Very pleasant day with accommodating guide Singh.
The history of the windmills was fantastic.
Pace was perfect and allowed us to enjoy visiting a wooden shoe and a cheese making facility.
Easy walking.
Nice lunch on our own and ended up with a relaxing boat ride in the canals of the “Venice of Netherlands” .
Well worth a visit.

Great private tour for 4 people. In august suggest going earlier because there was a lot of boat traffic on the canal but really pleasant day.
From our hotel it was about an hour drive (in a nice Mercedes’ van) and an hour to get to Geithomme but worth the drive. Driver, Marteen, was very nice and accommodating.
