Karel was great! He was at the cruise port waiting for us upon arrival and was very accommodating with the luggage and hotel drop off. He was very knowledgeable about the sites we visited and provided a wonderful tour of the countryside outside of Amsterdam. We really appreciated his time and patience with us, and would defiantly book another tour with him should we return to Holland.

Guide was top notch. Provided my wife and me with true insight of the areas visited and the Netherlands in general. Would book again, especially with the guide we had.

Very impressive tour with our guide Robert. This tour is a must-do for anyone visiting Amsterdam. Especially for families it is a great experience. Our guide Robert was very accommodating and easy to talk with. He is truly one of the best guides we ever did a tour with. With this tour Robert also takes you to a cheese farm, clog maker and inside of a windmill. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! Thank you Robert!

Robert, our guide was on time, well organized, and was answering all my questions about Amsterdam and Holland, all day. The area of Zaanse was a don't miss part of a trip to Holland and Volendam was a quaint stop for shopping and lunch. Great tour and it was personalized for as much time needed for shopping or just exploring. I would suggest going this tour if you don't want to be stuck with someone else's timeline.
