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.

Well organized and structured. Clear instructions and punctuality. Comfortable vehicle and, best of all, the driver, who was also a showman and kept the audience entertained, even though we had separate guides. He told stories and kept us entertained while we waited. Very pleasant.

I appreciate the experience with all its details, Mrs BEA was the perfect guide for such tour, she gave us all the necessary information about the different places we went to, she was kind and helpful, I hoped all guides were like BEA 😁💕 Special thanks to Fateh, the driver who was helpful and professional as well 🙏

I really enjoyed the tour. Alina, Océane and Stef the rock were amazing guides/drivers. We have been lucky to enjoy some snowy landscape. I strongly recommend to go on that tour to discover more about the countryside. Thank again to the team that made that tour memorable

Everything went as described and even better. Many thanks to Steff and Estrit for their good energy and great effort. I defenetly recommend this tour.

    • 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.

    Sometimes He started his guide information before all the group got to the point. We lost the guide at the windmill venue probably because we were following other groups as It was so busy. Guide's info on coach was too quiet we couldn't hear him . They were lovely guides.
