Zaanse Schans, Volendam & Edam: Privétour (Max 3 per)

Allen was so knowledgeable and friendly during our tour. He shared his knowledge of the regional uniqueness at each stop and how to appreciate the Netherlands beyond Amsterdam. He also provided good recommendations for our other travel needs while in Amsterdam.

We picked a private tour rather than bus because one of our party has arthritis. Alan went above and beyond for us to make this experience fantastic. We enjoyed it thoroughly and got out of it more than we had hoped. He adjusted the tour to suit limitations.

This was, without question, the best experience we had in Amsterdam. Spending the day with Allen felt less like a tour and more like exploring with someone who truly knows and loves the area. Everything was customized and intentionally away from the crowds, which made it feel relaxed and personal from start to finish. Allen is not only incredibly knowledgeable, but also just a genuinely great person to talk to. Easygoing, engaging, and the kind of guide you wish you had everywhere you travel. Getting out to the tulip fields and actually walking through them was unforgettable. Being able to experience that up close, without the crowds, made it feel special in a way the typical tours just can’t match. If you’re coming to Amsterdam and don’t do this, you’re missing one of the best experiences available. I would book this again without hesitation.

We had a great day with Allen. He was very knowledgeable and easy going. Took us to see the sites and also stopped so we could see the amazing tulip fields and take pictures. Definitely recommend this tour with Allen!

Perfect day! Allan drove us from place to place efficiently and was able to answer a variety of questions not only about the tour but also about the Netherlands in general. The tour stops were all great, and being on a private tour rather than a large bus tour was ideal. I also liked that the tour stops were carefully selected for a half-day experience focused on our interests rather than rushing to many different locations all day. Highly recommended!

Experiencing close up and inside a windmill was interesting. Our guide Allen was excellent and informative. Spending time in Volendam and Edam and getting away from the big city to see the lifestyle was great. This tour was overall well done!

Mostly enjoyed the day. The countryside was beautiful. Alen was friendly and happy to answer questions. Only negative the car had dirty windows so it was difficult to see out. Loved our walks through Volendam and Edam. Worth doing this tour to get out of Amsterdam and see the beautiful Dutch countryside.

Had fun walking around quaint villages! Relaxing and lots of shopping if you choose to do so. Tried kiplings(?) deep fried cod with a nice tartar sauce, delicious!

Allen was absolutely amazing!! Great communication skills and information. We loved the windmills and Volendam. Too bad it was so windy, could have spent the day in Volendam. I would highly recommend Allen for this excursion. Thanks Allen for a great day!!

As I reflect back to a month ago when we took this tour with Allen, I can saw it was worth every euro and more. Being able to see the country side outside Amsterdam was great and Allen’s narrative was informative and interesting. Besides the touristy town of Zaandam North we especially loved both the seaside town of Volendam Haven, where we had a lovely lunch on the docks, then the even more beautiful, quant town of Edam was a highlight. It was the perfect way to get out and about when you have mobility issues. Allen was also gracious enough to provide options for dining in Amsterdam for later in our trip. We highly recommend Allen and his personal service.
