Wonderful Family-Friendly Tour – A Day Full of Fun and Discovery! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - We booked the tour to the cheese factory, Volendam, and Zaanse Schans with our two young kids (ages 3 and 6), and it was truly a fantastic day for the whole family! The tour began at the cheese factory, which was surprisingly one of our kids’ favorite stops! The cheese-making demonstration was short, fun, and very engaging — perfect for young attention spans. They loved watching the process and, of course, sampling all the different cheeses (so did we!). The staff were friendly and welcoming, and everything was clean and well-organized. Next, we visited Volendam, a charming fishing village that was both beautiful and family-friendly. The harbor views were stunning, and we enjoyed walking along the waterfront, trying fresh seafood and sweet Dutch treats. There were also plenty of shops and spots to sit and relax with the kids. Our last stop was Zaanse Schans, which felt like stepping into a fairy tale. The windmills, wooden houses, and peaceful setting were breathtaking. The children loved seeing how wooden clogs were made at the clog workshop, and they were fascinated by the inside of a real working windmill. It was both educational and exciting, and there was lots of space for the kids to move around safely. The whole day was very well-paced, with enough breaks and flexibility for families with little ones. Our guide was friendly, informative, and especially kind to the children, answering their questions and keeping them involved. This tour was a perfect mix of culture, fun, and hands-on experiences — ideal for families looking to explore the Dutch countryside in a relaxed and enjoyable way. Highly recommended!

Perfect day trip for a family - This was a perfect day trip for a family! The best part was that this is a PRIVATE tour so no trudging behind a big tour group of grumpy adults and whining children. Our driver/guide was Ferry who was very nice, thoughtful and accommodating. He guided us through the windmill attraction, took us to an authentic milk/cheese farm, and to the quaint fishing village where we shopped and had lunch. I really appreciated the fact that we got to go on our own pace and we allowed our kids to stop and play and admire certain areas for longer if they wished. Highly recommend!

A wonderful experience exploring the Dutch countryside! - We spent about 3 hours on this lovely trip and truly enjoyed every moment. The windmills were a beautiful sight and offered such a peaceful atmosphere. The visit to the cheese factory was both delicious and informative — we highly recommend it! A special thank you to Omar, our driver, who was incredibly friendly and attentive. He went above and beyond by recommending a great local restaurant for dinner after our tour. His kindness and local tips made our experience even more enjoyable. Definitely a memorable part of our journey — highly recommended!

A day at Zaanse Schans and cheese factory - Ferry is a very thoughtful and professional guide / driver. He is dedicated and provided us relevant information throughout the trip. He is also not overly particular about the final duration of the trip and never once rushed us throughout the journey. A very pleasant and went full outing today. Both my wife and I enjoyed ourselves thoroughly

Amsterdam Windmill countryside tour - We were very pleased with our experience of this tour. Because we arranged for a private driver, we were able to explore the areas at our own leisure and complete the tour in a much shorter time than with the tour group. The driver was punctual and very friendly.
