A memorable day. we booked this tour as a group of 8 and visited the Zansee Schans, Giethoorn and passed through the Dyke. Kai, our tour guide was very nice and must say it was perfect too, very attentive in planning and he went into details as to ensure we take the most from the experience. We highly suggest this company and especially Kai. We really enjoyed it.
