Our family had a great time experiencing the Amsterdam countryside with our driver and guide Ertuğ. He was knowledgable and took the time to understand our family’s interests before suggesting the things that he thought we might enjoy most. We got a chance to go to the cheese and clog factory early before the crowds and also see a cool old windmill that was less touristy. He also had some great suggestions on local restaurants that he thought we would enjoy. I would definitely recommend taking the time to do this tour. It was a great way to get out of the city and see a bit more of the Dutch countryside.
Driver Zia was Awesome! Waited for us on the cruise port even when there was a long delay, Took us out to the Tulip Gardens and The Delft Museum, Took us around the city and drop us in our Hotel. Our whole experience during this whole trip with this company was very positive with both our drivers Mr Zia anad Mr Ertug.
Ertug was an Awesome Driver/Tour guide for us, He showed us everything we would not have seen in a regular Tour. He took us of the beaten path you could say and showed us what we wanted and we learned things great things about Amsterdam! We had a great tour! I would book a tour with him again in a heartbeat!
Beautiful countryside with excellent tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and informative. We thoroughly enjoyed the day.
Wonderful guide who tailored our accessible issues to see windmills, cheese and clog making to our needs. Also gave us suggestionson upcoming cities
Zia was excellent , booked this last minute . Couldn't have been happier with our tour!!! I would highly recommend !
Thank you very much for your review. We are glad that you enjoyed your tour and hopefully see you again next time.
Zaanse Schans windmills and the countryside tour was a memorable experience for us, a family of 4. We had Salih for our driver, and he was great! He accommodated changes we made in our tour. He was very patient with us, so there’s no feeling of being rushed. He pointed to places of interests, and answered our questions very well. Our family felt very comfortable and at ease with Salih. We enlisted his service again for another tour. This time it was at Bruges, Belgium, and at The Hague. Salih made sure we saw iconic places at The Hague, like the Parliament building, the King’s palace, etc. Overall, Salih went above and beyond what was expected of him. We highly recommend any of the tours their tour company offers, and ask for Salih.
Hello RUBYMARIE_D, Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad that you enjoyed your sightseeing tours with your driver Salih and we hope to serve you again on your next visit to Amsterdam. Thank you.
Awesome, fantastic tour! Really can’t find enough words to describe the great experience we had. We were taken to beautiful, less crowded places that was beyond our expectations. We visited picture-perfect little cities and had a fabulous time at a windmill farm. I absolutely, highly recommend the service. The driver was fantastic, pleasant, great conversation and we learned a lot! Don’t skip a private tour, is the best way to have a real feel of a place.
Ruben_s, Thank you very much for the 5 stars. We are glad that you had a great time with us and hopefully serve you again next time.
A family of 5 from NJ visited Amsterdam for the first time. A comfortable MB van picked us up at the hotel on time and took us to 3-4 beautiful places which were about 30 - 60 min away from Amsterdam. We enjoyed the scenery, local food, local culture, etc. The driver dropped us off back at the hotel on time. We had a great 4 hour trip outside Amsterdam. Highly recommended!
Thank you very much for this great review. We are glad that you enjoyed your tour and hopefully see you again next time.
