Highly recommended. - We were lucky enough to do the tour with Eirien and we couldn't be happier. He explained in great detail every corner of the villages we visited, making everything come to life. It connects great with people, is dynamic, close and at the same time very professional. You can tell that he enjoys what he does and conveys it in every explanation. Highly recommended the tour... and much more if you do it with it!

Great day trip - Our tour guide, Tir, was fantastic! He tailored the day to what we wanted to see and showed us places that we wouldn’t have gotten to see. It was fun, informative, and made a perfect family day tour.

Tour provided was not provided as advertised. - We did not go to Marken as we were told that the road was blocked and they don't take the detour. Very disappointed and a substitute destination was not offered. I learned from the locals at Volendam that the road had been blocked for at least a month so why sell me the tour and not want to take us to Marken because the detour was an inconvenience to the driver. Guide was not that informative and just mostly dropped us off at each stop which were just tourist traps. Didn't inform us much about each destination. Very disappointed. In reality we could have just hired a driver because that is what we got instead of a tour guide. In Volendam we texted the driver that we were finished and he didn't respond so I had to ask the restaurant that he wanted us to eat at which we chose not to, to get in touch with him. He claimed he didn't see our text. During the ride he didn't inform of us sights. Not happy!
