Absolutely wonderful. Diana was super friendly and knowledgeable. My wife, daughter and I were the only tourists on this spectacular morning tour. I suspect that it's a wise move to book early in the day (before the tour buses arrive. We had a truly wonderful experience.
Thank you very much for this excellent review.
We had a wonderful tour with Diana, she was very helpful from the moment we booked, providing information to assist us to catch the train to meet her. On the day Diana met us at the train station and provided information along the way to help us to find our way back. Having grown up in the area Diana had both passion and local knowledge to share throughout the tour. She also ensured that we received a wooden shoe and cheese making demonstration and that we had time for photos and shopping if we desired. We recommend this tour to anyone who likes a more personal experience.
Thank you very much!
Diana is an absolutely fabulous guide. She is certified, knowledgeable, and grew up in the area and lives the town. She shared so much information; we kinda felt bad for the people in the other large tour groups.
Thank you very much for this excellent review! I have to admit, I always have that same feeling about the guests in those large tour groups.
Diana was fabulous! She was knowledgeable, friendly, and patient. We were able to get into group presentations first and have private experiences. We enjoyed our walking tour very much!
Thank you very much for this excellent review!
Absolutely amazing tour full of amazingly detailed explanations, I will highly recommend it. Our guide showed up in time and she was amazing
Thank you very much!
Diana went above and beyond. She gave us detailed directions on how to catch the train to Zaandijk Zaanse Schans. She met us at the station and gave us an in depth tour of the Windmill Village. Diana took us places and gave us insights which we would not have been privy to had we have been in a larger group. She was very generous with her time and allowed us to take as many photo’s as we wanted. Diana is local to the area meaning her knowledge is second to none. She gave a recommendation to try the mustard soup in one of the restaurants, and it didn’t disappoint! We can highly recommend Diana if you are considering a tour of the Windmill Village.
Thank you very much for writing this long and excellent review! It was a great pleasure to meet you!
Met Diana on the train platform. She informed me that I was the only person booked on the tour. I was so Happy that she did not cancel the tour due to lack of bookings. So welcoming and informative. Let me know of all the great food and coffee shops close by (definitely visited a few after the tour ended). Every tour stop we made, she had a smile and hello for everyone we came by. Never felt rushed to move onto the next stop. 100% would recommend to anyone. WOW
Wow! Thank you for this review!
Our tour guide was excellent we had regular updates from her she will go that extra mile for you as she met us and another family at Amsterdam Central train station tour was good from start to finish would recommend our tour and tour guide.
Thank you very much for this wonderful review!
Wow! What a great experience and highlight of our trip to Amsterdam! Diana is so knowledgeable and got us into all the stops without lines. She also has a lot of interesting facts that you would never know just walking around on your own. Well worth the money spent. Our family loved it!!
Wow! Thank you for this wonderful review!
Diana was absolutely wonderful tour guide for my visit to Zaanse Schans. She was full of knowledge and an absolute pleasantry to be around.
Thank you very much, Jason! It was an absolute pleasure to meet you both!
