Loved the information provided and the trip to the cheese shoppe and wooden shoe. All arrangements were handled professionally and courteously. My favorite was the trip To Geithorn. Fabulous!!! The boat ride was lovely and they did all that was possible To make us comfortable.

Giethoorn is amazing. The drive was smooth, the car large and comfortable. My niece was visiting me in Amsterdam, I had been there for about 2 months for work and I decided to take this private tour, even though I had been to Zaanse Schans on one of the big bus tours. This is an excellent way to see both Giethoorn and Zaanse Schans. Having more time is nice, and being able to linger or go early beats the bus tour in many ways. The driver/guide was great company and I got to see a lot of things in Zaanse Schans that the big bus tour missed. I think unless you are able to drive yourself, this is the best way to see both places. The Giethoorn boat tour was great also, not so busy when we were there, Covid and all. We were the only ones on the boat. Great experience overall.
