My mother, Daughter and I really enjoyed the trip. The bus ride was short, around 30 minutes. It was cold and very windy, but our guide was very knowledgeable and took us into different places to keep us out of the wind for long periods of time. The clogs, windmills and cheese were all wonderful places to visit.

Had a very interesting and enjoyable tour with David as our guide. The cheese, clogs and windmills parts of the tour were at the same location, but all 3 parts of the tour were covered well

Our guide was outstanding. We enjoyed seeing and learning about the windmills. Also, learning how the Gouda cheese and the clogs were made was very interesting. Great excursion.

Friendly group and wonderful guide. Lots of fun demonstrations. Enough shopping but not too much. Overall, great experience.

We had a great time. It was amazing to go up top of a windmill and see a real wooden shoe store and to see how they are made. And the cheese store was great too. And to see the original little green houses was great. And the guide we had was great and very informative, she was great.

It was worth the money and time. Going back in time to the 1700’s was educational and interesting. I highly recommend this tour.

A great tour. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Amsterdam. Working windmills were fascinating and we loved the coconut cheese and the wooden shoe demonstration.

I would have rated it as a 5,but it was just a bit rushed after a toilet stop. It was a wonderful experience, with a lovely guide called Toes. But an extra half hour to allow for a toilet stop, some shopping, or to grab a coffee on the run would have been appreciated.

Highly recommend it. We were able to go inside a windmill, up a ship ladder to see the inside giant gears and walk around the upper platform.
