    The cheese tour was good. The cheese tasting was good and we ended up getting a couple to bring back home. Great tasting.

    Nicely run. The tours are free when you get there but it’s nice to have it all arranged for you with transportation.

    A lovely day out and a terrific guide. Houses, history, shops, demonstrations and of course windmills were all great.

    Excellent tour with wonderful guide and driver. Very informative, and gave lots of good information without being too chatty.

    Derek our tour guide. He was very consciousness about the details. It was nice to have free time to explore on our own. The cheese demonstration was hard to hear and we didn't get to taste any cheese due to the large crowd. The clogs and windmills were interesting.

    Beautiful tour, we had a lot of fun !! For a very short tour is excellent you take advantage of the morning. We really recommended

    I enjoyed the demonstration of making the Dutch shoes and the explanation of the past challenges prior to machinery. The making of cheese demonstration was very interesting. The demonstrator was very good!! Explained the eco-system used from farm to table regarding the process of cheese. Will recommend to friends

    Quick and easy way to see Zaanse Schans. We took the 3.5 hour tour based on a restricted timeline. But would recommend the longer tour if you have time. I would have annoyed going farther north if we had the time. Overall, they made it very easy to get in and out and it’s definitely worth seeing while in Amsterdam.

    Really enjoyed the trip. The guide knew a lot about Dutch history which made it super interesting. I went with a friend and also got a discount with points which made the trip even better

    The tour was great, short and to the point. The guide was great - funny, knowledgeable and entertaining. The cheese and shoe making farmers were nice and funny as well. Do recommend!
