Amsterdam Day trips

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.

Peter was a really wonderful tour guide and driver! He provides every little info we needed to know about the tour and the location. During our 4 hours of bus round trip, he didn’t rest at all but kept providing us useful info with soft and low voice which are perfect for both those who want to listen and rest at the same time!

Wybe Rood was my tour guide. He was excellent in his explanations and the stories he told were both informative and personal. His shared from his heart, sometimes even with tears welling up in his eyes. I highly recommend this tour before visiting the actual Ann Frank House.

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!

This day trip to Giethoorn was absolutely fantastic! From the very beginning, our guide and driver was incredibly welcoming, instantly putting everyone at ease with his friendly greetings. On the way to Giethoorn, he thoughtfully explained the passing scenery and shared interesting tidbits about Dutch culture, making the journey anything but boring. Upon arrival, he led us to a local cheese shop, explaining the production process and highlighting key tasting notes, giving us a deeper understanding of Dutch cheese culture. He even kindly informed us that we could use the restrooms at the restaurant next door by mentioning his name – attention to detail was top-notch! The canal tour that followed was definitely a highlight of the trip. The guide on the boat was funny and engaging, and we enjoyed the fairytale village surrounded by greenery and waterways, making us feel like we were stepping into a postcard. The one-hour boat ride flew by, and afterwards, we had free time to wander through the village, take photos, and enjoy coffee. When the weather is clear, the reflections of the houses and bridges in the water are breathtakingly beautiful, making every photo look like a postcard. The entire trip was perfectly paced, the guide was thoughtful and gave lively explanations, and the arrangements were very smooth. It was a perfect experience that was both educational and relaxing. Five-star rating, highly recommended for anyone who wants to experience the charm of the Netherlands!

I liked the tour very much. The tour guide Ian guided us very well from the start. He took us to all the important places. Overall, it was fun and highly recommend this tour.
