Giethoorn, Afsluitdijk, Zaanse Schans Day Tour - Definitely worth the trip. - This is a great tour. It gave us a chance to see parts of the Netherlands outside of the cit. Our tour guide provided water, tons of knowledge and jokes. Geithoorn is beautiful and demonstrated a completely different way of life (homes are only accessible by water). The visit to Afsluitdijk Dike shows you how living below sea level is possible. We found Zaanse a little touristy but the cheese shop and Dutch shoe were demonstration great. We are happy we did this tour.

Fantastic day exploring the areas around Amsterdam - Leidse was a fantastic tour guide from pick up to drop off. He offered great information and a sense of humor. He worked to get us to see the sites without having to deal with the crowded tour buses. He even carried our souvenir purchases in his pack, so we didn’t have to be bothered with those. There was plenty of time to explore the sites after the guided tour which we appreciated very much. Some tours can feel very rushed, but this one did not.

An amazing experience - Leidse Was our tour guide and man what an amazing guy! His energy was phenomenal and we loved that so much! He really shared so much about the Netherlands and things we didn’t even know! He was such a nice guy, took amazing pictures and shared so much and gave us plenty of time to enjoy the sites! He was an excellent tour guide! I highly recommend him! I would not change a thing! Loved the tour! I wish we had more cash on us to tip him to be honest! He was just so genuine and really cared to make our experience a great one! Thank you for making our unforgettable vacation so special! Give this guy a promotion! Great tour and excellent boat driver too!

Leidse made the day for me - Had a wonderful day out with Leidse as our guide, he was a great person and is definitely an asset to the company - Leidse went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable on the tour, including helping us with umbrellas, carrying any souvenirs and explaining all the interesting facts about every place we visited/passed through - I highly recommend anyone to have Leidse as their guide because he made the day really special and I will miss his positive energy/happiness

Excellent Tour with Perfect Travel Buddy cum “Driver” - Leidse is a very friendly and knowledgeable “Travel Buddy”. He is attentive, helpful and fun tour guide, boat captain and “driver”. He is able to communicate well in both English and Chinese, and I am sure in Dutch too. The whole day tour went well and smooth under the excellent planning of Leidse and we have so much fun!!!!!!
