Zaanse Schans tours

First of all, this trip is definitely worth the bucks! There were multiple stops including the windmill, cheese factory, Edam, Volendam & Marken Tour. Personally found that the time in the windmill area was extremely tight, after a few photoshoot we barely had anytime to visit the stores, however places like Edam & Marken Tour I found it a little waste of time as the tour guide stopped and share historic moments in these areas, some of the explanations could’ve been done in the bus ride to reduce time in those area, which were pretty dull. Volendam was an interesting area where we had our lunch recommended by the guide, also more time could be allocated here but overall it was still pleasant. The cheese factory had a nice Dutch Lady sharing how the cheese was processed, there were a good range of cheese for purchase afterward. highly recommended

Tickets and tour vouchers were easily obtained. The station staff directed us to Platform B to wait for the tour guide to lead us onto the bus. Sitting upstairs on the double-decker bus provided a better view for the journey. The first stop was Afsluitdijk for a brief 30-minute stay, to learn about the Dutch dam engineering technology that balances the separation of sea and land. The second stop was Giethoorn, first with a traditional 1-hour boat ride, followed by a very generous 2.5 hours of free time to stroll along the small bridges and waterways. Overall, a very satisfying experience, recommended for travelers who don't want to go on their own but want to spend more time in Giethoorn.

Hi Mr. Surui, thank you so much for everything today! I really appreciate how hard you worked to help me out. You made my trip so much more enjoyable. It was a pleasure having you as our guide. I highly recommend Mr. Surui as a tour guide! He is conscientious, responsible, and very enthusiastic, dedicating himself fully throughout the entire day. He is very familiar with local specialties and proactively helped us with any concerns, making him an excellent guide. Thank you for your service; I had a wonderful trip!

A 10/10 experience, coming from a female solo traveller! It may be more exp than the rest but it’s worth every penny. there is only a small group of us (8 pax) and the guide (Reinier) will take care of you from the start to the end, from preparing water bottles, picking you up directly from the hotel, preparing powerbank, wifi and everything! he makes sure we go early enough to avoid the crowd and get good pictures (he knows the best spots for pics). As compared to a large bus tour, this is a curated tour for smaller groups to understand the history of the places, and this tour includes the additional Lego House in Zandaam and most importantly Giethoorn which is a MUST go cause it’s so charming. I cannot recommend this tour and the tour guide Reiner enough!

I recently had the pleasure of joining this tour and it waa an absolutely delightful experience. From start to finish, the tour was well-organized and offered a perfect blend of pisturesque scenery, charming villages, and fascinating cultural insights. Yulia our guide is amazing and she can speaks 3 different languages.

We booked the Zaanse Schans & Keukenhof day trip on Klook and loved the flexibility of the hop-on, hop-off setup — it let us explore at our own pace without feeling rushed. I personally enjoyed the windmills at Zaanse Schans, while my mom absolutely loved the beautiful flowers at Keukenhof Gardens. Both spots were stunning in their own way. Very convenient, well-organized, and perfect for a relaxed day trip. Highly recommended!

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.

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 :)
