It was a really nice trip! The places we visited were wonderful. There was just one thing I didn't like: there were a lot of us and only one guide. He spoke so slowly that the people in the back couldn't hear a thing.

The tour was well organized. The guides were very friendly and helpful. The individual stops were very interesting. My favorites were the windmills and the boat ride. The cheese tasting was very good, but there wasn’t much information about how the cheese is made.

Amazing tour to see all of what the Netherlands offers besides big city life😁 Th onboarding is dramatic as there are at least a dozen or more bus tours kicking off the same time, so follow the email directions m, that will help. Richard was our English tour guide, he was awesome! Enjoy!!!!!

The organization wasn't great when it came to the different departure times. Once everything was sorted out, though, our guide was fantastic, and we visited some beautiful villages with architecture that was quite different from Amsterdam's. It was a wonderful day. I highly recommend it.

We saw much more than if we tried to do this tour on our own. Our tour guide Carly was awesome, she knew the spots we stopped at and shared her wealth of information.
    • Travel across four distinct Dutch towns, from windmill fields to harbor villages, with guided commentary that helps you understand how each place fits together.

    • Skip transport planning with a bus that takes you between each stop efficiently, keeping the day structured and allowing more time to explore each location

    • Observe cheese being made in real time, then try different types, noticing differences in flavor, texture, and how production methods influence the final result.

    • See how traditional clogs are made step by step, from carving the outer shape to hollowing the inside, ending with a smooth finished wooden shoe.

    • Pick an English or Spanish guide, upgrade with canal cruise, include Volendam Marken boat transfer, or add audio guides and stroopwafel demonstration to make your trip even better.
