“Pieter was an excellent guide who kept our large group moving, looking out for our safety and fun seeing the flowers, windmills, cheese, stroopwafels and wooden shoes! The boat ride was a great change of pace, and we found the whole experience informative and enjoyable. It was a long day, but an excellent way to see some of the country outside of Amsterdam. Our driver Eric provided a smooth ride, too!”
A guided half-day trip from Amsterdam to Zaanse Schans windmills, Volendam harbor life, cheese tasting, and clog making, with an optional canal cruise.
“Our guide was not a local NL native (either Spain or Italy), was very difficult to understand her english. The problem could have been that two tours were combined as the guide said everything in English and Spanish, she didn't tell us what the subject matter was, just started talking from one language to the other. Time spent at the stops was too short.”
Small-group countryside day from Amsterdam with Zaanse Schans windmills, hand-made clogs, cheese tasting, and fishing villages.
“Our family enjoyed the personal touch of this small group tour. The guide was knowledgeable about Dutch history and customs which added to the experience. He timed our visits to avoid most of the large tour buses. He stops at the cheese shop, wooden shoe shop and dairy were cut and dried with a demonstration and time to look around. The stop to see the windmills at Zaanse Schans was a 90 minute stop to see the windmills and town. You could easily spend more time there to see more. My son wanted to see inside the windmills, which requires a separate fee of 17.5 euros for all the open…”
Half-day Volendam from Amsterdam with Botterwerf shipyard views, Henri Willig cheese and clog making, plus 2.5 hours to wander.
“This worked pretty well. It got us to some nice locations. The busses did get a little off schedule. Twice the busses got over full. One driver let people stand and the other driver did not allow it and left people standing to wait 45 minutes for the next bus. Two of the stops are highly recommended and the other 3 stops are optional. We were not able to get the walking tours to work on our phones.”

“Enrique, our guide was wonderful. This was a not to be missed visit to small towns that really helped us understand the Dutch countryside and the people who have lived there for centuries. I would highly recommend this tour and Enrique.”
Every kind of Dutch day out, and the best of each.
