Zaanse Schans Windmills, Clogs and Dutch Cheese Small-Group Tour from Amsterdam

Kimberly_P, May 2026

Great history of windmills in Holland

Liz was an amazing tour guide! She was very informative, friendly and accommodated the experience for the group that was with her. Seeing the windmills and learning of the history about their uses, how they were moved to the new location, and discovering the cultural background of the village were fascinating. This is a great introduction tour, and allows you the opportunity to explore more if you want to go back on your own. In spite of the tunnel being closed on our return back, she was able to maneuver a new route and keep the conversation going.

Day Trip to Zaanse Schans, Edam, Volendam and Marken from Amsterdam

Joanne_M, May 2026

Great Tour

We really enjoyed our tour to Zaanse Schans today. Our tour guide Miguel was great and explained about the windmills, how the area is all reclaimed land and we even got to go inside a windmill. Edam was good with the cheese factory and clog making and the stop for lunch at Volendam was scenic. Our only regret was that we hadn't worn jumpers and it was quite cold and windy. Highly recommend.

Amsterdam All-Inclusive 90-Minutes Canal Cruise by Captain Jack

Susan_G, May 2026

Fun to be on the water

I highly recommend the Captain Jack Amsterdam Canal Cruise for a fun and informative way to experience the city. Our guide, Lon, was incredibly entertaining and did a fantastic job explaining the history of Amsterdam in an engaging and easy-to-follow way. The cruise gave us a great overall sense of the city while still being relaxing and enjoyable. The drinks and snacks were plentiful, which made the experience even better. It was the perfect mix of sightseeing, learning, and having a good time on the water. We did the nighttime cruise which made the city twinkle with all the bridges lit up, but I’m sure the daytime cruise would be just as wonderful. Definitely a highlight of our trip!

She pointed out such beautiful details in architecture and history that we would not have picked out otherwise. Thank you, Dace!!

Amsterdam 2 Hour Small-Group Canal Cruise with Dutch Snacks & Bar

Patricia_G, Apr 2026

Relax & Enjoy!

Such a great relaxing evening after a day of touring! The captain was engaging and informative and the snacks and availability of drinks was a nice touch. I especially liked that you could stay inside or enjoy unobstructed views from the outside area at the back of the boat. Great for picture taking! Such a different perspective seeing the homes and incredible bridges from the canals. And being eye level with all the fabulous house boats was probably my favorite part. Amsterdam looked even more amazing during sunset and the nearly two hour cruise went by way too quickly. Highly recommend!
