Great tour of the countryside

Steve_S, Aug 2025

Our tour guide Leander, was both personable and knowledgeable about his country. He took us to several small villages and the windmills. Went inside one of the windmills to see a working sawmill powered only via wind.

Great Countryside tour of Amsterdam

Very nice small tour. Our guide was extremely knowledgable and we saw and learned a lot. I would recomend this tour to anyone who has a half day and wants to see the countryside. The windmills were amazing, we got to go inside and see the workings.

Wonderful Tour guide, wonderful tour

Leander, Our personable Dutch tour guide provided informative commentary throughout the trip. Scenic views of windmills inland sea, farmland, villages cheese tasting, wooden shoes, apple pie. Leanders connections at all of our destinations made for smooth transitions from location to location. The small personal tour group was great! The apple pie was delicious, the wood sawmill was fascinating and the panoramas so charming.
