dutch countryside, offering scenic views and a peaceful escape from the more tourist-heavy areas. The journey is well-organized, giving you the chance to explore picturesque landscapes while still experiencing the iconic windmills. Highly recommend for anyone looking to discover the quieter, charming side of the Netherlands!

A Must-Do Tour in the Dutch Countryside – 5 Stars! - My husband Mark and I took this tour on May 3, 2025, and it was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. Our guide, Juan, was excellent—super friendly, informative, and incredibly patient. Despite several people arriving late to meeting points, he stayed calm, professional, and kept everything moving smoothly. Every stop on the tour was memorable. We enjoyed learning about the history of each town, tasting the amazing cheese in Edam, having a delicious lunch and doing some shopping in Volendam, and of course, seeing the beautiful windmills in Zaanse Schans. I was especially excited to purchase a pair of wooden shoes for my granddaughter—such a unique souvenir! This tour is a fantastic way to see the Holland countryside and get a taste of traditional Dutch culture. Highly recommend booking it—you won’t regret it!

Rude tour guide - Tour is ok, the tour operator did what they said per the tour But I have a bad experience with the tour guide Juan Look. There are so many people crowding around All trying to figure out who the tour guide is as there are a few people who are from the tour company standing around I went to Juan first time trying to identify my tour guide. I was told by another guide my tour guide name is Juan Juan did not identify himself as Juan. Just asked me to go wait one side and someone will call for the tour group Time went by and I noticed that he is Juan and so I just want to be sure He went raising his voice at me and said I have told you already right ?! Very fierce To be honest I was stunned. Why do Juan have to raise hos voice at me when I am only trying to identify my tour hide ? Ironically. At our tour bus there were 2 tourist who boarded our bus wrongly n I overheard Juan telling another tourist that these 2 person ships have asked Befire boarding the bus Well. Now. Isn’t this ironic ? I asks to make sure and I get shouted at N others did nkt ask and as a result bisrded the wrong bus ! So we as tourist. Should we ask or shout we not ask ? For my case. I have 5 others traveling with me with 2 senior citizens They are seated a little bit further from Juan as there are no sears available nearby It’s stressful to try to find out guide with so many people crowding around Now. Do i deserve to be shouted at ??? You are the tour guide. You are supposed to be helpful. Not shout at your customers ! I will henceforth banned this tour Agency ! We have been on so many tour trips in Europe. This is the WORST !
