5.00First and foremost I want to recognize our outstanding tour guild Kai! The man was polite, funny and informative! Giethoorn was our first stop. It was by far the most beautiful stop on the tour. Started with a relaxing boat ride through the town then some free time to explore the town on our own. Then we made a quick stop for some photos in Lego Village. On to our last stop in Zaandam where we seen some windmills and how cheese and wooden shoes are made. Had some free time to walk around the town on our own. Overall fantastic experience! Highly recommended!

5.00Erik did an amazing job getting us to the different locations. He showed us a less busy canal route in Giethoorn, which was really appreciated due to the wind and number of people. His knowledge of the waterways there was above many, as he used to live there, and we saw several other boats crash/run into the sides of the canal. Great job overall!
Had a great day

5.00Kai was a great guide. He was so knowledgeable on Amsterdam, along with all the many stops on our tour. Also he was very humorous and ensured everyone in our tour group felt welcomed and enjoyed their time together. I’d highly recommend him as a tour guide.

5.00What an amazing experience - I don’t think I will ever forget this magical day! I wasn’t sure what to expect but it exceeded my expectations. The canal ride through Gierthoon was my favourite part, it seemed right out of a storybook. We were able to cover a lot of places and experiences within the time frame and were dropped off before 6pm which I really appreciated. Kai was organized, knowledgeable, humorous and I highly recommend you pick him as a guide if you have the option to. We were a great group and I will miss them!
Amazing tour with Simon!!
