Xavier was a wonderful guide. Very knowledgeable in a friendly and helpful way. It’s a little rushed but having lunch in Volendam and seeing Edam and Marken was great.

Really enjoyed this trip. We went on the earliest trip and our guide, Ilya, was excellent. He was personable, knowledgeable about all things Netherlands and extremely organised. Each of the stops had lots to offer and it’s a trip I’d definitely recommend.

We did the day trip today. The weather wasn’t great and we did have rain but it worked out ok. You are definitely shunted through each destination. And there are bus loads at each place. One lot goes into hear about cheese then they are out a door and another group is in. There was time to shop at places and free time for lunch. It suited us as we wanted to sit and relax. The tour guide Rob was great and very knowledgeable and he kept a tight ship with times and organisation which we liked. They do leave promptly so arrive on time just before 8am
