Great day and visited some wonderful locations. Lara the guide was excellent. Timings for the day were perfect with ample time at each stop to not feel rushed and allow you to see all you needed. Learnt a lot about each location but also about the history and living in the Netherlands and Amsterdam. Highly recommend the trip.

This was a great experience! Got to see 3 very cool places in a day and got a lot of information from our tour guide Thomas.

The trip started promptly at 9:00 am and our Tour Guide Amanda was missing some enthusiasm, she was a bit monotone for our liking but nonetheless we were excited to start our day. She reminded us about being on time on various occasions which was fine but in Maarken she gave us wrong information. She told us that there was a house that now was a museum and that it was free of charge but it wasn’t even open that day & she also told us of a place we could go to restroom which wasn’t open either. There were 6 people in my group and we arrived 6 minutes late and she proceeded to reprimand us and when we made our second stop made sure to reference that fact that we had been late before. Quite frankly it was unnecessary & a bit embarrassing. Aside from that we made it work and ended having a great day.

Didn’t find the tour very enjoyable. It was a long day with too much time in place with little to see or do. Could have been condensed into 4 hours easily.

I really enjoyed this tour. It was an excellent option for visiting the Countryside and these areas in only one day. The tour was in Spanish so it was excellent for my kids and it is not a long tour as others and it was during a day with an incredible snow storm, so we really appreciate the tour took place and it was amazing to watch the snow in the countryside.

It was a good experience to visit different places within a day. Our tour guide was very friendly and provided a lot of information in each attraction points, we all have had a better understanding about the history and culture of Netherland. Price was reasonable. Just the weather was too cold on that day, would be even better to visit in Summer time.

A wonderful day trip with Carli as our tour guide. She was fantastic giving us as insight into each place. She made it engaging with her stories and sense of humour.
