This excursion was the highlight of our week! Philip was our guide and he was so knowledgeable and patient answering LOTS of questions. We first went to keukenhof gardens--definitely buy the pass to the park. I'm not sure why it would be offered without the entrance because if you're going to see the tulips you need to be in the park. The cheese stop was a smaller family-run business so not quite as crowded as some others and PLENTY of samples. Learning about the wooden shoes was very interesting too. We loved visiting the windmills and because Philip had been a miller at the sawmill we really learned a lot and got to see the innerworkings. We had lunch in a super cute town, Monnikadam, which was definitely worth the visit. All in all, a great day! Thank you Philip!!
