Maaike’s Your guide for windmills - Maaike’s childhood experiences at her grandfather’s windmill where he lived definitely made an impression on her. Those experiences have made her an excellent guide for Zaanse Schans and any part of the Netherlands as she has great pride and an in-depth knowledge of windmills, historical architecture, waterways, and the country in general. She was delightful and very conversational. We enjoyed our tower entire tour from pick up to drop off. The fan she picked us up in on our private tour was comfortable and well-maintained.

Private tour - amazing - We had a good time exploring Zaanse with Ray. She was polite, flexible with our needs and amazing sharing knowledge about the Dutch heritage. A great option for half day trip outside Amsterdam.

It was PERFECT! - The tour and town were FABULOUS! It was like something out of a storybook. Our guide was perfect! He even carried my bag of souvenirs. He went slow and even let us sit down while he explained things (my husband and I have both had recent knee replacements).
I loved the windmills and little bridges and tiny canals! I loved the whole experience!

Must-Do Cultural Experience - We had a wonderful tour with Mubarak. Zaanse Schans is such a unique experience from the busy city of Amsterdam and a piece of culture from the Netherlands. We loved it.
