Had a good experience. The travel was convenient and quick. The guides were very accommodative. Had a trip with two kids.
Dear guest thanks for your feedback, we are glad you had a nice time with us.
Wonderful tour with the best bus driver we have ever had (you will know him if he plays the keyboard and sings) and a wonderful guide. The demos at the windmill, shoe factory, and cheese factory were short but very informative. There was plenty of time for lunch, which isn’t the case on some tours. The bus was also very comfortable and the head phones worked great. About the purchase: I purchased on Viator. However, the tour group that sold the tour simply repackaged a tour from an excellent company called Tours & Tickets Amsterdam. They have a nice office in the train station, are very organized, and have a great operation in general. You can buy online directly from them.
My husband and I had the most wonderful experience! Our tour guide was funny and informative. We were a large group, but she made sure we all enjoyed the experience. We learned so much about the country and how and why it was developed into what it is today. Highly, highly recommend this tour!
