    Tour guide Xavier and driver William were amazing. Very knowledgeable and also very funny which set the mood perfect. The tour was great. Aside from changing the itinerary due to road construction/closures the tour was what I expected. They added few things in place of what we couldn't do. The windmills were great. The cheese and clog making was very interesting. The towns we walked through were beautiful. Highly recommend as a day trip tour to get out of amsterdam.

    It was a perfect day! The coach was immaculate and our guide was knowledgeable and kind. The first stop to the cheese making was very interesting and the cheeses were delicious. The second stop for clog making and the windmills in the Dutch countryside were stunning.

    I recently embarked on a half-day guided tour to Zaanse Schans and Volendam, which offered a delightful glimpse into the traditional Dutch countryside. The tour commenced with a visit to Zaanse Schans, renowned for its iconic windmills and historical architecture. The well-preserved village provided an immersive experience into the Netherlands' rich heritage, with opportunities to explore traditional crafts such as wooden shoe making and cheese production. Following the visit to Zaanse Schans, the tour proceeded to the charming fishing village of Volendam. Known for its picturesque harbor and vibrant atmosphere, Volendam offered a taste of authentic Dutch culture. The guide was knowledgeable and engaging, providing insightful commentary throughout the journey. The tour was well-organized, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience. Overall, this guided tour is highly recommended for anyone interested in exploring the quintessential Dutch countryside and learning about the country's cultural traditions.
