    Such a great tour through the beautiful Windmills in Zaanse Schans. We were met at airport and then went to Zaanse Schans. These windmills are a must see! Beautiful area. We climbed to the top of the windmill and took in the beautiful views that surround the area. Charming village with cheese shops and traditional clog shops that provide a demonstration on how they shoes are made. Our driver and guide Callum was wonderful! Thank you so much for a great morning in Zaanse Schans.

    Flexible schedule made sure we saw everything we were expecting even offering to go out of the way when one activity was incidentally close to do an alternate.

    Knowing my hotel room would not be ready in the AM, this was the perfect option. It was a private tour with a UK guide. The private tour meant I didn’t have to worry about our personal items being left in the van. The meet up point was easy to find, quick drive out to Zaanse Schans where we spent around 3 hours wandering the small town. We saw the windmills and got to climb up to the top, we watched how wooden shoes are made, watched a cheese making demonstration with lots of samples to try and bit of shopping. This was a great tour to start off our trip. Plus, it kept us going after our overnight flight. Our driver dropped us off at our hotel around 1. Highly recommend this option for an early morning arrival.

    Our tour guide met us at the Amsterdam airport after our overnight plane ride from the US. The tour was 3 hrs long. We got to walk the Zaandam grounds with a knowledgeable person about all aspects of the site and allot of history about The Netherlands. Our tour ended with a drop off at our hotel in the city. We were very happy with this private tour.

    The operator of the tour delivered EXACTLY what they promised. Our planes were a few minutes late, but we had provided the flight info coming from international and they knew and were ready for us. We were taking in a nice van directly to Zaanse Schans. Our guide Ingrid who lives in the village was a delight. I got to go inside more than one windmill , tried a wonderful lavender cheese, 100 dark chocolate and bought two of the best truffles ever and see a postcard beautiful place. I'm not sure if Ingrid is always the local guide, but I have nothing to say nice about both our driver and our guide. It was cool to be swept from the airport, spending an amazing few hours, and then to be dropped off at your hotel. I would say it was perfect and a good value.

    The tour was brilliant. Our guide gave us lots of information, plenty of photo opportunities and being picked up from the airport meant that the trip was convenient. Highly recommended.
