Great experience. Would do that again. - We went to Zaanse Schans and Giethoorn for a full day tour. We really enjoyed it. The van picked us at the hotel. The tour guide was really nice and spoke several languages. The both places were amazing. We had lots of activities and also plenty of personal time to see places ourselves. It was a great experience.

Zanse Schans & Geithoorn tour - One of the best tours. Dutch country side windmills was very beautiful. The weather was so pleasant. Leidse our tour guide was one of the most lively & informative person. He managed the day tour very well & we returned back on time. Geithoorn was absolutely beautiful. First time where Instagram & reality matched. It is picture perfect.Both places are very much worth visiting. Tnks a lot. Will recommend it to my travel buddies.

Excellent, above and beyond! - Leidse was wonderful, taking time to get to know each of us in our small group and sharing with us information that we specifically were interested in. The tour took us to beautiful places and Leidse was entertaining and informative. He loves his country and now we do too!

The best tour guy!! - Our tour guide was exceptional from the pick up from the hotel to the final drop off. He provided personal experience where he interactive with every single guess in the group. He insured that we had the best experience by going beyond. He interacted with we us to get our opinion counted. He got us into a smaller boat to give us a private guide to capture the best memories and scenic views. He was very personable with humors and really good insightful history to the villages.

Wonderful tour! - Was a great tour! Small group of only 8 of us. Our guide Leidse was great! He was very informative and kept a good conversation running the whole time with the whole group. Yes - Both zaanse schans and Giethoorn are very commercialized and tourist spots but both were beautiful and worth getting out of Amsterdam to see other parts of the country.

Great tour! - Our guide, Leidse, was the best. He was engaging and fun. Loved seeing the windmills, the cheese making demonstration, and the man making clogs. The canal boat tour in Giethoorn was great also.

Not bad! Good photo opportunities! - Trip was nice, but a little too touristy! The cheese, wooden shoe and diamond “factories” were nothing more than a tourist shop with a brief overview of how each product was made. Not bad, but felt like a tourist trap. Bus was comfortable although was supposed to be a max. of 8, but they combined two tours so there were 18 on board a mini bus. Tour guide was good and everything ran on-time.
