        Bad experience
        Good Morning I was very disappointed that my trip was canceled the day before, still waiting for refund. Thr short notice meant I couldn't look at other options in time.

        Excellent guide Kai
        My appetizer course to the Netherlands. Got a sense of the country. Right Terran and The Hague. Tour guide was informative, fun and an excellent driver. Thanks to Kai for a wonderful day.

        Great tour! Small group which I prefer.
        Just returned from an incredible day trip to Giethoorn and Zaanse Schans, all thanks to our fantastic tour guide, Reinier! He was not only knowledgeable about the history and culture of the areas we visited, but also super friendly and engaging throughout the entire day. His passion for sharing these beautiful places made the experience even more special. I would absolutely do this trip again, and I highly recommend Reinier to anyone looking for a memorable tour!

        This was everything I’d hoped for and more. Renier did a fabulous job and gave us more information than I’d expected. I’m so happy with this trip!

        2 outa 3 ain’t bad
        Suggestions : Rotterdam- Eliminate or include interesting stops. Delft- add more time in old town area. Hague- include inside tour of Museum or govt. building or beach area. Tour guide was helpful

        You are at risk of cancellation
        These guys cancelled the tour a day before I was supposed to take it because min heads needed weren’t there. For international passengers coming in - this is a bad start. We had to switch to a different tour.

        Beware the small group tours
        Impossible to review as the day before the scheduled tour we were cancelled due to not enough people signed up. Heck, it’s a small group, how large do they want the group to be before holding the tour. Now we are scrambling to fill a hole in our holiday schedule…

        Very nice day trip to three great spots!
        Very nice day trip to Rotterdam, Delft, and The Hague. Loved seeing the yellow houses in Rotterdam and Delft especially. Our guide, Pete, was very good! Only suggestion would be that it would be nice to rotate seats in the minivan, like they do on guided tour buses, so the same people are not always stuck in the back with limited visibility! And for the guide to be careful of making derogative jokes and remarks against those from certain countries, which is very hurtful to those with family from that country!!

        Just as advertised!
        We had a great time on the tour; we had a full mini bus (18 people) given it was tulip season. The bus was comfortable and Koen, our guide+driver was very accommodating.

        Long but nice tour. We had a trip to the model village and a boat tour. We had to do it as it is our 4th time in Amsterdam and we have seen all the other ones.

        A must do in Netherlands 🇳🇱
        If you ever visit Amsterdam, this is definitely a trip that you should make. Netherlands is so much more than its capital, and our tour guide was careful to remind us of it. The trip takes almost a full day, but you have enough time to sightseeing the 3 cities and the most iconic places. The tour guide knows a lot of history, so he can answer almost any question. Definitely recommend this trip

      A memorable day. we booked this tour as a group of 8 and visited the Zansee Schans, Giethoorn and passed through the Dyke. Kai, our tour guide was very nice and must say it was perfect too, very attentive in planning and he went into details as to ensure we take the most from the experience. We highly suggest this company and especially Kai. We really enjoyed it.

      The trip was just smooth and perfect. Our tour guide Koen gave a good explanation and was very flexible with the timing. He even picks us at the hotel within the range provided FOC which is a great deal but also could pick us anywhere with extra cost.
      I highly recommend this trip to anyone who comes here to Holland !

      Fabulous day tour from central Amsterdam. Well organized and enjoyed the direct hotel pick up and drop off. Transport was very comfortable and Koen the guide informative without being overbearing.

      Weather was a bit dull but this didn’t take from the experience, lovely to experience a bit of Netherlands culture with the cheese and clog making tours, staff a tad pushy in the diamond shop. Giethoorn is a beautiful spot, can imagine it gets pretty busy at times…

      Hope to use this tour operator again in the future, thanks for a great day!

      Myself and 3 others booked this tour months in advance. The night before the tour, we received notice that the minimum registrations hadn't been met and the excursion was cancelled. This left us with a void in our vacation and no time to pivot to see these sights. VERY DISAPPOINTED !!!

      The whole trip was five people and I had a great day. My guide Leidse is a passionate Dutch man, fluent in both English and Chinese. He gave us a detailed description of each attraction and took our pictures. Sheephorn Village and Windmill Village are very beautiful, hope to come back again next time

      Koen was very friendly and extremely accommodating and gave a good tour.
      Unfortunately because it was a Sunday many things were closed so after the boat ride there was nothing for us to do in Geithoorn
      Also it was raining and it was an open boat.

      Giethoorn is perfect (10/10), Zaanse Schans is OK (8/10). Cheese at Zaanse Schans factory is actually more expensive than at supermarket. Afsluitdijk is good (4/10)
