Perfect Day trip from Amsterdam - Had a great day tour from Amsterdam visiting Giethoorn, Afsluitdijk, and Zaanse Schans. The guide was friendly, the bus was comfortable, and each stop had something unique to offer. Giethoorn was especially beautiful, and I loved seeing the windmills at Zaanse Schans. Highly recommend this tour for a quick taste of Dutch highlights in one day!

Beautiful scenery - We had the most amazing tour guide. Reinier. He shared so much information about the area. We thoroughly enjoyed the stops that were made. We were fortunate to have blue skies and mild temperatures. The canal cruise in Geithoorn was beautiful. Highly recommend this full day tour.

Best Day Ever - Our guide was so informative, polite, personable, funny, and made the trip so much more than I expected. When I got back to my room, I texted my son and said it was the “Best Day Ever”. I will recommend this trip to anyone who I talk to. I will definitely recommend our tour guide

Just Book it! - Phenomenal experience. Our guide Leidse was remarkable, he knew his facts about every area we visited, had great tips on things to do and what to see. He was also great with all the groups questions. We had a small group which was ideal (about 8 people total). And we had a guided tour in each area and time to explore on our own. This is one of my favorite tours from our trip this far! The guide was even so kind as to hold our bags and take our photos!

Great trip. Great guide. Leidse. - Leidse was great! The communication from the team was great. Sending messages the day before, so we were at piece. The pickup and drop off were exactly what we expected. The knowledge shared during this trip was great. We learned many new points about The Netherlands and the areas we visited. The vehicle was clean and comfortable. The sites we visited were amazing. The vehicle was a large 3 row van, commercial size but small enough for Leidse and the eight passengers to feel vert comfortable. Everything was great.
