Great experience with Leidse - Our guide Leidse was a joy to be around. Not only did he have great knowledge of all the places, he also knew how to ride a boat! The small open boat that we got to ride on in Giethoorn was spectacular and was definitely better than the big boats with the roofs since those had lots of people riding at once. Thank you for the great experience Leidse!

Great opportunity to explore the Netherlands outside of Amsterdam - Wonderful day trip away from Amsterdam! Eric guided us through Zaanse Schans and Giethoorn with great expertise. Moving our small group from one activity to the next but without ever feeling rushed. The unexpected treat was the dike. Eric easily answered questions, provided interesting information and was one of the best guides/drivers we’ve had.

Knowledgeable, Fun, and Truly Memorable - Leidse was an absolutely wonderful tour guide! He was full of knowledge, fun facts, and plenty of fun. He engaged with everyone in our group from start to finish, making sure we always felt safe and comfortable. His thoughtful touch of bringing us sweet treats made the experience even more special. This was hands down the best tour we’ve had in all of our travels so far. Thank you, Leidse, for making it unforgettable!

Great experience, Reinier is the best! - Reinier was amazing! He was fun, flexible, knowledgeable and went above and beyond to make sure we had a good time and got everything we were looking for from the experience. Late September was a great time as the canal wasn’t less busy and was a calm, relaxing experience. Book this tour you won’t be disappointed!
