Great introduction to the Amsterdam countryside - Carly was a fantastic guide-very informative and organized. She kept us on schedule so we were able to have a decent amount of time at each location. She shared interesting and memorable details about each place.

Great tour - This was a great tour. It was very relaxed and we saw a lot. There was a nice balance between quiet villages and fun tourist spot. It was nice to get out of the city and be in the countryside for the day. The tour guide was excellent and very kind.

Great day. Highly recommend. - Great day and visited some wonderful locations. Lara the guide was excellent. Timings for the day were perfect with ample time at each stop to not feel rushed and allow you to see all you needed. Learnt a lot about each location but also about the history and living in the Netherlands and Amsterdam. Highly recommend the trip.

Excursion with Eirien and Carla - My experience on this tour was wonderful. Our guide Eirien has made the eight hours short, entertaining us with every explanation and approaching the most beautiful corners of these villages. Also mention the bus driver, Carla, who always had a smile for us.

The trip started promptly... - The trip started promptly at 9:00 am and our Tour Guide Amanda was missing some enthusiasm, she was a bit monotone for our liking but nonetheless we were excited to start our day. She reminded us about being on time on various occasions which was fine but in Maarken she gave us wrong information. She told us that there was a house that now was a museum and that it was free of charge but it wasn’t even open that day & she also told us of a place we could go to restroom which wasn’t open either. There were 6 people in my group and we arrived 6 minutes late and she proceeded to reprimand us and when we made our second stop made sure to reference that fact that we had been late before. Quite frankly it was unnecessary & a bit embarrassing. Aside from that we made it work and ended having a great day.
