Excellent tour! - Yesterday I had an excellent tour to Zaanse Schans, Edam, Volendam and Marken!!! Henry and Catherine allowed me to enjoy this tour to the fullest. Henry as the bus driver, and Catherine as the guide, providing us with all their knowledge, with clarity and sympathy. ❣️I recommend this walk!!!

JUANMI the best guide - Super recommended excursion with a top 10 guide, thank you JUANMI for making the visit so enjoyable. Everything was well organized, although perhaps they should add a little more time in Marken to take a quiet walk around the island.

Excellent experience - Excellent experience: punctual, pleasant, very receptive guide who told us the story and all the curious facts at all times. I recommend it if you have a few days to get to know Amsterdam and want to take a little more of beautiful Holland.

I would repeat but with more time - The visit was spectacular, the only bad thing was the timing, we ran to all the towns and we barely had time to fully enjoy them, at the cheese tasting we were lucky for about 20 minutes between explanation and tasting... and when we went to see The mills didn't even give us time to get to the last one. In the second we had to turn around because the bus was leaving. Otherwise great Katherine is a good guide.

Lovely visit to Zaanse Schans and windmills - We thoroughly enjoy Zaanse Schans and the windmills. We walked all over the property and went into the lumber mill while in operation. Very interesting to learn so much about the windmills. We walked through Edam, had lunch in Volendam and strolled through Marken. We were quite surprised at how much walking we had signed up for. 22,000 steps each of us! You might want to caution others before they book this tour about the amount of walking. We are elderly, but very mobile so were able to manage. Others might not be so able.

They ruined our day! - These people are disgusting. We were delayed in arriving because we got lost and they were not able to call us to find out if something had happened. They simply left us stranded in a town half an hour from Amsterdam and without giving many explanations, they told me to figure out how to get back to the city. A shame especially because at the beginning of the tour they made us wait for some clients who had not yet arrived, however they did not wait for us. I wonder, was it hard to call or send a message to find out if something had happened to us? I wouldn't repeat it even dead! Also….. the tour is bland and expensive. There is nothing special about it, other than feeling like sheep going to the same tourist sites in each town. Come on…. A failure in all its expression.
