We had great weather and a comfortable ride on the bus. Our tour guide Jolanda was excellent . Gave us very comprehensive information of all the sights and even the culture and history of the country . Our driver Dick was very skillful and careful . . He was kind and charged my dead phone while the bus was on the road back . Appreciate both of them and highly recommend this tour!

They oversold the tickets. We were told to come back the next day. We asked for a refund. Someone in the office should start using an adding machine.

I highly recommend this tour and would do it again! First, I really appreciated the convenience of being bussed everywhere. Second, I appreciated the smaller cheese and clog tour vs. at the Zaanse Schans windmills, which was super crowded. The host (Steban) at the family run cheese and clog tour was hilarious and entertaining and included a cheese tasting and wooden clog making demonstration. And, then, of course, the Keukenhof garden was beautiful.

It was a bit stressful to find the meeting place ‘coz our hotel was not near the centraal station.
Overall the tour was great & we had a great time despite the weather ( rainy, windy & some hail).

Fabulous value for this excursion from Amsterdam. Showed up at 9 returned around 5:30. Keukenhof was fabulous, tour arrived early enough in the day that it wasn’t so packed. Was much more crowded when we left at 1pm. If you’re traveling from abroad this is a very easy way to go see the park.
Zaanze Schans was a bit more of just a tourist trap—very cool to see clog making and windmills, but if I were doing it again I would skip this portion of the outing. No fault of the tour group, we just were not expecting the unpleasant level of crowds at Zaanze Schans.
Irma was lovely and kept us all in line and on time!
