If you want to experience the true Netherlands thats is definitely a tour to do. Again thank you for your kindness and support Tour Up in Europe and our guide Diana
After our amazing toyr in Van gogh museum we decided to ask this company what else they had to offer. And this was a wonderful experience! I mean it! It was like fairy tale. Even the Marie Antoine’s village in Versailles os nothing to compare with this. The cheese tasting is a must! And try to get some hering - delicious We opted for Maria guide once again
We had such a great day on this tour! The windmills were amazing to see up close, and the guide was super friendly and made everything interesting. The cheese tasting was a big highlight for us, and the stop by the water was really nice and relaxing. It was just a really fun and easy way to see more of the Dutch countryside. Definitely worth it!
Visiting Dutch windmills has been a dream of mine, and this tour made it come true!! we ended up taking photos that looked like postcards!! And enjoyed chocolate and cheese tastings afterward, which added to the fantastic experience :) Thanks to our guide Alex, everything was amazing!
