A wonderful day touring the Holland countryside! - We had a wonderful day with Philip who showed us the Holland countryside, complete with a thorough explanation of the dams and canals, the windmills as we visited a charming part of the country. It was a joy to spend the day with Philip. He had us laughing as well as feeding our curiosity for the area. Thanks so much for a say we will remember!

An exceptional tour with an exceptional guide! - Phillip was an excellent tour guide with vast knowledge of the area. We asked for a tour away from the tourist traps and he delivered. We saw the windmills up close and got a private tour of two of the lumber mills. We had a delightful lunch in the fishing town of Monnickendam. Then visited a traditional cheese farm. We capped off our tour with a visit to village of Waterland and the unique church of Broek. I am not a fan of big tour groups and ear pieces. This was a delightful tour and well worth the money. Thanks to Phillip for an exceptional experience!

Villages, windmills, cheese and wooden shoes tour - Philip, our very knowledgeable and friendly tour guide, took us into several villages outside of Amsterdam where we had the opportunity to see many windmills and even were able to go inside a couple to see how they work. It was a beautiful drive in the countryside with cattle, sheep, goats, canals, cheese shop, wooden shoe making demonstration, cute houses. Philip was an excellent communicator with a great personality. He personalized the tour to our wishes and he answered all our questions. His life experiences added to the quality of the tour.

Unforgettable trip to Hollands countryside! - Phillip took us to the most beautiful little towns as we traveled the countryside for the day with him! Our time in each place was special. The towns people love him and treated us so well to help personalize our tour! We have so many memories from our last day in Holland. Windmills, canals, farms, architecture, cheese, clogs, animals, churches, waterside lunch, cocoa, cemetery’s, and so much more! Phillip was a true historian and we walked away with a wealth of info from each place we visited. This was a treat and we are so glad we splurged on this!

Amazing Tour - This is exactly the tour we were hoping for. Philip was fun, knowledgeable, flexible, and simply amazing. We highly recommend this tour for those who want to explore outside the city and without a large tour group.
