Best Way to see Quintessential Dutch Countryside in One Day - To see the country side around Amsterdam in one day this is your tour. We were picked up at our hotel in downtown Amsterdam (not an easy place to get around by car) and taken to see and experience all things Dutch: charming Dutch village, process of making wooden shoes, windmill operations, automated milk cow farm and cheese making and wonderful lunch at a restaurant perched atop a dike next a lake. Wonderful day tailored to our interests. Highly recommend.

Enjoyable Zaanse Schans tour and Volendam - Initially, we were not able to get in touch with the tour provider Zaan Tours via any of the methods posted in Viator or Internet. We wanted to know the name and transportation information for planning purposes. We were glad that Liselore came to pick us up exactly on time 0900 at our hotel for our tour. We had a private tour with her and we really enjoyed it. She was very informartive and friendly. Zaans Schans is a beautiful place. We were able to take several pictures with the windmills and some clogs outisde the Clog Factory. The experience to the Cheese Factory was nice. The fishing town of Volendam was very charming. We had lunch there. It was delicious. Finally, we took a boat ride to Marken....just to chill. Liselore waited for us at Marken to ride us back to Ámsterdam. Overall a very worthy tour and enjoyable. Liselore was an excellent tour guide.

Day out of the city for a taste of the Netherlands - A great day out of the city of Amsterdam with Bart to Zaanse Schans and the fishing village of Volendam. Windmills, Clog making, best Cod you've ever eaten in the most scenic of restaurants and cheese tasting. It doesn't get more Dutch than that. Bart was a terrific host that combined passion for his part of the world with hospitality and professionalism.

Amazing Tour - My husband and I were celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary. We picked the perfect tour to celebrate. Bart did a wonderful job in showing us the important things to see. We LOVED going to the dairy to see the cows and sample the amazing cheeses. When we return to Amsterdam, we will do this tour again. Thanks Bart for a great lunch and fun tour!
