A Great Taste of Amsterdam History - Our tour guide Eric was wonderful. Gave a lot of history and helped to keep us informed. He even held our packages for us. Always went and got the van and brought it closer for us to get in. Really enjoyed seeing all the windmills and the tours of the cheese factory and clog making were wonderful. Had plenty of time for sightseeing and shopping. The canal tour was beautiful and so relaxing. Eric provided umbrellas during the brief showers that we had. Overall the weather was fantastic.

Fantastic day out. - I was contacted by Zane the day before to confirm pickup. Very interesting day out. Perfectly timed to avoid the crowds. Max 8 is a total bonus. Windmills were a treat, and the remote canal cruise was just beautiful.
