Excellent day out on the Northern Highlights Tour - We had an excellent day out with Simon as our guide and driver. The tour took us to Zaanse Schans and then away from the tourist trail, across the incredible enclosing dyke into Friesland where we visited the medieval towns of Sneek and Muiderslot. It was great for us to get away from tourist crowds and we practically had Muiderslot castle to ourselves on the day we visited. Simon was friendly, accommodating and a wealth of information. A generous snack bag was provided for us and we had time for a sit down lunch in Sneek. We would definitely recommend this tour!
