We had a very pleasant drive to the three different stops, and good advice given by the driver. The driver was very kind and also very helpful on what to do at each stop. It would've been an extra plus if he had given us a little bit of history of the different stops, as opposed to just being the driver.

The driver Ahmet was very friendly and helpful. Made our trip really nice and enjoyable. He even went out of his way to show us some other places, that were not part of the initial plan The places are not very besr from main Amsterdam city and could have been covered by a normal taxi or even an uber at a cheaper cost.
Thank you very much for your kind words — I’m really glad you and your group enjoyed the day! It was a pleasure showing you around, and I’m happy I could add a few extra stops to make the tour even more memorable. I understand your comment about the distance and pricing — just to clarify, this was a full private guided tour with flexibility, local insights, and door-to-door comfort, rather than just a simple ride from point A to B. Still, I truly appreciate your honest feedback and hope you took home great memories from Zaanse Schans, Volendam, and the hidden gems along the way. Wishing you all the best and safe travels! Warm regards, Ahmet Euro Business Taxi & Tours 🚐🇳🇱
