Excellent authentic excursion! - We had a wonderful time on our tour! It was wonderful to see the authentic villages of Holland on the outskirts of Amsterdam. This was honestly the best part of our trip to Amsterdam, and we are so glad that we did this. Each of the villages is charming, informative, and picturesque. The tour guide, who is very friendly, local, and informative, has also designed the trip in an order that avoids the crowds very well. I would highly recommend this trip, our trip would have been far from complete without this excursion!

Amsterdam: Zaanse Schans - Volendam - Giethoorn with Boat Tour - Our tour guide Adonis picked us up on time at the meeting point and then we start our tour. We visited the Giethoorn Center in the north of the Netherlands known as the Venice of North, the village is beautiful and also we had a 1 hour guided boat tour. We also visited the Zane Schans the most picturesque traditional 17th century village where houses and the collection of the windmills, learn how they produce world famous Dutch cheeses. Also we visited the Voledam Haven where you can see brightly painted wooden houses and see their colorful regional dress. Highly recommended it.
