Fantastic Experience - This was an amazing trip that we hope to do again. Although we just missed the tulip fields in bloom, the staff ensured we still had a full day of wonderful visits and experiences we will never forget. Our visit to the dike, stops in Friesland villages, a tour of their largest operating steam boiler facility, views of old and new windmills, lunch in Friesland, and informative talks with our guides Lysanne and Celine as we drove in the lake district outside Amsterdam were all fantastic. Everyone we met on this trip were friendly and professional. This was our first trip to the Netherlands and it won't be our last. Highly recommend linking up with the Amsterdam Lake District Tours if you want to leave the hustle and bustle of the city for day or more.

The best Netherlands tour - I have been to the Netherlands several times, each time I have taken tours to get to know this beautiful part of the world. I have loved each tour that I have taken, but this tour was by far the best one I have ever taken in the Netherlands. From the moment we climbed aboard, to each place that we visited was a joy. The tour guides were so knowledgeable and kind, It didn't feel like they were on such a time schedule that we couldn't stop and enjoy some unexpected photo opportunity that crossed our path. Next time I am in the Netherlands I will definitely use the Amsterdam Lake District tours as my go to.
