Just as advertised! - We had a great time on the tour; we had a full mini bus (18 people) given it was tulip season. The bus was comfortable and Koen, our guide+driver was very accommodating.

Wonderful Day - Our tour guide was Reinier. He was exceptional in his knowledge. His personality was great and he made our experience and the whole day just wonderful.

This trip is the one to take! - Our tour guide Leiden was wonderful! He picked us up promptly at our hotel. We met another couple and a family who joined us. The day was VERY RAINY, but we saw everything that was included in our trip. Leiden brought along a large umbrella for each person. He is very knowledgeable and enjoys his work of sharing the history of Amsterdam, it's people and the places we visited. He used our phones to take pictures of us with windmills as the background, wearing pairs of wooden shoes and the wooden shoes in the shape of heart on the building where the demonstration took place. If we bought something, he put the bag in his backpack, so our gifts wouldn't get all wet. We really enjoyed this trip and seeing the beautiful countryside outside Amsterdam. Ask for Leiden, he is an excellent guide!

Girls Trip - Great small group tour. The towns we just beautiful and I think it was one of our favorite days! The drive time was minimal. Instead of driving all day we spent a lot of time at each location.

A Great Day! - Leidse was the host with the most! He was very engaging, informative, and very funny. This excursion was one of the highlights of me and my son's trip to the Netherlands. We had a very nice time, so much that we didn't want to part ways. Book this trip or you will miss out.

Interesting to see hoy... - Interesting to see hoy they make cheese, shoes and the wind mills. Guide was very nice. We had a good time

An unforgettable day... - This is a late review but life does have a tendency to catch up quickly when you return from a fabulous holiday. I went for the day trip to Zaanse Schans and Giethoorn in June and our guide, Koen, ensured that it was a trip each member enjoyed. He waited when I lost my way to the pick-up point and was very polite and cooperative too. It was an amazing experience and one I would recommend to everyone travelling to Amsterdam. If you are lucky, Koen could be your guide for the day too!!

Picture Perfect - This was a great day trip!! Both villages were picture perfect and it was such a relaxing day! Our tour guide, Kai, was helpful and knowledgeable!!

Not what I expected - The beginning of the tour was nice. We loved seeing the cheese making process and the clogs. I appreciated that the first stop was only a 30 minute ride from London. The tour guide had umbrellas which was nice. The stops were both touristy and did not feel authentic. Although this was a small group tour, my family was most of the tour. There was only 1 additional guest. I asked the guide to delay the tour to 9am from 8:30am so we had more time for breakfast and he refused saying there were others on the tour. He could have had the courtesy of contacting that 1 additional guest to make our morning easier. The second stop on this tour was not worth it at all in my opinion. It was a 1 1/2 hour drive to go to a super sleepy town were everything was closed. We were rushed at lunch because we had to make a boat trip by a certain time only to find out we had the boat completely to ourselves and the time could have been changed. The guide was more of a driver than a guide. We were told we only had a few options for lunch and then found other restaurants to be open. I feel a better experience would have been having lunch pre-ordered and serving it on the boat ride which has tables. The boat ride was quite boring. I would not recommend this tour at least not in the wintertime.

Fine, but wanted independence - We got to visit some traditional Dutch places which I loved. What made me give it 3 stars is all the experiences (besides the boat ride) are free and can be enjoyed at your own leisure in the first stop… however, you’re with a group and you’re pace is dependent on others. Which slowed us down significantly and impacted our time to explore ourselves. Made me feel rushed and trapped honestly. I wish they would’ve told us you had a choice to go around. Now the second spot was similar but different. You go on an hour boat ride. But I would’ve rather explored on foot with my time vs being on the boat for an hour. Same thing where I wished it would’ve been communicated I could go off. Otherwise, it’s great transportation and the guides nice. But recommend making it what you want since it’s not limited by a time table persay. Go do you, I wish I had!
