  • Volendam - Volendam is a Dutch fishermans village on the Markermeer Lake, northeast of Amsterdam. It’s known for its colorful wooden houses and the old fishing boats in its harbor, which is lined with seafood vendors. If preferred you can also have lunch in this beautiful village.

Not what we expected - The driver got us to the destinations . He was a driver but not a tour guide. We thought he would give us history and information but he only drove us around. He was a very nice guy, but we thought we were also getting a tour guide.

Horrific - This is not a “tour”. This is a private car/driver. This driver had some kind of sores all over his hands and a sore on his head that he picked the entire time he drove us around… lovely! Also, admission to the specialty windmills, museum, bathrooms, etc is not included. The main entrance to the windmills, clog factory and cheese factory is free to everyone, so this description is misleading. The driver did not appreciate having to turn on his AC in his vehicle. This “tour” was absolutely useless. When booking a “private tour” I would have assumed the driver would have been able to tell us about the countryside, the towns, the history, etc. 100% just book through a hotel or a different service. Total waste of money.
