It was the highlight of my Amsterdam trip. I highly recommend our tour guide Bea and our bus driver Colossus (Not sure about the spelling) they were great. The tour was well organized although as expected if you are in a group guided tour the amount of time is limited compared to doing it yourself. But it was a great guided tour and very worth the price if you are on a budget travel. I will definitely recommend it to my family and friends if they will travel to Amsterdam. Thank you Camaleon travel organizing team, Great job!

This tour is great, and well organised. There was a 30 min change in time, and I was contacted a few days prior to inform me about that. Holly was a great guide. Friendly and answered all questions we had. I do think that 2 hours lunch break is a bit too long, an hr and half would be enough, on a busy restaurants day. And the last stop, I think, wasn't necessary as it's basically a port, but it's just my own preference. Other people seem to be ok with both of these. The price was good and slightly cheaper than some other platforms. Btw, you can buy cheese during the tour, as the prices aren't higher than in shops, might actually be a bit cheaper. Same goes for some souvenirs, like wooden tulips were cheaper than in other tourist shops I passed by.

A really great way to see some charming locations not too far from Amsterdam, and a great way to do that without having to figure out how to navigate public transportation by oneself. We appreciated having a guide who was really knowledgeable about the history of the Netherlands and could explain how that affected the locations we went to. My one frustration was how much walking was required of us. There was no indication of how much walking was involved when I registered. It was a little much for my elderly parents.

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.
