Great experience about life in Amsterdam. Our tour guide on 8/20 was amazing. So fun, knowledgeable and helpful. Great stop to make when visiting Amsterdam.
Once you have been picked the guide is very knowledgeable and funny. The whole experience was educational and brilliant. Learnt a lot from this experience.
It’s a beautiful area and Claudia was a great guide. However, it was rushed. I would prefer a longer stay with more free time to explore the area.
Very neat little area and worth taking the time to go see. Our tour guide was very informative. Enjoy.
Good history and discussions on and off the bus. There was enough free time at the different areas of the village to really explore, while not losing the whole day like on other day trips. Highly recommend this tour to those that want to get out of Amsterdam for a quick trip to a picturesque little town.
The meeting place was convenient to get to. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the area.Easy walk for those you can’t tolerate long stretches of walking.
It was good. The area that we went to felt designed for tourists. Very crowded the day we went. The tour guides were friendly and knowledgeable.
A wonderful time to see the windmills. A beautiful space. Very clean. A great day. You need to pay to go up in windmill.
This was a great tour. My wife and I enjoyed itva lot. Our guide, Caroline, was one of the best guides we have experienced! She was very knowledgeable and had a wonderful personality. She helped make it a very enjoyable tour!
