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 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.

Our guide, Steven Atterson, treated us to a wonderful day in Geithoorn and Hasselt. The trip gave us a new experience in the Netherlands, combined with interesting history and discussion along the way. He took us to a local restaurant, with the best pea soup I have ever had. The entirety of the day felt like a traditional and local Netherlands experience. Steven is knowledgeable and easy to be with for the day. I highly recommend him as your guide for any Netherlands tour you desire to take.

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.
