Bianca is the best!

We took a private tour from Amsterdam to Zaanse Schans in early May. Our guide, Bianca, truly made our tour. She was so friendly, funny and informative. We visited the Zaanse Schans with my husband's elderly parents and she fully customized the tour to their pace and interests. She knows everyone at all the little stores and museums which made the visit feel extra personal. We truly felt like VIP's as she navigated us through the busy area and made it feel like a very authentic experience. Thanks again, Bianca!

Hans was on time, safe drive to the area and a very interesting tour. The pace was good for us, he made sure my husband was able to keep up. The talk was informative. Saw all the sights we wanted to see. Very useful to be able to skip some of the lines as we were with a guide. Would recommend.

Ray was a great guide. Picked us up from our hotel on time and provided a great tour of the village and windmills. Loved learning about the local culture, seeing the wooden shoes made, learning about how cheese was made, tasting the cheese, touring inside a working windmill, and tasting the local chocolate. Had a great time and drop off back at the hotel after was great. Would definitely recommend to others.
