Leidse was amazing! He did so much more than drive us around, he explained so many great facts about the Netherlands. Highly recommend requesting for Leidse to truly enjoy a day of windmills, cheese, and a relaxing boat ride.

Our guide Reinier was really friendly and interesting, taking time to make sure all the group were able to engage in the trip and make the most of their day. The stops were interesting and in particular we enjoyed Giethoorn, both the main stops were busy but Reinier made sure to get us their ahead of the crowds which was well planned and made for a more enjoyable trip. A long day, nearly 10 hours, but well worth it and would highly recommend.

Our tour with Leidse was very sweet. He was so thoughtful, informative about the culture and history of his heritage. He took couples photos which we loved. It was a 10 hr tour and well worth it. He had Dutch licorice and cookies on the bus while he drove us all around. The boat and canals was my favorite with the beautiful and manicured gardens.

This was an amazing trip. Our tour guide was Leidse and he was fabulous. He was in contact with us the day before to confirm pickup place and time. He also contacted us in the morning and it made it very easy to connect with him. He was knowledgeable and funny and attentive to everyone on the tour. He made sure we had an excellent experience. We would highly recommend this tour and ask for Leidse because he goes above and beyond.

This tour was a really great, jam-packed day out seeing some beautiful Dutch sites beyond Amsterdam! Leidse was a knowledgeable, kind, and friendly tour guide, driver, and sailor 😄 readily offering to take photos and answer any and all questions the group had which is greatly appreciated. We even had a surprise stop at a tulip field on the way back to Amsterdam (after a few not so subtle hints from the group 😅) which was the cherry on top of a lovely day. Thank you!
