Half day tour to Zaans Schan - Very enjoyable half day tour with Ray.
Friendly, knowledgeable local guide. Booking and pick up was easy, Zaans is worth a visit in a small group with more of a personal approach. There is enough time to explore and experience a little of the beautiful countryside/culture before returning to Amsterdam. Worthwhile and good value.

Good trip to Zaanse Schans - Great experience and a great tour. Our guide was local and she gave some great insights into the area. We were picked up at our hotel and offered a ride to Amsterdam after the tour, if we wished. Highly recommend the tour.

The tour itself with... - The tour itself with Kenny was very good, however be careful regarding your tickets as ours was arranged with a Hotel pick up and confirmed with this stated on the tickets, but this did not happen.
