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.

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.

This tour exceeded all our expectations, and a big part of that was our amazing guide, Holly.
She didn’t just introduce the attractions themselves, but went much deeper—sharing the historical background, cultural context, and everyday stories behind Dutch history, including details about local life, traditions, and even food like cheese and butter.
As foreign visitors, Holly helped us truly understand the Netherlands, not just see it. Her explanations made every stop meaningful rather than just a photo opportunity. The tour felt thoughtful, well-paced, and incredibly informative.
Highly recommended for anyone who wants more than a standard sightseeing tour. This was an authentic and enriching experience.

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.

Our guide Pete was very kind, professional and enthusiastic about the places on the itinerary. He gave us a lot of information about Amsterdam, city life, economy, tourism, history and also enough information about the places on the program. He knew very well what he was serving. Tour was very well organized also, not too many people in the group, we enjoyed really too much. I advice this tour to anybody else. And if you get Pete as a guide and a driver, your day will be more fun!

I really loved the experience. From windmills to clogs to free tasting cheeses. What I most loved is when we visited the fishermen’s village it’s quite modern now but you can still feel and smell the vibe. Not that crowded when we visited and our guide Martina was so kind. It was a half day tour but worth it. I really loved the food we ate too.

The guide was incredibly friendly and gave fun explanations with a well-organized itinerary. The guide actually lives in this neighborhood and shared interesting stories from the past, making it a very satisfying tour. Highly recommended.

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.
