Our tour guide Reinier was amazing! Went above and beyond and made the whole experience really fun. Really knows his stuff too, we learnt a lot about Amsterdam and the Netherlands on this trip. I highly recommend to book the tour for anyone visiting Amsterdam! He even gave us a list of the best places to eat!! Thank you Reinier!
We had an amazing day in the Netherlands with Leidse! He was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, and his consideration for the group made the trip so relaxing. The itinerary was perfectly planned. Highly recommend!
ABSOLUTELY amazing tour! We loved every minute of this very organized itinerary. Leidse went above and beyond! He really made the trip for us! Highly highly recommend!’
This was a great trip with our amazing guide Lighton. The other guest’s in the van very kind and nice as well. I would highly recommend this tour.
The best tour guide Leidse was very kind and smart! We learned a lot, had a lot of fun, made memories which we will remember forever. Thank you so much for being very understanding about morning and for waffles too! We enjoyed so much!!
Wonderful trip out of the city to see the beautiful sites, windmills, taste cheese. Our whole family thought it was a 10!
Great experience and great value for money! Highly recommend this small group tour as it’s much more comfortable. It was easy and fast loading on/off at each stop and easier to communicate with guide. Our tour guide Erik was outstanding. He was hardworking, prompt and efficient, eg…already waiting for us at meeting point before appointed time. His informative and entertaining narrations kept us amused and engaged through out the whole 9 hour trip. All instructions, options and helpful hints were clearly provided so we’re confident we won’t get lost or left behind. It was not rushed and we had plenty of time to explore each spot. The one hour boat cruise was magical on this beautiful sunny day. We’ve taken a lot of tours in many different countries and have to say Erik is in our top 5% of best tour guides. I recommend this tour for anyone who wants an easier, less crowded and more personalized experience. P.S. booking through the Klook app was easy peasy.
We had an amazing day tour to Zaanse Schans and Giethoorn, and it was truly one of the highlights of our trip. The itinerary was well-paced, giving us enough time to explore both destinations without feeling rushed. From the iconic windmills at Zaanse Schans to the peaceful canals of Giethoorn, every moment was memorable. A special shoutout to our tour guide, Leidse, who made the experience even better. He was incredibly friendly, approachable, and knowledgeable. He shared interesting insights throughout the journey and was always attentive to everyone in the group, making sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. Overall, this tour was very well organized and enjoyable. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the Netherlands, especially if you’re lucky enough to have Leidse as your guide!
Perfect trip with 7 people in the van! Leidse was a very good guide who shared lots of interesting information about the attractions and even helped us take pictures. I really enjoyed the trip and had a great time.
Leidse is a great guy, organised the tour in a fun as well as professional way. Loved riding the boat with him. Comfortable car and good itirinary
