Amazing 5-star tour of Kinderdijk! - WONDERFUL experience! If you’re tired of the “big bus, part of the herd” type of tour, book a day trip with Steve. A certified guide, Steve was personable, polite, and knowledgeable, and he knew precisely how to match our pace and level of interest. He was flexible with our route and we appreciated his kindness.

Do this trip! With this company and guide! - Steve was an excellent guide—incredibly informed and able to explain with just enough detail. Kinderdijk is a lovely, peaceful area full of history and Delft is a delightful, vibrant town with many interesting buildings and areas.

Wonderful daytrip to Kinderdijk and Delft - I was looking for a daytrip to the Kinderdijk windmills that would suit my 90 year old mum, who can walk well but slowly and not for long distances. I booked this tour with Steven Attersol for a number of reasons: We were only visiting two locations, we could go at our own pace, we were picked up at our hotel and the reviews were all positive. And we were not disappointed. Steven provided us with extensive knowledge of Amsterdam, Kinderdijk and Delft, he was patient and helpful with my mum and he took us to a charming café in Delft for fabulous apple pie. It was a lovely outing and definitely worth it. I can highly recommend Steven and this tour!

- As part of our road trip in the Netherlands, we discovered Kinderdijk and its mills 🌾 Visit of Kinderdijk – 12 April 2025 As part of our road trip to the Netherlands, we had the chance to discover Kinderdijk, an iconic UNESCO World Heritage site with beautiful weather. This unique village brings together 19 perfectly preserved historic mills nestled in a typical Dutch polder landscape. The tour offers a real journey back in time, with an immersion in the ancestral workings of water management in the Netherlands. 👍 What we liked: • The exceptional natural setting: paths along canals, birds, reeds... A peaceful and photogenic decor. • The historical richness: the mills open to visit are furnished and animated, with clear explanations about the lives of the millers. • 🚲 Possibility to visit on foot or by bike, or even by boat, to vary the views. We took beautiful images, especially with our drone. It is a must for lovers of heritage, nature and hydraulic engineering. A soothing, cultural and authentic experience. We will keep a strong and striking memory of it. We really liked it!!!

Informative and Stress Free - A wonderful experience with Steven! He gave us so much insight into Amsterdam and the Windmills. Our drive to Delft really showed us the countryside, We had a wonderful tour of Delft and visiting the workshop, De Candelaer, was very informative. Steven suggested a great restaurant for lunch in Delft and a very fine French restaurant in Amsterdam, In T Vierde Barrsje.

A Beautiful Day and Memories Forever - Steve was an amazing guide! He asked us questions about how we wanted to tailor our time and made sure we made the most of it. We had a great experience visiting Delft and learning about how the ceramics are made. The family owned shop was a treat to visit. We really enjoyed that we got out of the busy city and learned so much about The Netherlands. Steve was a wealth of information and took us to the places the locals visit. This was a day we will certainly remember. At the end of our trip he even had a little momento from his company as a thank you. If you want to see true Netherland windmills and visit a beautiful city, I can’t recommend Steve enough! You will have a wonderful day!
