Fantastic Day Trip to explore Zaanse Schans, Afsluitidijk and Giethoorn! - We visited Amsterdam for our first time in April and booked this tour with K7 Travel. We received prompt communication of our hotel pick up time the day before our tour with the name of our guide/driver with the vehicle description and license plate number. Simon was our assigned guide and driver for our tour. We enjoyed listening to his thorough explanation of the Dutch regions, way of life and how the importance of dams played throughout the history in the Netherlands. As a note, we were visiting at a very a crowded time of the year but he seemed to know how to navigate us efficiently at Zaanse Schans, avoiding the crowds. We also chose to pay extra to rent our own boat in Giethoorn. It was a blast tooting along the lovely canals lined with picturesque houses. In summary, Simon was an excellent, engaging and humorous guide. He was also very conscientious, patient, easy going and courteous throughout the whole tour and was very accommodating to everyone in our group. If we could have stayed longer, we wouldn’t have hesitated to book another tour with K7 Travel and requested Simon as our guide.

Excellent experience - Our tour guide Kai was very knowledgeable and provided a lot of information. He was very flexible and accommodating, and gave us a lot of time to walk around and explore the areas. He also gave us option to attend or not to attend diamond demonstration tour. He was also very helpful and even offered to handle our bags (souvenir we bought ) and took them back to the van so we don’t have to carry them while walking around. He also offered to take our photos. We really enjoyed our day, thanks to Kai. I strongly recommend this tour.

April 2025 review - We had an excellent time seeing the sights outside of the city. Our guide, Renier, did an excellent job making sure the group didn't wait at attractions and was clear about when to meet back up. Renier had a great sense of humor and really worked to engage all the members of the tour. This was our first time ever doing an organized tour and we will surely do it again. 5 our of 5 starsg

Wonderful experience ! - First we had a beautiful day with a very good guide Pete. He was very professional and knew how to beat the big crowds. We were 7 in a Mercedes van. We enjoyed the scenery lots and were able to have a very interesting interaction with him. He exhorted us to ask him anything we wanted to know. The windmill little town was adorable 🥰 the cheese experience and tasting was delicious 😋 (the cheese and truffles spread was delicious and a little Jar is coming back home with us lol). The clog presentation was too. The dike was very impressive with the modern windmills and the fresh water lake We also enjoyed our last experience by walking the canal town and then experiencing it via a boat driven by our own guide It was a wonderful experience

A little time spent in the country! - Leidse made this trip amazing! He gave narratives at each stop and in between. He even allowed for a little snooze on the way back. Leidse gave us samples of the famous licorice and stroopwaffle which I hadn’t had yet in my days in Holland. He carried our purchases to the car and just was a delight. The sights were great and as expected, full of tourists.
