Zaanse Schans Vindmøller, ost og Volendam Tour fra Amsterdam

Nice trip with stops in the fishing village and the windmills/cheese. However, the bus provider the tour used supplied a bus that was very dirty inside and had bottles and other trash left from an earlier trip(s).

The experience was eye opening. The guide was very informative and took care of the group.

Windmills, cheese, shoes, seaside. All included and very nice overview of Netherland customs. Volendam was a very nice seaside community to stop for lunch and enjoy the views. Walked on and drove along dikes and heard about the city and effects of water. Tour was 5 hours. Could have used 6 to spend more time at the windmill museum. We did leave a little late, ending late. Canal tour scheduled afterwards and was a push to make. (Scheduled 45 minutes after scheduled end of the tour.) I would recommend this tour for an overview of the countryside and Dutch customs.

A pleasant bus trip to Zaanse Schans, visiting a cheese producer, a wooden shoe maker, the village of Volendam, and the village of Zaanse Schans. Our tour guide had to provide explanations in two languages (English and German) - it was a bit tedious. Overall, it was far too short, with little time for sightseeing and also for lunch.

We really like the guide Evelyn's explanation of the area and highlights. It was so nice to step back in time and see how shoes, cheese, etc. were made in past centuries. BTW, it's listed as 5 hours, but it was truly 3.5 hours.

We are very disappointed, we had made a reservation with a bilingual English and French guide: the person who received us told us that our French guide was sick and that there were only 2 of us French speakers. The tour would be conducted with an English and Spanish guide. The guide spoke French; she gave us a little explanation when getting off the bus, but throughout the trip, we understood nothing. Similarly, for the cruise on the canal, we had to take an audio guide on our phone: I downloaded the QR code on my phone, but it did not work, and my husband's phone does not have the QR code function, so we understood nothing. We request a full refund of this service via bank transfer. Thank you.

Tour itiniary was good. But the whole day we felt rushed. Not enough time given at each stop. Cheese making stop was just a stop to visit their store. Demonstration was maybe 5 minutes long. Guide didn’t give good explanations of what there was to do at each stop. Which may have been on purpose since not much time was given. Sites were good. Don’t regret going. But know you only have very little time at each stop

This was a great experience, but a pity that Volendam was cancelled due to a missing guide. It was easy to find our guide and we got good information all the way. Great to see the windmills and the whole area was beautiful. We got plenty of time for lunch too. Recommended😊

Zaanse Schans is an absolute must! Our tour guide, Rob was awesome. Extremely friendly and knowledgeable. 10/10 recommend!

This was very disappointing. On the bus we could not hear what the guide had to say. When we could, it cut in and out. It was difficult having two languages when we had booked English only. There was very little commentary at all and our guide was very bland. It said to be prepared for walking but we had to walk a long way from the bus to destinations when other buses pulled right up. It would have been nice to have a water or something welcoming. The attractions were not authentic. It said stop at cheese making farm etc but it was one place with a how to make cheese and how to lathe clogs demo - to sell their wears. Other tours provided access to windmill and actual farm but this did not even though it sounded like it in the description. Same tour was advertised as $56 but that was for Spanish, whereas English same tour was $70.00! Why is this? For the price it was very poor and we would NOT recommend.
