We had a lovely time. Hassan was a good driver and great at helping us get to everything we wanted to do. By far the best at to see these popular attractions.

Very pleasant day with accommodating guide Singh. The history of the windmills was fantastic. Pace was perfect and allowed us to enjoy visiting a wooden shoe and a cheese making facility. Easy walking. Nice lunch on our own and ended up with a relaxing boat ride in the canals of the “Venice of Netherlands” . Well worth a visit.

Great private tour for 4 people. In august suggest going earlier because there was a lot of boat traffic on the canal but really pleasant day. From our hotel it was about an hour drive (in a nice Mercedes’ van) and an hour to get to Geithomme but worth the drive. Driver, Marteen, was very nice and accommodating.

Can only think about the fact that our tour guide scammed us. Told us we had to pay for windmill tour $10. That was supposed to be included. Then requested more money because we went over on the time. It was a full day tour. Spent most of the time on the road. We had no choice but to pay him when he took us back to our hotel. Want to make sure this guy gets fired so he doesn’t scam any more people. We gave him $200 and got no receipt. BK-851083274 on July 29, 2022.

Gillio was our driver/guide for the day! He was prompt at pick up and great at communication throughout our private tour day. He provided some information in a nice black folder of the places we were going to visit to give us some background on the areas we were visiting and also help us decide what we wanted to see in the short time we had. Great service all around 5+ stars!!
