An amazing day in the Netherlands - This was a fun experience. Eric was fabulous. He picked me up from the hotel, which made life a lot easier. Then took great care of our group making sure each of us was comfortable, and well taken care of and answered ALL of our questions. I had lots! He shared a lot of fun history of each place and was very knowledgeable of all of them. Each place was very different from the other and it was fun to see so many different parts of the Netherlands. I learned a lot & loved the experience. Thanks Eric!!

A great and relax day tour! - Our tour guide Reinier did a great job. He gave us many fun facts of Amsterdam on the ride and provided us bottle water and free wifi. Zaandam was a photo stop. In Zaanse Schans, after cheese tasting and clog workshop, we paid 7.5euro/pp to go up a windmill. We had lunch at Grand Cafe in Giethoorn. After the boat ride, we had free time to explore on our own. The whole day tour was relaxing.

Great day spent with Simon our guide - Simon was our guide, driver, boatman and did a great job taking us around to Giethoorn, Zanse Saans, and Zandam. We had plenty of free time and beautiful weather to enjoy these places in September. He took us to Giethoorn first to avoid the crowds, which was great since it's a small place and very beautiful.

Netherlands countryside experience. - It’s a long day but you will experience the Netherlands countryside and farming areas. The transportation was clean and very comfy. Our guide Pete was patient, courteous and professional, despite a ‘challenging’ family turning up with more people than they had booked for he did his utmost to accommodate them. He kept us well informed with extensive local and national knowledge. His meal recommendations were spot on! The places you will visit are ‘iconic’ and showcase both modern and historic Netherlands landmarks.

Good value - Guide is good, I was supposed to be in an English tour but changed last minute, so my kid don’t understand as much. Car little cramp, it should have at max 7 guests on this type of van.
