The entire day was an enlightening and enjoyable experience, after spending most of our trip in Amsterdam and other larger cities. Our driver was very knowledgeable and friendly, fitting a considerable amount of Dutch culture and history throughout the drive that we would never have learned ourselves. By taking a smaller passenger van instead of a tour bus, we were able to visit some smaller villages that would have otherwise been skipped for more touristy attractions. With perfect weather, venturing around the Dutch country side and small fishing villages made for a wonderful end to our trip.

Fantastic experience! My favorite thing I did while visiting Amsterdam. The guide is from the area near Zaanse Schans and is so knowledgeable about it. You visit a lot of local shops - cheese tasting, clog making demonstration, chocolate production, and inside a windmill. I gained so much more than I would’ve by coming to Zaanse Schans on my own - and honestly, it’s so gorgeous that going there while in the area is a must!

We have used this service on multiple occasions. It was important to first try a shuttle van many years ago. That was inexpensive but a long and not very comfortable ride. This company provides drivers who are courteous and conversational. They are easily reach-able by phone prior to arrival and when you have collected your bages. Their instructions as to meeting point are clear. Rather than feeling that the driver wants to get us to our destination quickly so he can get to another assignment, these men never give the impression that you are being rushed by them. We use at different company in the UK, but I highly recommend this one for the Continent. Also, although not inexpensive, we have paid far more for far less with other car services. Their cars are not large E-Class Mercedes, but they are clean and comfortable. The drivers clearly take pride in their vehicles.

Bit of a nightmare really. Hate to write a negative review but it did really make our first trip with a wheelchair quite stressful. We spent a lot of money with this company which was supposed to be a return transfer to the airport and hiring of a mobility scooter for our trip. 1. Their offices close on the weekend which was when we were travelling therefore this resulted in confusion on our part and we didn't get the transfer from the airport as paid for. Even though I take full responsibility for my end, when we spoke to the company there was no goodwill gesture what so ever which was a bit rubbish considering we spent 360 euros. Communication through the week was fine but it was not explicitly clear how to get in contact when office was closed. 2. Scooter arrived at time expected but was not charged fully which was a worry for my mother as she didn't want to leave the hotel unless sure we would not run out of battery. In the end we didn't even use the scooter as we had no other option but to go out on the first day without it. We ended up finding the tram system in Amsterdam easy enough to get a manual wheelchair on and off with two people. If you use a manual wheelchair and like us thought it might make your trip easier and more pleasant using this company then maybe think twice as it just added extra stress to ours.
