January 2018 Our guide is superb!! Love the tour   Totally worth the it.

Barbara H October 2017 We had a wonderful day on this tour! After easily negotiating the Central train station and finding our way to the free ferry with hundreds of other commuters, most on bikes!, we are picked up at the designated meeting place right on time. It turned out that we were the only travellers that day, so we had a private tour for the day. Our guide, Roxanne, was terrific. She was very friendly, personable and knowledgeable about all the sights we visited. We never felt rushed nor pressured to visit or buy merchandise in the more touristy areas we visited. Roxanne kept an easy pace for the walking tours and is an experienced and careful driver. We had a wonderful day in the bright sunshine and we were pleased to be away from the hustle and bustle of the city for a few hours. We wanted to see some of the countryside and this tour did just that. Well done Roxanne!     Chantal H October 2017 Very interesting tour. I found Volendam a little too touristy. Small tour much better than large tour. Had fun time. Just enough free time   Rita R October 2017 Great guide. Too bad it rained all day. Loved the maze, would have been nice to had more time for lunch it was rushed. Would recommend it.   XCHrista P October 2017 It was very interesting. Have learned a lot about Windmills. The guide was excellent and very informative. We really enjoy walking through the old villages. The cheese making as well as the clog making was also very interesting. The total tour was excellent and will definitely recommend same.   Kez Australia October 2017 This was an amazing tour and our tour guide Roxanne was fantastic!!. She was a good driver and provided us with just the right amount o f history about Amsterdam and Holland. Her English was really good. It was really good to be taken to some of the small towns surrounding Amsterdam which I would have otherwise never had the chance to see. It was great to sample some local food and have a small drink at the completion of the tour. I would defiantly recommend doing this tour.   Pat P October 2017 Choosing the small van rather than the large bus tour was PERFECT! The entire experience was relaxed, comfortable, and very personal. Our guide, Tom, could not have been more informative or responsive to our requests. Being in a group of 6 rather than 60 is definitely recommended! Climbed to the rooftop of working windmills, touched wooden shoes fresh off of the auger, sampled cheeses, wandered through the most quaint of Dutch villages, and so much more... loved the whole day! Rich and Pat Pozzi from California   Lee H October 2017 It was a fun tour. We saw the countryside which was a welcome change from Amsterdam. We got to see an old lumber cutting factory and a cheese factory. The host at the cheese factory was funny and amusing. Our guide was very good, and I was glad to be on a bus after 2 days of walking around Amsterdam. He explained how windmills worked and some sociological details of the various towns we visited. I enjoyed it more than I expected.     Guido September 2017 It was an amazing tour with our driver/guide Roxanne. It was an intimate small group of 6. Roxanne was very knowledgeable ,vibrant and a good driver. We had enough time on all the places. We enjoyed and learned something cheesemaking/clogg making. Experience Waterland tour is highly recommended. Its nice doing tour without any headsets and just talk directly to your guide.   Guido September 2017 We were anxious at first to see the instruction of the meeting place Café Dupont. But it was not complicated just go to the back of Central station and take the ferry ,a minute ride and meet the group .It was a small group with 6 members. Our tour guide and driver Roxanne was very nice and vivacious. She is knowledgeable of the places we visited. Its so nice with small group because its quite intimate and all questions were answered. We had enough time , learned something regarding cheesemaking / clog making and enjoyed a beer party in Volendam. Experience Waterland is highly recommended.   David M September 2017 It's a great sampler of the countryside - once you get started. If you are used to getting picked up at your hotel for a tour, this tour's starting location could be challenging. If you are staying in Amsterdam, you will need to go to the Central Station and take a ferry across the river. Be mindful that there are two ferries that don't go to the same place. Once on the other side, you just need to wait to be picked up. We had problems using our phones and the cafe was closed so we just had to have faith we were in the right place and would be picked up. The tour itself was fast paced but with a good variety of sights, windmills, cheese, wooden shoes, a fishing village, etc. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable and we enjoyed the tour. If you go to the Netherlands, you should see some of the rest of it outside Amsterdam if you can.   Flo S September 2017 Fantastic! Great tour guide and nice small group.   Bronwyn M September 2017 Wonderful tour! Guide incredibly knowledgeable about the region and world geography. Won my vote, he honeymooned with his Bride in Outback Australia. Explained the areas well, in detail and colour. Went inside the spice and lumber working windmills - could spend the entire day inside on of these operational mills. Viewing logs being sawn utilising the wind is breathtaking. The operators are in credibly inclusive and almost invite you onto the shop floor. Highly recommend this tour. Only minus is the pickup point. Whilst really easy to get to, nothing is open until the pick up time, so if you are early and the weather is horrid, there is nowhere to shelter.     MPETROCELL September 2017 We had a wonderful tour guide Teun and he provided much information during the tour which was very enlightening. He gave us a wonderful experience.   dpm06 September 2017 Tour guide was great: informative regarding history as well as witty and fun. More time at each place is the only thing I would change. You do get a glimpse of How Things Were in the past. It is certainly a tourist thing but still worthwhile.   Elizabeth R September 2017   This was an amazing tour, I love the small group size. It gave us flexibility and the ability to learn much from our knowledgeable Guide. Even though it rained on us a good part of the day, we would do it all over again.
