Private Tour with Elias - When Elias picked us up at the hotel, I realized the I had not booked Keukenhof as part of the tour. Elias quickly changed the itinerary to include the garden. It truly is the best spring garden we have ever seen. The tulips were stunning. After the garden we went Zaanse Schans to see how clogs are made and visit the many windmills there. In Volendam we visited the Henri Willig Cheese farm and had a delicious lunch at Pavijoen Smit Bokkum. Elias was a true delight! He is very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. We hope to book future tours with him and highly recommend Elias to anyone looking for a first-class experience.

Windmills, Cheese and Piers… Oh my! - Very good tour, we extended an hour. I probably would have looked inside all windmills if we had more time but got to see in one and also see how the shoes were made. We were happy to see the dairy farm and taste the cheese. The little city by the pier ‘Volendam’ was quaint and we enjoyed a lunch outside on such a beautiful day. Thanks for a wonderful day!!!

Great overall experience - Younes was a very friendly and conversational driver who was also knowledgeable about the places we toured. We were picked up from our hotel in a very nice, clean car and he was a very safe driver. He made sure to make the most efficient use of our time we had with him that day, and we were able to see and do a lot as he navigated the crowds very well for us. It was a very memorable part of our trip!

Wonderful - We spent a perfect amount of time in the Belgium countryside. The cheese was excellent and the story about and watching the wooden shoe being made was wonderful. Of course, seeing the windmills was nice also. Our tour guide gave us good information as well as let us have some time on our own.

not a tour - just a driver. - Though the driver was punctual and the car was quite nice, the title is misleading. We never got a tour. We got a chauffeur, who barely spoke any English (though it was dubbed as an English tour). He merely drove us from place to place and then had us walk around on our own and check out the sites. There was zero communication or description or discussion of any sort about any of the places that we went, though they were all beautiful.
