See more than Amsterdam - Tour in the Dutch Countryside with Xavi was great. He was funny and informative. After spending a couple days in Amsterdam, it was fun to get out of the city and see various sites like the windmills and fishing villages. My wife and I would highly recommend.

A must do tour! - It was an amazing tour and our guide Richard was awesome. The windmills were beautiful to see. Edam was such a cute town, the cheese and clog farm was so much fun. Both Volendam and Marken was so pretty and the people were friendly.

Great tour guide - Augustine was amazing! Super friendly and informative and made the whole day fun. He was also really good at giving advice on where to go and what to do while you had free time on the tour. He even gave us information about where all the bathrooms were and how much they cost. 10/10 recommend this tour!

Lovely and long tour, worth it! - What a lovely tour! We got lucky with some beautiful weather to hit up all the tour stops. Loved the windmills and the cheese tasting was fun! My favorite was the truffle cheese and they had some of the best mustard for dipping I have ever had. This was well worth it and my husband and I were nodding off on the bus back. Catching the ferry at the end of the tour was a neat little bonus. Our guide was very friendly and didn’t leave us behind when we got lost after lunch. Took a wrong turn somewhere and we were so stressed about being left behind but we called to let them know we were coming and just needed a little more time to find our way.

Nice little day trip - nicely paced tour. I felt we had enough time at each part to explore and enjoy our time there without feeling too rushed. Our tour guide Agustin was very kind, patient, funny, and helpful.
