Estan was like an Uber driver. He had his EarPods in while driving us. He took us exactly what the tour said. No conversation and no telling us what was around. Not what we expected from a La Vacanza Travel tour guide.

We stayed at the Hilton Amsterdam Schiphol Airport which was originally not on the pick up list, but the tour company was kind enough to make an exception by picking us up there. We had a wonderful private tour with our driver, Julio. I am glad we chose the morning trip (9:00 am) as the places we visited were not crowded yet.

We enjoyed particularly the cow farm to see the beautiful cows and taste the cheese. We had had a delightful lunch in Volendam . Our driver was courteous kind and patient as I was traveling with mobility challenged elderly parents

Learning about the windmills, the clogs and the source of the milk in the cheese. Our driver, Gavin was polite and the Mercedes was clean. Gavin was super nice. He returned a shopping bag we left in the car.
