Excellent Experience! - Excellent day spent in the country with a very pleasant guide. Well worth the cost. We would not have seen anything outside Amsterdam if not for this trip. It gave us perspective on the history and the geography of Holland as a country. Entertaining and informative.

The best tour of tulips in Holland! - This was an excellent experience. It covered a lot of ground: a windmill tour, romping in the tulip fields with picking a bouquet and then lunch, followed by a boat tour. Mike is an outstanding guide; he's enthusiastic, caters to his guests and is a good boat captain. He knows all about tulip farming and is anxious to share his knowledge. I loved picking my own bouquet and photographing the gorgeous flowers. The boat ride was especially memorable, we seemed to go forever, and saw some beautiful homes. Mike's tour was one of the highlights of our stay in Amsterdam.

Tulips in Giethoorn - Tulip farmer and guide Mike is the best. He showed me tulips in Giethoorn. It was a super cool photoshoot in the fall with tulips. My friends from Instagram were completely overwhelmed. Mike, thank you so much.

Alkamar cheese market was the only good part of the whole trip - Tour guide Bea was super boring- she was like a school teacher whose only job was to give lecture- no light moments- no bottle bottle was provided- we were taken to a shop where. Hundreds of people were there so no cheese making process was seen no tulip field was visited. Alkamar cheese market was good- but tour guide was not helpful in any way
