Each stop was unique! - Due to a road closure we skipped a town which was probably for the best. Each stop was unique and we weren’t rushed or bored so the timing was right. Eduardo was a solid guide with good information and a nice personality.

Great deal if you got a day to kill and want some fresh air - We had a great time visiting the country side. For a pretty cheap price you get a whole day outside in the fresh air away from centrum. Our guide was funny and

A Wonderful Diverse Excursion of the Dutch Culture - This tour is a fantastic way to experience a variety of Dutch culture and was well worth the price. Although the day is long, the tour is very well organized and our guide was excellent. Enough time was provided in each location to enjoy the best each had to offer, with each having a special twist on Dutch culture. From charming villages to a cheese factory to a working windmill farm with 17th century windmills, the tour was outstanding and shouldn't be missed.

The itinerary was as... - The itinerary was as expected and goes where all the other tourist buses go. The driver Don did a good job and felt safe. The english speaking guide Amanda was friendly and helpful. We couldn't go to Marken due to roadworks, but that gave us extra time in the other stops so we didn't feel rushed.

It's worth it - There are 4 places you should visit. The choice of the tour accelerates the tour and allows you to see the 4 cities in one day. As every tour is all a little run. The visit to Edam was express. We almost ran through town. Despite this, the cost/benefit is worth it.

An ok tour to get outside Amsterdam. - The tour was ok. We got to see the towns, clog factory, and windmills from the outside. The cheese factory in Edam was nothing more than a commercial stop. The tutorial on cheese making lasted 60 seconds. It was all about selling the product. At the windmills you have to pay €7.50 per person to inside. There are two you can pay to see inside.
