The tour was fine but we were given the wrong address as to where we should have been picked up which caused a lot of stress . Otherwise it would have been a 4 or 5 star experience. The guide did go out of their way to finally pick us up but we missed the first part of the tour. They did bring us back to our hotel which wasn't expected.

Well thought out tour covering windmills, cheese tasting & clog making demonstrations all set amongst beautiful scenery. Guide Mickey was entertaining and informative.

We loved this tour! The whole team from our wonderful guides to the bus driver were very friendly, welcoming and organised. Being able to see and experience this unique part of the Netherlands in a compact tour time around 3 hours, was worth every $ and we would recommend to all.

This tour is great! Our guide actually lived there and was super knowledgeable. I recommend to anyone.

The coordination for the pick up was a disaster. They pick us up late and because we call them. The driver has the wrong information about the pick up time and the pick up place. But Bianka ( the tourist guide in zaanse schan) was amazing and the place is beautiful

The tour itself with Kenny was very good, however be careful regarding your tickets as ours was arranged with a Hotel pick up and confirmed with this stated on the tickets, but this did not happen.

Great experience and a great tour. Our guide was local and she gave some great insights into the area. We were picked up at our hotel and offered a ride to Amsterdam after the tour, if we wished. Highly recommend the tour.

interesting and short. It is worth it; the guide is very good. I recommend stopping in Zaandam first, as you can see the village in half an hour.
