Great Private Tour - This guided tour was the best part of our trip to the Netherlands. The tour guide, Philip, was great. We got to see and learn so much about the Netherlands and its windmills, countryside, etc. This private tour was so much better than a big group tour. We strongly recommend this tour!!

Our guide Philip gave us a unique day out - Philip was an amazing guide. Took us to places coaches could not get to. Very knowledgeable historian. Very relaxed day with great lunch venue seeing windmills, cheese facility and clogg making. Philip adapted the trip to suit us. Going inside the working mill was the highlight.

A Great Overview of Windmills, Cheese & the Dutch Countryside! - This was an outstanding tour! Tuen was an excellent host and a wealth of information! We were able to tailor the itinerary to our tastes very easily. Tuen was also excellent about trying to avoid crowded spots where the tour busses and masses of people were. I would highly recommend this private tour over a group one. It was very personalized and we all loved it! And Tuen was fantastic!

USE THIS TOUR COMPANY- you won't be disappointed! - We were lucky to have Teun and Phillip, both part-owners of the company, as the guides for our family of 9. We actually went on two tours with them- one to Keukenhof and Delft, and one which was a highlights of Holland tour. I was hesitant to use the same company twice, in case we didn't like them the first time, but they didn't disappoint. From the get-go, they were welcoming and friendly. They also took special care in accommodating my dad, who can't walk quickly or for long distances, taking breaks as needed, or even going to get the cars for us so he didn't have to walk as much. If we ever go back to the Netherlands, we will definitely be getting in touch with them again!

A fun and interesting day! - We had a wonderful day with Teun! He arrived at our hotel promptly. Teun was very knowledgeable and shared the right amount of details with us. We visited several interesting locations north and east of Amsterdam. The restaurant we ate at had a nice variety of food, and was tasty.

Great day learning about the history of The Netherlands! - We had a wonderful day visiting the countryside of Holland. While it was a cloudy/foggy/chilly day - still incredible visiting windmills, small towns with great history, a cheese and clog factory - overall a really fun day trip from Amsterdam. And our tour guide - Teun - was incredible. Super knowledgable, friendly, great with kids, and kept us entertained and informed for hours.

Book This Tour Now!! - Amazing, Phillip was wonderful. He created a tour based on our interests. He was funny and easy going. He knowledge about Amsterdam and surrounding area was astonishing. As a historian he knows his stuff and spoke on our level. Never felt pushed into purchasing anything and he avoided the ‘touristy’ areas! Cannot recommend this tour enough. Definitely the highlight of our time in Amsterdam.
