Since it's a half day...

Michael_G, May 2026

Since it's a half day trip, you move fairly quickly from one stop to the next. One improves might be to have an actual demonstration of cheesemaking.

Response from Host, May 2026

Thank you! We’re happy you had a good experience and truly appreciate your suggestion to improve the cheesemaking part of the tour 🧀🌷 Warm greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱✨

Trip is just as advertised. Very different and very enjoyable experiences! Lovely! Did not disappoint!

Dennis_G, May 2026

We have never had a bad experience with Viator/Get Your Guide. They are always on time, right where they say they will meet you (but be sure ahead of time that you know where that is!), and on schedule for return trip. Their guides have always been very knowledgeable and entertaining. We highly recommend them! The 3 places we went on this tour were just as advertised. We enjoyed the cheese making lesson and really loved Volendam, fishing village. Be sure to get a plate of whatever seafood you choose (can mix & match—I got a mix of fried shrimp and fried fish bites) at the seafood truck on the harbor promenade. Take some time to stroll along the water.

Response from Host, May 2026

Thank you so much for your wonderful and detailed review! 😊 We’re very happy to hear that everything ran smoothly for you and that you enjoyed the organization, timing, and guidance throughout the tour. It’s great to know the cheese-making experience and Volendam stood out for you, and we’re glad you had time to explore the harbor and local seafood as well. We really appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again on another tour in the future! 🚐🇳🇱

Short & sweet Amsterdam highlights

Ji_Y, May 2026

Short and sweet itinerary to cover the highlights of Amsterdam outskirts within half day. Windmills, cheese and fishing village all together yet there is enough time to explore each at comfortable pace.

Response from Host, May 2026

Thank you for your lovely feedback! 😊 We’re happy you enjoyed the key highlights of the Amsterdam outskirts at a relaxed pace, including the windmills, cheese farm, and fishing village. Greetings from Amsterdam

Excellent day out

Richard_M, Apr 2026

A fun day out with plenty of time at each stop to experience the local sites. The driver was excellent, drove us all safely and had a friendly personality and made sure we were all safe. The windmills were a highlight and dining at the harbour Volendam was a joy.

Response from Host, May 2026

Thank you so much for your lovely review! 😊 We’re really happy you enjoyed the relaxed pace, the windmills, and Volendam. Great to hear you felt safe and well taken care of. Hope to welcome you again soon! 🌷

aside from a very cold...

lorelei_n, Nov 2025

aside from a very cold and windy day, the tour was really good. I prefer the information given prior to each stop and then gives you time after to tour on your own

Great Experience Learning About Dutch Culture!

Lena_K, Nov 2025

I really enjoyed this tour! The video guide was very informative and easy to follow while exploring the windmills, the cheese factory, and Volendam. Everything was well-organized and ran smoothly. The windmills were fascinating — it was amazing to see how they still work today. The cheese tasting was delicious, and Volendam was such a charming little town with beautiful views. Our driver was very friendly and helpful, and he made the trip even more enjoyable. The bus was comfortable and clean, which made the whole experience very pleasant. Overall, it was a wonderful way to experience traditional Dutch culture in just one day. I’d definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting the Netherlands!

Nice trip

Alea_B, Oct 2025

It was a very fun and wonderful trip. Although I've been there before, it was a different trip. I'd like to thank the driver for his interest and concern.
