Incredible Private Tours! - Our family of 4 adults and three children (ages 12, 11 and 9) had the pleasure of going on two private tours organized by Dutch Tours last week. The first was a full day tour to Giethoorn village and Zaanse Schans and the following day a half day tour to De Haar Castle and lunch at a nearby goat farm. I would have written this review sooner, but I have been struggling to find enough superlatives to convey just how wonderful these experiences were. Our tour guide for both days was Eva and she was everything you could ask for in a tour guide and more. The 90 minute drive to Giethoorn from our hotel flew by as Eva shared interesting stories and anecdotes as well as patiently answering our many questions about Dutch history and culture. She arranged our boat ride through the village (the cost for all admissions were included in the tour price) and gave us expert tips on how to make the most of our time there. In Zaanse Schans she knew the best places to take us and even took countless pictures of our group for us. The next day when Eva met us at our hotel, it was like greeting an old friend! Her expertise at De Haar Castle really shone through as she regaled us with interesting and sometimes funny stories that helped keep the children engaged throughout the tour. Lunch at the goat farm was such a pleasant surprise and we were thrilled to visit a place that seemed to be off the beaten path and frequented more by locals than tourists. I had mentioned to Eva that I was concerned about getting transportation to the airport for our large group in a few days because the area our hotel was in wasn’t frequented by many taxis. While at the goat farm, Eva made a call and arranged a driver to pick us up at our hotel on travel day! She even called us through the taxi company as we were on our way to the airport to make sure everything went smoothly and wish us safe travels! We learned so much on both tours and all of us were so thankful that we chose Dutch Tours as our guides. The company is owned by two women who care deeply about providing the best possible experiences for their clients and it shows! Communication during the booking process was great with fast responses to my (many) questions. Our only regret was that we didn’t have more time to so more tours with them. You can’t go wrong choosing Dutch Tours and whether your guide is Eva or Sarah, you will be so glad you chose them !

A wonderful Sunday trip with Ibrahim! - It was a very educational trip with Ibrahim and the driver (whom we sadly forgotten his name). Throughout the trip, Ibrahim never stop to offer his wealth of knowledge and insights into Amsterdam and the places where we visited for the day. Ibrahim was very enthusiastic and showed a lot of pride in his work, and we were blessed with such excellent service, including good driving skills from the driver. The coach (bus) was in good condition, and we were very pleased with the cleanliness of the coach. All in all, it was money well spent and we added some tips to both of them to make their day, just as they have made our day.
