Thumbs up! - We had an amazing day trip today with mesmerizing places despite of a little bit rainfall. Thanks for the wonderful tour guides Esmeralda and Joel for guiding us throughout the tour and especially to the expertise of the driver Steph for keeping us safe and entertained (such a funny guy).

Enjoyable day in North Holland towns - Well organized, enjoyable tour of North Holland towns. Well-prepared tour guide educated us about the areas we visited and also gave us some time to explore on our own. The tour involved a fair amount of walking, but it was a good value and a great way to spend a day.

Overview of the Dutch countryside - The meeting point indicates the back street of the real place (a sign would be desirable).

Beautiful villages of Netherlands - Very nice places, well school, great explanations. The demonstration of how the shoes are made was great and the cheese tasting. Each village was cuter than the last.

Totally worth it - This was a wonderful way to explore Dutch culture and history- we got to go to so many more places in one day than we would have independently and our tour guide was fab. The only part I wouldn’t recommend is the cheese store that is clearly just for busses of tourists- fine to help keep businesses afloat but it wasn’t very good quality information and felt a bit forced. Otherwise an excellent experience!

Very well used and recommended - An excursion very well taken advantage of, at a very good price, and above all, very well illustrated by Fernando (the guide) , who was at all times watching to make the group feel comfortable. My congratulations to the whole team of Chameleon tours

A useful introduction to the smaller towns of the Netherlands - Our tour was informative and the guide provided useful background/history of each town we visited, without finding it necessary to say too much! As they say, sometimes "less is more". It is certainly a good way to see a number of smaller towns if you are limited in time. The only stop we found to be overly touristic and too long, was the last stop at the relocated windmills. I appreciate many travellers like to see these historic structures however 1/2 hour is more than enough time to see them, take a few photos and then escape the crowds.
