Great day. - We did a tour through Get Your Guide called: Amsterdam: Zaanse Schans, Edam, Volendam & Marken Bus Tour
It was a packed bus but it went very well. Stopped in all the places mentioned. Got to sample Gouda cheese in about 25 different flavors. Saw how the wooden shoe was made. Saw the old fashioned working windmills. Got to eat lunch on the water in a beachfront town. Great day.
My only complaint about this tour was the location of pick up and drop off. The "Aloha" Bowling Alley. It was a nightmare trying to get a ride back to the hotel from there. Uber was terrible. Kept getting a driver who would end up canceling. We ended up walking to the train station and getting a cab from there who charged us twice the amount as the cab driver who brought us there in the morning.
