Private Tour to Zaanse Schans and Volendam with Cheese Tasting

Elias was a fantastic driver & guide. We learned so much from him & he was great at pointing out additional experiences that we could do along the way. It was just the right amount of time and information in each stop.

Yuenes was a great guide! Well explaining the sites and patiently taking care of the elders in our group

The sites were also amazing, seeing traditional windmills, a 1 hour old cow in the cheese factory, and lunch at fisherman's town

Eric was amazing! Super professional and courteous.

The experience was great and we learned a lot.

Thank you!

Great way to see heavy tourist area efficiently and catered to your own timeline. We were able to spend extra time where we were interested and breeze through or skip items we were not as interested in. Elias was prompt and friendly and accompanied us inside every attraction to expedite our passage and point out items of interest.

Our driver and guide Younes was delightful with the right amount of stories and conversation as he navigated the roads and crowds.

He was prepared when we weren’t!

The rain came down at the windmills and he was quick to pull out umbrellas. My hat blew off into the dikes and he was able to get a long pole to fish it out!

We got back to the hotel happier than when we left!

The places were gorgeous, the food was fantastic and the tour guide was really friendly and very informed about the sites we visited.

Our driver, Redouan was the perfect guide for this tour! He was prompt, knowledgeable, and warm - quite the contrast to the weather we got on the day of our tour. The wind, however, was perfect for seeing the saw windmill in action! Seeing how the clogs are made was interesting and we were all amazed at the variety of clogs on display. We also enjoyed seeing the cows being milked and tasting all the cheeses at the cheese farm. The highlight of the tour was in Volendam, when we were given a personal tour of the Smit Bokkum Smokehouse by none other than Jan Smit after we had enjoyed a delicious lunch. All in all, a wonderful and informative tour!

We enjoyed a wonderful day in the countryside with Younes. The windmills were so pretty and Younes gave us little tidbits of history to make it more interesting. We loved visiting the dairy farm and tasting the cheese and then having lunch in the little fishing village. This was a great excursion to see parts of the Netherlands other than Amsterdam. The van was clean and comfortable. Overall, we all enjoyed this trip including our college-aged kids.

Younes was a perfect guide. He had all kinds of information to share, he let our family go off for lunch together, and he even got us a little New Years gift. The car was a very nice Mercedes minivan. Having a private driver was better than a big tour bus. My kids ages 17 and 18 were with us. We ALL loved it. A great last day in Amsterdam. Younes even let us take our bags with us from the hotel and he dropped us off at the train station. Easy!

Eric was wonderful. Knowledgeable about the area. Professional and courteous and moved at our pace. The best tour we had in all of Amsterdam!
