Fabulous! - Rob was a great guide, and he provided us an abundance of historical information about all of the areas through which we travelled. The bus was comfortable and we could easily hear Rob's descriptions of where we were headed, and the significance of each area. I was the slowest walker of the group, and when Rob realized this, he took great care to watch over me and make sure that he was always aware of me, and where I was. As a group leader, Rob was outstanding, kind of like a shepherd with small but (somewhat) rambunctious flock, lol. I learned a great deal, bought a bit (ok maybe more than a bit😂😂) of fabulous cheese, and had an experience that I will fondly remember for years to come. Highly recommend!!

A lovely experience of Holland outside of the usual Amsterdam - Rick was one of the best tour guides I've experienced in a long while. He was informative, and knowledgeable, as well as giving the group an insight into the Dutch life and its peoples. While a long experience, we saw a lot, from cheese making and tasting, to clog making, a seaside village and all those windmills. Our group thoroughly enjoyed the day, and would highly recommended it.

Great choice! - They took us to two quaint villages, one was on the water. Both were beautiful!!! So glad I got out of the city, saw the villages and learned about traditions, and saw how things were made. I wish we had more time everywhere because we didn’t want to leave. Great choice for a few hours if you are in Amsterdam.
