Amazing tour, interesting places, flexible in terms of change in schedule date & last but not the least entertaining tour guide 'Adbergh' from Lindbergh Tour & Travel.

Excellent!
Reviewed by: Andy, 2015/09/02While Amsterdam is an amazing city, I always had visions of Holland with the windmills, wooden clogs, and also cheese. The trip seemed to include all of the above so my wife and I signed up for the trip, and it definitely included all of the above in just a half day tour. While the trip was tight in terms of time, there were enough for us to just walk around a little. Our guide was excellent, friendly, and provided all sorts of fun facts during the trip. We were very happy to get out and see a side of Holland that we could not get in Amsterdam. We even got to try the world famous Voledam cheese from the original voledam cheese factory!

Fantastic day trip from Amsterdam
Reviewed by: Sharon, 2015/08/29If you want to take a day off from the big city life of Amsterdam, the day trip to Marken, Volendam, and dutch windmill villages is the perfect getaway. We joined the tour as we wanted to see what Netherlands outside of Amsterdam is like previously, and the trip definitely did not disappoint. You got a feel of the Windmill villages and was able to go inside one of them and see how it worked. We then went to Voledam where the cheese market was cool and certain good for tasting. Ultimately, we took a quiet and joyful ride to the island of Marken visiting the clog factory. The only thing we wished was that there were more time at each of the spots for us to enjoy.

Enjoy various faces of Holland!
Reviewed by: Anonymous, 2015/01/27We joined a morning tour. We thought it would be rushed as we would cover 3 places in half a day, but it was well timed. After visiting a cheese factory, we had enough to time to try some seafood for lunch. Also, we were able to go up to the top of a windmill. I was very satisfied as we were able to enjoy Holland-like landscapes efficiently on a fine day.

I really had fun!
Reviewed by: Anonymous, 2015/01/27There were so many places to see! I didn't expect I could go on a sightseeing ship, so I was excited.
With the blue sky, white clouds and a lake without waves, it was like a mirror world. (It was like Uyuni lake in Bolivia.)
A harbor town where we went to had a beautiful streetscape.
After seeing a cheese factory, we had a lunch (you have to buy it yourself) and took a walk - fish and chips was really tasty there!
The one day sightseeing was like a dream. I'm very satisfied.

Very satisfied
Reviewed by: Anonymous, 2015/01/27We have joined several tours, and this is the best so far. You may be under the impression that Zanze Schans is flooded with tourists, but this is the only place you can view a vast landscape lined with numerous windmills.
Marken and Volendam are both small fishing villages, with a spectacular view of the dock in the evening. We enjoyed visiting a wooden shoe factory and a choose factory, with interesting explanations provided by a female guide.
The bus guide spoke English, which was easy to understand, and he was always all smiles. It is the best tour to see the rural areas of the Netherlands.

Holland’s rural landscape
Reviewed by: Anonymous, 2015/01/27Blessed with a fine weather, it was an excellent tour. Girls at a cheese factory and a wooden shoe factory were all dressed in cute traditional clothes and gave humorous explanations, which we all enjoyed. The cheese was excellent!
The guide was very friendly and cheerful.
In the last, we sang "Amsterdam, Amsterdam" (Holland song?) together.
It was a fun and memorable trip!

We enjoyed Holland to the fullest!
Reviewed by: Anonymous, 2015/01/27It was not that far from Amsterdam, and we could experience the true Holland. In Zaanse Schans, we saw the windmills, tasted and bought some cheese. Volendam and Marken are both fishers' villages where cute houses line up along the streets. In Volendam we ate the local specialty of fried cod, and in Marken we watched how craftsmen make clogs. We crossed over from Volendam to Marken by boat, and this was already included in the price, which made this a very good tour.

This was an excellent trip, allowing us to see up close a variety of aspects of the life of the country and packing so much into the time.
It would have been good,however,to start a little earlier in the afternoon. And given the amount of walking involved, we would have preferred meeting at the point of departure rather than the ticket office!

Il tour è stato molto interessante e consiglio di farlo, anche il pranzo al ristorante dietro consiglio della guida è stato buono, l'unica nota negativa e che ha piovuto per tutto il giorno.

superbe ballade, on a adoré la découverte du fromage, la traversée en bateau, et surtout fait la connaissance de bart le fabriquant de sabot, et que dire des moulins dommage que le bus est arrivé a la fermeture du village des moulins.
Le seul hic c'est encore une fois la langue, pas de francais, heureusement daniela a essayé de nous donner un max d'info avec ses ba<x>ses en français, merci beaucoup. A voir absolument
