“A very entertaining tour with Rob and Petra, despite the grey and initially wet weather the tour was very enjoyable. Rob provided excellent information about the country and the places of interest. I certainly learned a few things from the tour and the background to the Dutch way of life. Highly recommend this tour, to see a little of the Dutch countryside and local sights. The cheese farm was a informative and tasty stop.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 3 reviews · 8 hours · from $1,001

Review of a private Amsterdam day trip to Zaanse Schans, Volendam and Marken, with windmills, Dutch culture, transport and guide tips.

“This was the perfect start to our Amsterdam trip. Karel was so knowledgeable about Dutch culture and history and was sure that we saw and experienced the true Dutch experience. We drove through small villages learned about the history of the boulders how and why they were created, of course cheese and working Windmills. I couldn’t recommend this tour, and in particular Karel more.”
