Hi Teressa, Thank you so much for your wonderful review and for sharing those beautiful photos! 🌟 I’m really glad to hear you enjoyed the tour and that everything met your expectations. It was a pleasure guiding you, and I truly appreciate your kind words and recommendation. I’d be more than happy to welcome you again if you return — it would be great to show you even more! 🙏✨ Warm regards, Faruk
We turned this tour into a visit to Kuekenhoff flower gardens as well. We found Zaanse Schans too touristy for us and that part of our day was not worth it. In fact I’d skip it all together. The second part of our trip to Kuekenhoff was great (limited to the spring only). Our driver Faruk was amazing. Friendly. Went out of his way to make sure our day was great.
