Awesome tour with incredible guide, Leidse - Our guide, Leidse was a walking encyclopedia! He knew so many facts and fascinating bits of information. He planned the trip so that we would arrive in Zaanse Schans before the hundreds of people arrived so we could really enjoy the charm of the village. Leidse is probably one of the best guides I have ever had. Of course, the weather was spectacular so that helps a lot

Leidse The Great! - Getting out of Amsterdam to explore Zaanse Schans, Afsluitdijk and Giethoorn was a great experience that you definitely don't want to miss. Breaking away from the hussle of Amsterdam city life to visit the quant little villages to see a traditional clog manufacturer, the picturesque windmills, and a fairytale canal town is definitely a must-see. Make sure to bring your camera! Leidse was amazing! He was very knowledgeable about all the places we visited and was able to answer all of our questions. This was a great small group experience where Leidse truly got to know all of us, and took care of each person, individually, to ensure that everyone had a fantastic time. This is overall a great day and 100% worth the ticket price.

Leidse - 5 star - This trip was a five star experience because of our amazing tour guide, Leidse. The day could not have gone more smoothly! Leidse is very knowledgeable , has a great sense of humor, and took time to get to know each guest by name. Leidse was organized, attentive to detail, and fun. He also exceeded expectations and provided Dutch treats along the way. If you take this tour, make sure to request Leidse as your guide !

Great day outside the city - The countryside is beautiful, the dike was fascinating on how this is so significant to the country and the beautiful village of Giethoorn was a pleasure.

BEST TOUR EVER!!! Enjoy every minute of it! - This was one of the best tours I've ever been on! The size of the tour was small (7 people) so it was nice to get to know everyone. The tour guide Reinier was incredible. He was very knowledgeable, nice, friendly and helpful. He helped us take pictures as a few of us were solo travellers. When we had our free time to wander around, he saw me by myself so he came and offered to take some pictures for me before he went back to get the car. He told us a lot of information, not just the places we visited but also about The Netherlands and Dutch cultures. When some of us said we were gonna visit Rotterdam, Deft and The Hague during the stay, he gave us some pointers on where to visit and which trains to catch. Everything was very well prepared and well planned. There were water, umbrellas, power banks and even medicine on the car (something for every situation). Reinier even gave us stroopwafels (the traditional Dutch biscuit) to try. This tour exeeded all expectation and one of the best experiences I had during my stay in Amsterdam. 100% would recommend. In fact, when I come back with my family, I will do it again!

Giethoorn, Afsluitdijk, Zaanse Schans Day Tour Mini VIP Bus Incl. Hotel Pick Up through K7 Travel - We did not go on this tour at all as K7 Travel cancelled our tour the night before for a lame reason. They cancelled the tour under the pretext of bad weather. Weather in Amsterdam on May 16th, 2024 was beatiful, it was sunny and warm with no rain or storms, so it is hard to believe that they canceled the tour which was booked weeks before and left us stranded. That ruined our Amsterdam port call day of our cruise. Complaint to Viator did not yeild anything, Viator just said that we will get a refund, but failed to understand that K7 Travel cancelled it at the last moment providing a worst customer experience. I will not book any tour through this operator in the future.
