Great countryside tour while in Amsterdam - This tour was a nice overview of the country, understanding the waterways, tulip farming and an inside view of windmills and local villages. This was so much better than other typical tourist trap offerings and is highly recommended. The father and daughter team from Friesland provided an inside personal view of the region, history and created a wonderful experience for the small group. This tour was hands down far superior and authentic compared to other tours. A great day trip from Amsterdam and well worth exploring the gem of Friesland!
