The best Windmill and country side tour. - We really enjoyed the tour to the countryside and the windmills including Edam. Our tour bus driver was Steff, the piano player. He kept us entertained through out the tour. Our tour guides were Astrid and Susanna. They were the best guides. We toured the windmills, Marken, Voldedam and Edam. There was a 30 minute boat ride from Marken to Volendam. It was quite an enjoyable tour. I would recommend it for everyone. Stef kept us laughing and had us all singing. Astrid and Susanna were friendly and very knowledgeable.

Great day trip - A very well organised and pleasant day trip. Informative and friendly guides. A great way to see a lot in a short space of time. If you have more time I would recommend a trip with longer at each stop

Very worthwhile trip - Excellent Value trip. Very comfortable coach and visited varied sites. Windmill talk, clog maker and waffle demos excellent- great information and lively delivery. Cheese factory a big disappointment as so little info given and no demo. Just selling really. So good to see countryside and villages outside the city. Excellent guide and friendly driver.

A great day, but a bit crowded - Wonderful experience except for the crowds - a very full double decker bus combined with many other tourists. Artisans were enthusiastic and entertaining; the guides less so. Splendid day and scenery - worth the trip!

The double decker bus... - The double decker bus with 84 people way too many people to get much out of the demonstration! Tge countryside was beautiful! Edam was favorite!

1 to see but fast - The site is good mills. A lot of people. Paid parking 15 euro. Activities in the mills are subject to payment. 6 eur per person for the view and photo. Interesting cheese tasting. Cheese Award a little expensive. Have a nice ride. Didn't have the opportunity to do the museum. Toilet 1 eur per person.

DON'T DO IT!!!! - The tour is organized not to allow people to visit the surroundings of Amsterdam but only to encourage them to buy local products (cheese, biscuits and clogs). Very tight deadlines. We didn't get to see anything!!! HIGHLY NOT RECOMMENDED!!!
