Great day! - Veronica was wonderful! Our day trip was fun, informative, and stress-free. We learned so much and had fun while doing it! Her knowledge of the towns we traveled to and of Dutch culture was impressive. Would recommend to anyone!

Amazing tour - Veronica was amazing. We had a great experience. We had a Spanish tour to Giethoorn and Zaanse Schans . She explained every detail. She is knowledgable and was wonderful to spend the day with her. My son said while in Giethoorn “this is definition of paradise”, worth every penny.

Worth the visit - Beautiful town and so neat to see such a small Venice like canals but so clean . Nice way to spend a day there. History from the guide Veronica was excellent. Only Wish she slow down a bit to let us absorb the beauty in Giethoorne.

Nice trip to dutch village. - The trip was well worth it. The guide was knowledgeable and seemed to enjoy her job. The only down sides were the visit to Schaanse and the boat trip. It seemed as we went to Schaanse only to be allowed to shop and didn't have time to visit the windmills. The boat trip would have been much better if the tourists didn't have to drive the boats. They were hard to steer. But, all in all, enjoyed Giethoorn very much.

Tricked by the tour operator - We paid for a full day tour to go to Geithoorn we also paid extra for a small group We confirmed the week before we are going on the full tour and two people will attend Only hours before the tour the operator called us and cancelled the trip. Instead she put us on a much larger bus with more people and we only spent half a day in Geithoorn not a full day. She took us to the windmills for half a day instead even though we told her we already went to the windmills the day before she did not care. We have just arrived in our country after travelling Europe for two months no other operator in Europe treated us like this. It is the only this company that treated us terribly so she could make maximum profit. Rather than apologizing for the terrible was she treated us as our tour was ruined and rushed and we had to go to the windmills twice in two days in a row. Rather than apologizing she writes false stories to cover what se did Terrible tour operator

Tour was significantly not as described we did not have a full day in Geithoorn as per our voucher - My husband and I paid a lot of money to go to Geithoorn for the day. A few hours before the tour the guide called us to say she will change the itinerary and take us half day to Giethoorn and half day in Zaanse Schans. I told her that we already went on a tour to Zaanse Schans the day before but she did not care. Our trip was ruined as our time in Geithoorn was rushed. Its pretty shady to call customers a few hours before and change the itinerary completely and even though I complained she did not care. We paid a lot of money and travelled from Australia many hours to get to Amsterdam to do this tour and this tour operator ruined our experience no other tour operator in Europe did this only this tour operator we are very upset about how we were treated
