Reviews
the guide was very friendly and knowledgeable, the meetup point was also convienient, about a 5 min walk from the train station. i enjoyed the cheese factory visit very much. the visit to the windmill village was a bit rushed though, i wish it was about 30 mins longer. overall a good experience :)
The guide was witty and knowledgeable. Best to arrive early as they depart on time. On the bus, best to sit on the left and going back sit on the right for photos. Go into the windmill if you get the chance.
The overall tour was great. It was a gloomy weather and a lot of tourist yesterday, Easter Sunday. Our tour guide Flor is multiligual. She explained everything as much as she can. I canno't count anymore how many cheese I tasted during the tour 😹😹😹 I took a video during shoe making. Overall, this Tour is recommended.
Eve, the travel guide was knowledgeable about the place and had to translate in 3 different languages (english, germand and spanish). I also want to commend the driver Rene, as he made sure we were safe and the bus was clean.
Nice morning getaway from Amsterdam. Guide was great and informative on our journey there and back. Easy trip to the village and ample time to explore the village and see some windmills.
It was a pleasant trip during our time in Amsterdam. Jolanda our tour guide explained well all about the history of the place, the windmills and Netherlands 🇳🇱 history. Feel free to use my code “GROWNBYJAM” to save on your bookings here 🤍👍
A fun half day away for the family for a quick tour of a cheese factory and the windmill village. Good for kids. Guide was knowledgeable and had many interesting and entertaining facts to keep everyone engaged.
I like the fact that it only take you about 3hrs plus to enjoy the trip. you can see demonstration of wooden shoes and cheese making and sight seeing
