Reinier was a fabulous guide for this beautiful part of The Netherlands. He was extremely knowledgeable, prepared, helpful and courteous and made our day a wonderful experience. The canal cruise was my favorite but I also enjoyed the cheese tasting and the history of the dike. Thank you again!

The driver/tour guide, Reinier, was very knowledgeable and very friendly. He gave excellent background information at each stop. He gave us plenty of time to look around at the stops - 2 hours each at the two main stops. He made sure we had toilet breaks. He was clear about pick up times and spots after we walked around places. The canal trip was very scenic, as were the windmills and all the attractions there. The cheesemaking and clog making demonstrations were fantastic, as was the cheese tasting. Highly recommend this tour.

Fantastic fairy tale day! Highly recommend for a real taste of Holland. Our tour guide, Leidse, was knowledgeable and fun. He made a big effort to learn everyone’s name and include everyone in conversation. Highly professional.
