    Our private tour included pickup and drop off service. Our family of 5 were picked up in a nice van from our hotel. Our driver and tour guide, Sam, was very punctual and polite even help us carrying our stuff that we bought during tour. He pointed out and explain point of interests along the way. Each site that we visited provided its own guide (windmills and cheese factory) Sam was never rushing us. He made sure we had enough time to enjoy the trip. At the end of the tour, he gave us a ride through the Red Light District as a bonus! Definitely recommended.

    Had a great time - Sam was very personable and showed us a windmill, cheese store and dairy - we saw the sophisticated equipment and also learnt a lot

    We enjoyed this tour on October 2, 2022. Sam was our driver. He was terrific: knowledgeable, patient and kind. The van was very comfortable. Highly recommended.

    This tour was so well organized but so much fun. It was pouring rain but luckily everything was planned perfectly that we didn’t feel uncomfortable. Majority indoors, but very interactive and didn’t feel rushed! Best part of our entire trip!!! 10000000% recommend!!!

    Our guide, Sam, was so patient at every stop. Our visit to a working windmill ( a sawmill) was a highlight. Watching a clog being formed from a block of wood was fascinating. Our visit to the cheese making farm included an introduction to a modern barn. The cows choose when they are ready to be milked and set themselves up in the stall ready for the milking machine to collect their milk. Because our group of 6 took extended stays at each of our stops, our tour of Volendam was cut a little short since we chose to take the ferry to Marken. Each member of our group thoroughly enjoyed our day away from the hustle and bustle of Amsterdam. Sam could not have done more. We had an excellent day.

    Our driver, Sam, was FANTASTIC! He was friendly, knowledgeable, attentive, and extremely accommodating. We booked this excursion near midnight the day before and we were beyond ecstatic with all we saw at Zaanse Schans, driving through the countryside, the cheese factory, lunch at Hotel Spaander. Highly recommend this tour and Sam!

    Our guide was a real gentleman. He was knowledgeable about the area. He did not rush us. Nice vehicle. I want to find more guides like him.

    My family (me, wife, 22 yo daughter, 20 yo daughter, 5 yo daughter) enjoyed this tour immensely. I knew the stops ran the risk of being a little cheesy, but I wanted to take a day out of our week in Amsterdam to get out of the city and see some "traditional" Dutch sights, especially for my five year old. Well, our guide Sam made this one of our favorite days in the Netherlands. His warmth, local knowledge, and enthusiasm made it feel more like we were hanging out with a good family friend who happened to be Dutch. The itinerary was actually perfect for getting a fun overview of the windmills and clog-making of Zaanse Schans, cheesemaking of a local farm, stop along the dike, and wonderful lunch of smoked eel. But the real star of the day was Sam himself, who was just wonderful. Ten stars out of five.

    The day was perfect! Our driver Sam helped us plan a day that was just right for our interests and abilities. I am handicapped and Sam was kind and compassionate. The windmills were so lovely and we learned a lot about many things that day. I will never forget it. Thank you.

    Our driver was extremely friendly and informative. He added a lot to the tour since he explained some historic facts and personalized facts about where we were going.
