Stefka led a wonderful tour through a small town while on her bicycle. Windmills, canals, dykes - all of the special features in a small town setting. Stefka clearly loves the town and is prepared to answer questions with knowledge and gentle good humour. This is our second tour with Stefka and it was a treat!

We travelled by train to Amsterdam and only saw one windmill - went past too quickly to get a photo. Zaanse Sch.. is a site where working windmills and other traditional Dutch working buildings have been brought together in one place. Plenty to see and do. Visiting inside of windmill was fascinating. The working clogs museum showing how they were traditionally made and more recent "industrial" processes was also worthwhile.

Who ever reads this, I'm telling you that this is the BEST tour I have ever had in my life. Saaed (our tour guide) is very very informative person, we learned a lot about the the locations we are going to and extra. We did more things than those which are listed in the inclusion for example we stopped in a farm shop and bought some very frish fruits. Saaed will show you some places where you can take some amazing photos (Other tour guides will not care), I was lucky to be with him in this tour. Of course we were given masks and water bottles. Bottom line, you will not regret any single euro paid in this tour. I wish you a wonderful tour.

Very good place to spend your summer vacation although it's expensive. book your boat, home and bicycle before you reach here. Remember, here every bar or restaurant closes by 8 pm. Some places you can't go with car, in that case you have to leave your car near at some parking place such as 500 mitre max.
