Maiky (spelling?) was our guide for the day. She was full of personality and information. The vendors at the different stops knew her which was helpful. The windmill stop in Zaanse Schans was great. We could take as much time as we wanted and weren’t rushed. We enjoyed the cheese stop and clog demonstration, as well. We were able to choose from 3 restaurants for our lunch and Maiky had the menus available for us to look at in advance, which we appreciated. Volendam was nice, too. My 2 points of constructive criticism are this- we booked many tours for our 12 day trip and all tour operators EXCEPT this one, sent a message via Viator several days in advance letting us know the details of the tour as fart as tour guide name and reminding about the start time. This co. Did not acknowledge the booking ever which didn’t give us the warm, fuzzy feeling that they even knew about it. My second point is the ferry to Marken was unnecessary. We took the 30 minute ferry while our guide drove t Marken and she met us there. But we didn’t know where to meet her. She said “she’d find us” and it was not as easy as that . We wasted more time looking for her than enjoying Marken. I would recommend driving to Marken with the guide and allowing her to show you around. Or skip Marken altogether and spend more time in Volendam. Even with my last 2 points I do recommend the tour!

Excellent resident knowledge! Tour included Village, Farm & History content; old, dike with reclaim background, new tech farming & fishing overview. Lunch with local residents away from tourists was appreciated for quality and culture. The dairy farm has on demand robotic milking with individual cow data base for milk production. Village had various working windmills. Volendam boat transfer had fabulous onboard ferry local engagement, easy for Canadians. Get off the beaten path, experience.
