Our tour guide Joyce took us to Giethoorn and Kampen on a wonderful private day tour. She picked us up at our hotel in Amsterdam and gave us lots of information about the geography and history of The Netherlands on the drive. We even found a late blooming tulip field which was unexpected! The day was relaxed and informative, Joyce is a great guide, knowledgeable and flexible. Highly recommend Holland Day Tours!
Online booking and communication with Stefka prior to the trip was easy as well.

Wilfred was an excellent tour guide. We had a great experience in Giethoorn and a good lunch at a new spot away from the crowds. We say an amazing windmill and then a fun visit at the dairy farm.
We thoroughly enjoyed our day!
