    Our guide [Kay] was excellent and very well informed. It was very good to have a guide who knows the area so well. I would not have wanted less time with our guide but it would have been better if the trip was a bit longer and we had some free time at the end.

    What a wonderful tour! We thoroughly enjoyed it and excellent value for money. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and also had a great sense of humour. We will be telling everyone this is a ‘must do’ if they go to Amsterdam.

    Trip couldn't have been easier or more enjoyable. Everything went well with a great tour guide (the Mayor of the little village) with lots of info, stories and real passion. The clogs factory was interesting, the cheese story was a but rushed, keen to get people into the gift shops. Inside the genuine working windmil was very unique and a clear highlight. Really good value, would do it again happily.
