VELTRA tours & activities, fun things to do

this is highly interesting and educational to boot! definitely worth it!
i just wish we had more time at the windmill....

Wish there was more time to explore Volendam and Marken on our own. The guide brought us to a cheese factory, given time for a quick fish and chips late lunch, waffle factory and we were off on our crusie to Marken! At Marken, we only had time for a brisk walk to the clog factory and back to bus for our return trip.Wouldn't have minded starting earlier with the live guide and/or returning later. Would have loved to browse in the shops and walk around just to appreciate the area...

nice experience

I took this tour with my husband and mother. We agree that it is well worth the money and great tour getting into Amsterdam countrysides. The tour was user friendly because it provided multi-language audio guide. It was well organised with an engaging and nice tour guide and the announcements of meeting time and place were clear. As we had to visit 3 places in 5 hours, it was a little bit of rush. The sceneries were amazing and we took many beautiful photos. The windmill village was really beautiful. The demonstration in cheese factory was interesting. The fishing village was very different from those in Hong Kong. We took a half hour boat trip to the clog factory where we could buy hand made traditional Dutch clogs. 

Great scenery!

I enjoyed the great sceneries in Marken,Volendam and Dutch Windmill village.These were all good spots for photography session .There were also demonstration of cheese and clogs making for those have interest on it.The tour group size was big and each of us was given a headphone during our bus journey that provide brief introduction of the places that we were going to visit.Tour guides were good in reminding us on our road safety with bicycles .Overall the tour was a bit rush to cover all places .If there were more time given for taking photos it will be even a more excellent and enjoyable experience.I would say it was still a day trip that worthwhile to pay a visit due to its nice sceneries.

Worth the visit! :)

When I first booked the trip, I wasn't too sure if there would be enough time to cover all the places within half a day. But I was not disappointed at the end of the tour! The trip was very organised with friendly tour guides and we were told the meeting point and time at each place. There were demonstrations of cheese and clogs making and people are allowed time to grab a bite or drinks - so don't worry, you don't have to pack your own sandwiches! Personally, I would prefer to have a bit more time for taking photographs as the sceneries were just so breathtaking! In short, this is definitely the tour to show you the gems of Netherlands. :)

Very nice trip and interesting seeing the cheese factory and the windmills, well worth it! very good guide also.

Very enjoyable and very beautiful place

Very enjoyable half day tour with very good guide and driver. All three places visited where interesting and very pretty. Marken was the only place that we felt as if we were intruding into a locals life as it is a small attractive village and with all the coach tours going through everyday I would feel the same detachment towards tourist. Volendam and the Windmill Village are lager and more geared to tourist. We think the tour is well worth doing and great value and would recommend it to other tourists.

The tour was very good in that it gave a lot of variety. The driver and guide were excellent. The tour was late in getting away from city centre. I don't think the boat trip was worthwhile - a drive to the island would have been more interesting. All in all I would recomend the tour.

Very good tour guide.

Trip was just right, not to long, not to short. Time spent at each place just right also. No rushing from our end.

Very clear on pick up/drop off.

It was a very nice half day trip, well organised even though we had bad weather I would recommend it.

very informative tour. Good shopping. enjoyable!
