Fun, informative and delicious - Tosca and Tim were great. Tosca was the guide and was extremely attentive and although this was the English language tour. She did speak Spanish to a small group that only knew Spanish so she showed concern that everyone was well informed. Tim was the driver and he deserves all the "cheese" 🙂 . Speaking of cheese. The shop was amazing and the employee that gave the demonstrations was funny , entertaining and knowledgeable. I loved the visit to Edam, the restaurant at the seaside town and the windmills. Must do

What we expected - Typical Holland excursion with what we expected. Clomping, cheese, windmills, beautiful houses etc. The distances were not long, bus clean and tour guide competent. The stays could have been a bit longer and it would be nice if there were different starting points for the tours. Is certainly due to the parking difficulties.

Great tour of the dutch countryside. - Great trip to the countryside around Amsterdam. It included a walking tour of a pretty village, traditional windmills, a cheese and wooden shoe factory. Wish it included a boat ride (we had one in our previous visit to Amsterdam) or a visit to the famous dike.
