A good way to see more - We had a prompt pickup and shared the this with 6 others. The van was comfortable and the driver friendly and safe. We picked the peak season for the trip so all venues were crowded which made us very happy we had chosen a small trout and not a huge one. We felt we got our money’s worth at all the stops. The weather was cool and rainy but we fully enjoyed it all. We highly recommend this tour and the company arranging the tour!

Beautiful, peaceful, pleasant. - The whole trip was five people and I had a great day. My guide Leidse is a passionate Dutch man, fluent in both English and Chinese. He gave us a detailed description of each attraction and took our pictures. Sheephorn Village and Windmill Village are very beautiful, hope to come back again next time

Good Tour - Our driver "Pete" was awesome. Very friendly and informed. Zaanse Schans was fun to see the traditional Dutch activities like cheese making and wooden shoes. Try to get there early to beat the big crowds. Giethoon is a quaint little town. Boat ride was a small boat in small canals. Many boats. Its a long day, but a small group and it was all interesting and it was nice to see a lot of the countryside.
