Informative and Stress Free - A wonderful experience with Steven! He gave us so much insight into Amsterdam and the Windmills. Our drive to Delft really showed us the countryside, We had a wonderful tour of Delft and visiting the workshop, De Candelaer, was very informative. Steven suggested a great restaurant for lunch in Delft and a very fine French restaurant in Amsterdam, In T Vierde Barrsje.

A Beautiful Day and Memories Forever - Steve was an amazing guide! He asked us questions about how we wanted to tailor our time and made sure we made the most of it. We had a great experience visiting Delft and learning about how the ceramics are made. The family owned shop was a treat to visit. We really enjoyed that we got out of the busy city and learned so much about The Netherlands. Steve was a wealth of information and took us to the places the locals visit. This was a day we will certainly remember. At the end of our trip he even had a little momento from his company as a thank you. If you want to see true Netherland windmills and visit a beautiful city, I can’t recommend Steve enough! You will have a wonderful day!

Windmills in the countryside - Our guide prepared ahead of time with every detail and then he did a great job modifying our tour in the moment when we needed to eat or wanted to spend more time at a stop. He was very friendly and had a great way of sharing information. I would highly recommend our guide Steve and this tour!

A great introductory tour to The Netherlands - This was a fantastic trip that took us well outside of Amsterdam to visit the UNESCO Kinderdijk Windmills and a tour through Delft.
Steven greeted us promptly at 09:30 in front of our hotel and adjusted the initial itinerary based on it being a holiday. So that meant Kinderdijk first instead of Delft.
Kinderdijk was great and Steven showed his skills by filling in the details of the how and why about The Netherlands, how the land was all made by hand, and the importance of the windmills in keeping the country dry.
Onto Delft. We originally thought it would be more about the pottery, but were very surprised both on the amount of time spent on the pottery (a little) and how much in the town of Delft (a lot). Steven showed us to a nice spot with the best Apple Pie we have had in the country, and spent a bit of time walking among the historic buildings and telling us the fascinating history of the city, province and country.
I’d say the only bad thing is we should’ve booked him on our first day. After the tour he had a lot of useful information about the surrounding areas, and other parts of Amsterdam to visit.
Great and very thoughtful tour, and you’ll get so much more out of it by talking to your guide and asking questions.

Great guide to have - Stephen is a great tour guide. For us from the USA he does a good job of converting metric to our usage so we can visualize size, depth and such. He has great knowledge of the history of what we're viewing and gives interesting little known facts

Nice afternoon in the nature and sun - Great for bikes and just walking in a nice day.
Great place for photos.
The parking is free so you can spend as much time as you want by walking cycling or even nice cake and coffe.

Exciting and enlightening - Exciting and enlightening. There were many visitors which made the experience less good. It is recommended to take/lease a bicycle. Not suitable for people with walking difficulties.
