Top Netherlands Bus Tours

Great experience, the tour guide, Rainier, was kind, easygoing and very good at what he does; the tour was well organized; they tour company contacted you a day before to confirm your hotel and pick up time: the guide gave an overview of the itinerary after everyone was picked up; it was a small group of 6 passengers; the car was very comfortable, and Rainer answered everyone’s question with enthusiasm. You can see he truly enjoys his job. I would highly recommend this tour and this tour operator.

Simon was our driver/tour guide and he was great. He adjusted the schedule so that we were able to enjoy our tour and avoid the crowds at Geithoorn. Zane’s Schans was done in the afternoon. I don’t think it would have made any difference when we were there. It’s just a huge tourist destination especially on the holiday. Simon also was able to find us some tulip fields to photograph as well as stop at the Lego village for pictures. Simon is a very knowledgeable guide as well as his English is perfect.

If you’re thinking about doing a day trip from Amsterdam—do it. This Day Trip to Zaandam Lego Village, Zaanse Schans, and Giethoorn was easily one of the highlights of our trip. Zaandam was such a fun and unexpected stop—the Lego-style architecture feels like something out of a storybook. Walking through Zaanse Schans was like stepping back in time, with its iconic windmills, wooden houses, and live demonstrations. It didn’t feel rushed at all—we actually had time to take it in, grab photos, and enjoy the atmosphere. And then Giethoorn… wow. Giethoorn is every bit as magical as people say. The canals, thatched-roof cottages, and peaceful vibe made it feel like a fairytale. Cruising through the waterways was incredibly relaxing and honestly unforgettable. What really made the day stand out, though, was Simon. He was knowledgeable, organized, and genuinely passionate about what he does. He shared great insights without overwhelming us, kept everything running smoothly, and added a personal touch that made the whole experience feel special—not just like a generic tour. If you want a well-paced, beautiful, and stress-free way to see some of the Netherlands’ most charming spots, this tour is absolutely worth it. Highly recommend!
