“This was my favorite tour of the trip!!! Steven is the absolute best. He went above and beyond at every moment to make my day special. He was so knowledgable about the history and must see areas of the country. I hope to visit the Netherlands again and hire Steven as my tour guide for the whole week. I loved Gouda it was so charming and getting to go to an actual Dutch milk farm was a great experience. I loved the history and non touristy vibes in Oudewater! The witch museum was so special.”

Review of a private Amsterdam tour to Kinderdijk and Delft, Gouda, Leiden, The Hague, or Rotterdam, with honest tips on comfort and value.
“The guide was very professional and knowledgeable. The guide arrived at the pickup point 15mins before the meet up time and we were able to start early. We picked Gouda as our city of choice for visit and had a heritage tour around the old town. On the way to Gouda, we also dropped by a local cheese factory where we tasted some of the local produce. This is a highly recommended tour if you want to see the local and the heritage.”
Explore Gouda’s Gothic city hall, St. John’s stained glass, cheese heritage, and market square on a private two-hour walking tour.
“I struggle with this review as it had nothing to do with tasting cheese and everything to do with the history of the town of Gouda. First, I signed up for tour to sample and taste the magnificent Gouda cheese… only to discover that the description of the tour had changed since my purchase and the sampling was no longer included, but a separate cost! The two guides that gave us the tour were extremely knowledgeable of the history of Gouda and did an amazing job of relating the information to us! Definitely well worth the tour for the knowledge. I really enjoyed the tour but it wasn’t the tour…”

Almost felt like we were in a tour with an adult grandson!! Has a sly sense of humor and really fun. This tour is so worth it. You cover a lot of ground, so get your walking shoes ready! 5 stars for this one!!”
