Zaanse Tours operate this tour. Excellent local resident guide with multi generational local roots. - Excellent resident knowledge! Tour included Village, Farm & History content; old, dike with reclaim background, new tech farming & fishing overview. Lunch with local residents away from tourists was appreciated for quality and culture. The dairy farm has on demand robotic milking with individual cow data base for milk production. Village had various working windmills. Volendam boat transfer had fabulous onboard ferry local engagement, easy for Canadians. Get off the beaten path, experience.

Great tour - Callum was prompt, exceptionally kind and friendly as well as patient. He answered all of our questions and more! His car was clean and well maintained. Callum was informative and had a great sense of humor. We met a couple later that evening at the hotel restaurant and already recommended him!

A must See! - Omg, our tour guide Kalemn took us around windmills, high up in the chamber and explained everything to us from back in the Viking days. Kalemn was the BEST tour guide we had on our 11 day vacation and tours. If you have the opportunity to request his for this tour, definitely do it. He also took us through the heart of Amsterdam ( my request), which made this tour the tops!!! Our lunch was an amazing experience learning about smoke eel. My husband loved that!

Best Way to see Quintessential Dutch Countryside in One Day - To see the country side around Amsterdam in one day this is your tour. We were picked up at our hotel in downtown Amsterdam (not an easy place to get around by car) and taken to see and experience all things Dutch: charming Dutch village, process of making wooden shoes, windmill operations, automated milk cow farm and cheese making and wonderful lunch at a restaurant perched atop a dike next a lake. Wonderful day tailored to our interests. Highly recommend.
