The places we visited wereZaanas Schans and Geithoorn. We enjoyed the Windmills and wooden shoe demonstration. The boat ride throughout Geithoorn was breathtaking. Reinier our guide was so knowledgeable and so attended to our needs. We will definitely recommend him to our friends.

Best your in Amsterdam! Giethoorn was like a fairytale with cute little thatched roof houses and waterways/canals. It’s definitely the Venice of the Netherlands. The boat ride was both peaceful and relaxing. Zaanse Schans was fabulous! There are windmills ( our tour guide explained all the different ones, such as saw mill, oil etc), cheese tasting and demonstration. You can try and buy cheeses you like. There is a diamond demonstration at Royal diamonds ( they have done beautiful jewelry) and danish clog making demonstration/shoe store. You can try on all kinds of clogs before you buy them. Our tour guide Kai was fabulous. He was the best your guide we had on our tours in Amsterdam. He was both personable, down to earth and humerous. We had an adequate amount of time in each area. We stopped to see huge tulip fields on our way home. While in Giethoorn you have a good hour at least to eat lunch and there are many restaurants to choose from. Overall this tour is the best and will not disappoint. If you are lucky enough to get Kai, he is the best tour guide and the coolest.

Our multitasking guide was one of the best tour guides I have had. A very lively & knowledgeable tour guide who kept everybody entertained with his mesmerizing detailed descriptions of all the three places he showed us. Those places (Zaanse Schans & Giethoorn) were majestic! Highly recommended for his excellent tour guide who went above & beyond as a guide to us. Thank you so much, Leidse for creating a memorable tour experience!!!

Our first day in Amsterdam was a total washout. It was wet and bleak and windy, and we came back from our canal cruise, totally drenched. The next day seemed no better, weatherwise, until Leidse, our tour guide, showed up. Leidse is one of those rare individuals who, when they walk into a room, light it up with their presence. He’s funny and intelligent and articulate, and he kept us entertained throughout the day with his lively commentary. Add to that his uncanny ability to read the unpredictable Dutch weather; though it kept raining through the day, we never once got caught in it. The other great thing about Leidse is that he knows exactly when to step in with a recommendation (and they were always spot on), and when to step out so you are free to do your own thing. We loved his vibe just as we loved the vibe of the Netherlands. We can’t recommend him strongly enough!
