Highly Recommend the Zaanse Schans - Volendam - Giethoorn Tour with Igor! - This day trip was the perfect way to experience the natural beauty of Holland. Our guide, Igor, was amazing – knowledgeable, friendly, and made us (two ladies traveling together) feel completely comfortable. He shared fascinating insights into Zaanse Schans, Volendam, and Giethoorn, and his passion for the places we visited was evident.
The boat tour in Giethoorn was particularly magical, offering stunning views of this charming village. If you’re planning this trip, I highly recommend booking it with Igor. He truly made the experience unforgettable!

Wonderful day trip to 3 charming villages led by Adonis who is an excellent tour guide - The 3 villages we visited represented the charming history of the Netherlands. Absolutely beautiful!
The tour group was small and luckily the stops were not crowded. The trip felt like being with new friends.
The crowning touch to the day was our tour guide Adonis. He is so knowledgeable and personable. He made the trip so fun and relaxing.
Highly recommend!

Had I imagined more spectacular - I had imagined myself more spectacular. Almost only souvenir shops and cheese where everyone had their fingers in I didn't want to eat. There are really nicer places in the area
