Excursion privée d'une journée d'Amsterdam dans la campagne

C.J. totally customized our tour and took us to some amazing towns north of Amsterdam. They were small, less traveled, some pedestrian traffic only. Exactly what we wanted to get to know the country without big cities or lots of tourists

Ruud customized our experience to take us away from the crowds and traffic for a wonderful day in the country and lunch at a great local restaurant. Would definitely book again.

Guillermo was fantastic. He was on time, super informative, personable, and even drove us around Amsterdam when we got back to town in addition to providing us with a list of recommendations. He had umbrellas and despite the rainy weather he made sure we had a great time. Even called his friend to slip us into a stroopwaffle making demonstration in Volendam. Great tour, great guide.

Sonny provided a great service! He was knowledgable and willing to work with our schedule. We had a great time and experienced a lot of Amsterdam that we might not have seen on a typical cruise ship excursion.

This tour met and exceeded our expectations. Our guide was so knowledgeable of the history of the area as well as up to date in happenings in the area. We saw so many interesting small villages. The guide included all of our requested sites and activities and supplemented the tour with activities and sites he felt would add to our experience as requested. We spent a delightful educational and informative day with Robyn., our guide. It was the highlight of our visit to Amsterdam. Highly recommend this tour.

We were really looking forward to this driving tour, based on the description and all the positive reviews. I hope our experience was an anomaly, but I fear it may not be. We paid nearly $800 dollars for two adults and one child, and I would have been happy with that amount, had our guide provided meaningful insight into Dutch history, architecture, culture…anything. Murat (the guide) was silent almost the entire time we were with him, so much so that we were very uncomfortable and had him take us back to the hotel before the last scheduled stop. There are three windmills that currently produce three different products. He did not even know what the three products are. At times, it seemed he did not know where the car was parked, and he spent quite a lot of time texting while we walked around. We stopped for lunch in a fishing village, and Murat sat with us silently. When it was time to pay, he did not offer to have his meal separated from ours, so we ended up paying for it. Murat is clearly a nice person, but this is not his calling, and he clearly has received no training or instruction. Bottom line - we paid $800 for someone to drive us to two villages near Amsterdam. The worst part is that when I raised our concerns with Ruud (Rudy), he only agreed to refund €50, because he acknowledged that we were not responsible for covering Murat’s lunch. I recommended that this experience be advertised as a driver service, rather than a tour, but Rudy did not acknowledge that recommendation. Bottom line - if you sign up for this, you may be paying way too much money for a car service. Do yourself a favor and go with one of the many other tour options for Amsterdam and the surrounding area. All our other guides in Amsterdam and other parts of Europe have been professional, kind, interesting, and knowledgeable. I am giving two stars, rather than one, because Murat is a nice person, and he did drive us to see the windmills and fishing village.

We booked Rudy's Taxi Company for two days of private touring based on very favorable TripAdvisor reviews. We arrived in AMS airport after flying nonstop from Texas at 9 AM in the morning. We were met at a designated place in the airport by our tour guide Guillermo. His English was perfect, his Mercedes van parked nearby was impeccable inside and out. He was in a professional appearing suit which we told him he could lose after that first day, but he didn't! He saw we were pretty wiped out but his recommendation was to stay at it for 6-7 hours that day in order to get us somewhat on local time before checking into our hotel; a technique I had used several times in the past. We spent the day seeing some of the areas in this beautiful country, especially during the peak of tulip season. The next morning, Guillermo was there to pick us up at 9 AM as wwe had asked, and we spent the day going through big cities and small towns - lunch at a small but excellent restaurant, a Gouda cheese factory, and much more. We were fully awake and enjoying that very full and wonderful day. We had contracted Rudy's to shuttle us to our river cruise boat the next day, and Guillermo was there at 9:30 as requested and took charge of all our luggage, shuttled us to the specific spot where our ship was docked, got our luggage handled in conjunction with the people from the boat. We said goodbye to our new found friend and went on board. Little did we know that we would end up back in the Netherlands two days before our departing flight. We contacted Rudy's, and the next morning Guillermo showed up on time and in his pristine Mercedes van! We were thrilled, especially after he took us on another day of touring Holland, then a day through parts of Belgium! Bruges is a fascinating city! You can pick other guide services or just shuttle services in the Netherlands, but our group of two couples was so impressed with Rudy's, and specifically Guillermo, that if we ever get back to the Netherlands, we know who we will contact first after coordinating our air travel!

Sonny was very good, on time, friendly and knowledgeable. We would highly recommend him and the tour.

We enjoyed our day-o-fun with Nicolette. She is an excellent guide: knowledgeable, friendly and genuinely cares about the quality of the experience she provides. She obviously did homework to come up with an itinerary based on our wish list of places to visit. She was able to convey a sense of history and culture during the whole of our trip - which is what we were hoping to be immersed in. Kudos Nicolette! Great experience which we recommend without hesitation.

Our tour guide was the best I have ever had while traveling . She went above and beyond to make our trip wonderful
