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.

We loved the Zaanse Schans area and everything included in our tour. Our guide was welcoming, very well informed and patient. The bus ride was comfortable and easy to access. The difficulty for us was the sheer number of people (herding cats) and the duplicity of two languages. It would have been nice to know ahead of time that more than the language you signed up for was going to be included. This fact only allows the guest half-time with their guide. When you factor this in, unfortunately, it goes from great to only good.
