    We were picked up at our hotel on the time indicated. The tour operator was wonderful. Lunch was great, loved the windmills, the cheese factory and seeing all of the cows that make the milk for the cheese. Would highly recommend

    Was a great day tour with David, our guide. We made three major stops, along with a working dairy farm tour, cheese tasting, clog making workshop and lunch at a cute little restaurant close to the water. Would highly recommend this tour, and David!

    Esther was an amazing tour guide. She knew all the right spots for us. Fantastic lunch spot, my husband even tried the famous smoked eel. It was our favorite day in Amsterdam traveling the countryside, small villages and windmills. Esther’s stories were filled with knowledge, details and a personal aspect that is very important.

    Excellent time on this private trip with Callum. He understood everything about the tour and a very fun person. Thanks to the tour for a great lunch+drinks. We also did a photo session in Volendam (believe me it took less than 10minutes) together with Callum. An unforgettable experience!!!
