The tour was fine but we were given the wrong address as to where we should have been picked up which caused a lot of stress . Otherwise it would have been a 4 or 5 star experience. The guide did go out of their way to finally pick us up but we missed the first part of the tour. They did bring us back to our hotel which wasn't expected.
Well thought out tour covering windmills, cheese tasting & clog making demonstrations all set amongst beautiful scenery. Guide Mickey was entertaining and informative.
Top excursion. Feel free to take one hour longer, free moments could be longer
interesting and short. It is worth it; the guide is very good. I recommend stopping in Zaandam first, as you can see the village in half an hour.
We loved this tour! The whole team from our wonderful guides to the bus driver were very friendly, welcoming and organised. Being able to see and experience this unique part of the Netherlands in a compact tour time around 3 hours, was worth every $ and we would recommend to all.
This tour is great! Our guide actually lived there and was super knowledgeable. I recommend to anyone.
The coordination for the pick up was a disaster. They pick us up late and because we call them. The driver has the wrong information about the pick up time and the pick up place. But Bianka ( the tourist guide in zaanse schan) was amazing and the place is beautiful
The tour itself with Kenny was very good, however be careful regarding your tickets as ours was arranged with a Hotel pick up and confirmed with this stated on the tickets, but this did not happen.
Fascinating place and absolutely beautiful.Yo actually go into a windmill,watching clog shoe making and cheese making experiences were amazing.Our tour guide Maachi was very pleasant and knowledgeable.
Very enjoyable half day tour with Ray. Friendly, knowledgeable local guide. Booking and pick up was easy, Zaans is worth a visit in a small group with more of a personal approach. There is enough time to explore and experience a little of the beautiful countryside/culture before returning to Amsterdam. Worthwhile and good value.
