Worth it! - Lovely countryside, seeing the windmills in action was so cool. Ali was a great tour guide, knowlegable, and he took us to each stop on the tour when crowds were thin. The fishing village Monnickendam was so charming, & Ali found a bakery that made delicious sandwiches, so our lunch was quick & we had more time to walk around the little town. I didn't expect the dairy farm to be interesting, but it was! Glad we stopped there (& yummy cheese!). Also seeing clogs made was facinating. Great tour, highly recommend.

Great experience and lot of interesting facts - Great tour and highly recommended. Ali made our tour very interesting and informative. He has a great knowledge about history of Netherlands , economic, agriculture. Time just flies , we skipped all crowds , saw beautiful fishing village and windmills. Usually I am not a fan of commercial stops but cheese tasting was great and after finding that we can order purchased cheese to be shipped to our country instead of placing it in luggage 😂 it was difficult to stop .

Wonderful small group full day experience - Wonderful tour and awesome guide! Ali was very informative and he kept us away from the large groups which was exactly what we wanted. We enjoyed every stop along with the company!

Netherlands at it’s best! - The Windmill and Fishing Villages were amazing. Nothing like it. Ali, our tour guide, was exceptional. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Made sure all in the tour was included.

All was great!!! - Ali was great!!! I would highly recommend this tour, but book it through someone else not Viator. We will never use Viator again as they canceled our van Gogh museum tour less than 24 hours before it started. we did get tickets to another service even though they were sold out. I do not recommend Viator nor would I ever to anyone?

Windmills +++ Cheese and clog shop was very commercial - Windmills were great, original design and were still working. The cheese and clog shop I could have done without, but lunch was very good.

Tour never showed. Stood there in the wind and cold waiting for 25 minutes - The tour never showed. We stood there waiting. It was so frustrating. We did get reimbursed our money a day or so after. But we had a whole day tour planned and now had nothing.
