Abseits der ausgetretenen Pfade: Private niederländische Landschaftstour 1/2 Tag Jaguar

This was sooooo fun! Please support this wonderful gentleman. He was so gracious and accommodating! Very knowledgeable and great sense of humor!

Remco was right on time Tuesday morning to pick us up at our hotel in Amsterdam. Once on our way he asked if we were ready to see the countryside and see places you might not normally see and the four of us agreed. First stop was to learn about cheese and clog making and it was just the four of us with this private tour at this stop could not have asked for better way to start. Next off to see some countryside and windmills. Remco was very friendly and provided plenty of good information and commentary as we spent the 1/2 day with him getting plenty of pictures of the countryside and enjoying the scenery. Was so glad we took this tour.

Remco.... simply sensational. This man knows his history about Amsterdam and the surrounding area. He showed us the amazing beauty and culture of Amsterdam.

Our driver and guide Remco was promptly waiting at 9:30 am. He took us on a fact filled , picturesque tour of the Dutch country side. We did a brief stop at a cheese and clog shoppe as well which was good for a bathroom break and to buy water. Remco was very enthusiastic and filled with assorted fun facts.

Really enjoyed our time with Remco! He was super easy to communicate with before the tour, and easy to find when he picked us up at the airport. His car was very nice. He drove us all around the countryside and showed us some dikes, dairy farms, windmills, canals, lots of pastures, etc. It was so peaceful in the countryside. We saw lots of animals, including sheep, cows, horses, goats, chickens, even a few turkeys. We stopped at a dairy farm to taste the milk. Then we stopped at our request at the cheese and wood shoemaking factory. This was a really fun visit! It was a little touristy, but more authentic than the other places I had been our previous visits to Amsterdam. There were not hordes of people! We learned all about the cheese-making process and how they make wooden shoes. They had a very nice gift shop where we purchased our souvenirs and tasted lots and lots of cheeses. We tried to stop at a dairy farm and pet the sheep, but they were afraid of us and ran away. Remco told us lots of stories about growing up in the area and how much it has changed. He was very personable and fun to be around. We really enjoyed our day with him and highly recommend this tour!

We had the worst weather with trees down and services down BUT Remco thought quickly on his feet and reworked our tour and fitted in everything. Remco showed us his Amsterdam and it’s most beautiful country side

Real nice guide. We had great time, he showed us a lost during the expedition.We had good conversation .Would definitely recommend

No Crowds, saw much more than we would have if we were on a tour bus. We were late getting off cruise but driver made arrangements so we didn’t lose time on tour. He asked what we wanted to see and we saw all of it. From fields of tulips with no crowds to working windmills in fields.

Excellent walk, and excellent host Remco, one hundred percent recommended, punctuality, comfort, explanation of the places visited very clear, and best of all there were not many tourists in the places visited, in the mills we were the only tourists visiting. It was worth it.

So the 4 of us arrived at the airport in the morning. David and myself (in our 30's) and David's parents (in their 60's). We were met by Remco our guide for the tour with open arms. He helped pop our luggage in the car and we all set off. The 4 of us and Remco fit comfortably in his car where bottles of water and treats were provided! After introductions he asked what we would like to do. I had already mentioned that it was David's parents first time visiting Holland so I thought a traditional introduction would be good when talking with him before booking. So windmills, clog making, cheese tasting, fresh unpasteurized milk tasting, the beautiful Holland countryside and tulip fields were on the agenda. All of this was catered for and much much more. David and Remco got to chatting, as soon as football was mentioned that was it. We ended up visiting numerous football related landmarks, which David loved! Another great added extra we were not expecting. There were lots of these! The tour was listed as being 4 hours, we ended up arriving back at our hotel nearly 7 hours later! We cannot thank and reccomend Remco enough. This was a fantastic tour and a wonderful introduction to Holland and Amsterdam. Book this tour, you won't be disappointed! Thank you Remco, from Fleur, David and the 2 lovely ladies x x x
