I booked this hotel near Zaandam Station, a 15-minute train ride from Amsterdam, because hotel prices in Amsterdam were outrageously high. It was the right decision. Moving around the city with heavy suitcases on cobblestone streets or on cramped trams would have been a nightmare. The building itself is cute enough to be a tourist attraction, and the inside is modern, clean, and the bathrooms were spotless. There's also a HEMA (a popular store for general merchandise) and a Primark (like a British version of Uniqlo) nearby, so I enjoyed shopping too.

We visited the 3 places and feel that there was not enough time given to Zaanse Schans. There was a presentation at each of the locations but due to photo opportunities at Zaanse Schans windmills, there was not enough time to visit the shops for sounvenirs. Would suggest to cutback time at Volendam as there was more than enough time to take lunch and visit the shops. Although Marken itself is interesting, there is not much to see while taking the boat from Volendam to Marken. Truly enjoyed the tour and is highly recommend.

Awesome experience. We were very lucky to have the sun out in this gloomier season, while enjoying the sights of Zaans Schans and Giethoorn at its fullest. The tour guide is not only knowledgable, witty and patient, he is also an all in one, being our minivan driver and our boat tour driver at the same time throughout this whole tour. Highly recommended if you are looking for a relaxing tour.

We love our tour guide Rainier, he was bubbly, friendly, happy, knowledgable and experienced tour guide. how we wish all tour guides are like him :) He was a good driver as well. We really enjoyed this tour. The weather was great thus making the trip more memorable. Highly recommended!

The meeting point was easy to find, just right behind the Amsterdam Centraal station. The guide Mr Du was knowledgeable and fluent in explaining the history of and current situation in Netherlands, and also helpful in answering queries. Lunch could choose either beef noodle or chicken fried rice, quite sumptuous and filling. The itinerary was planned quite well, with appropriate staying time in each attraction point. Guide moved with moderate walking speed and easy to follow even for older guests. Coach was comfortable despite aircon issue. Tour price was slightly higher than other competitors but overall it was quite worth it. Will recommend it.

The tour was good overall, but it felt a little rushed at times. The first stop wasn’t something I was really interested in, but the rest of the itinerary was great! Our tour guide was excellent and made the experience enjoyable! thank you

Reinier is the best guide that I never seen before. He is so fantastic. He made my trip wonderful and so happy, enjoyable. He knew what things to show us. All interesting and important to watched them. After finished he suggested us to go to have nice restaurant around the city. I will put next trip with him again. Thanks Reinier.

Redeeming the voucher at This Is Holland was quite straightforward. However, the wait to board the bus was lengthy, and we had to stand in an open area. There wasn't a guide, but the driver informed us of the return time before we headed to the next destination. Overall, it was an enjoyable day trip to see the tulips.
