Worth the day trip
Be prepared for a long day. Tour guide was great and knowledgable. Unfortunately the day we went it was foggy the entire day so by the time we got to Zaanse Schans for the boat tour it was so cold and you really could not see anything. A little surprised that there were no lights on the boat for safety purposes. Even though we had bad weather I would still do the tour.

A delightful breath of the Netherlands
Both Keukenhof and Zaanse Schans Windmills filled us with the taste of the Netherlands history, beauty, products and culture. The private tour made the experience personal despite the busy tourist day.!

Excellent trip.
It's a great experience. We got the whole essence of the Netherlands with that trip. Our guide Jay was very knowledgeable and funny. His english is very good and clear. We stopped on the way back to see a tulip farm and did some fruit shopping in an organic farm shop which were bonus for us. Both Zaanse Schans and Geithoorn are two unique places and we are fortunate to visit both on our trip to Amsterdam.
I highly recommend anyone visiting Amsterdam to take this day trip.

Wonderful experience!!...
Wonderful experience!! Juan was the best tour guide that taught us so many things about Zaanse Schans, Edam, Volendam and Marken. He made each stop so fun and interesting with all the stories he told us. It was relatable for adults but also our children. Glen was an amazing driver who was also so kind to everyone when they were going on and off the bus! These were PERFECT stops to make to learn about the history of Netherlands but also see the beautiful countryside.

Tiptoe through the tulips 🌷
From start to finish, a wonderful day! Our tour guides, Diana and Denis, were excellent and kept us all entertained and well informed during the bus ride. I’m always so grateful for the history lessons, so we really get a sense of the place we are visiting. We hit the Keukenhof at the perfect time and everything was in full bloom. Just breathtaking. Zaanse Schans was also such a treat. So much history and charm. Would highly recommend!

Worth it to do Private
We had a great tour with Gillio. He was very knowledgable and kept us ahead of the big crowds all day. Well worth it to do a private tour. Beautiful area the windmills were a highlight for sure!

Amazing Experience.
A must see. The tulips were colorful and beautifully arranged…so much variety. Our driver/guide Steve was very personable and extremely knowledgeable. He was accommodating in taking time for photo stops and took us to working tulip farms as well as to Keukenhof. We had plenty of time to spend at Keukenhof. The village with the working windmills was interesting. The entire experience was amazing! Highly recommend this tour.

Windmills and canals
We saw Zaanse Schans and Geithoorn. Both were beautiful and fun. We liked tasting the cheese at the cheese shop and really enjoyed seeing the windmills in Zaanse Schans. We really enjoyed the canal cruise in Geithoorn and thought the entire area was beautiful. We had plenty of time to see everything and go on our own also. Reisien was a great guide and made everything enjoyable. I also liked the small group.
