Unforgettable Zaanse Schans: Windmills & Cheese from Amsterdam

Rick (guide) & Theo (driver) were great. Small walk from meeting point to the bus, but it didn’t take long to get to our destination. Cheese demo & tasting as a group, and then free time to wander and investigate the windmills, small houses, shops etc. We met up again for the clog making dem o& then a bit more free time before meeting back at the bus. Rick was informative & funny and could appreciate that people wanted to wander around themselves.

The place itself is beautiful and great to get out of the city, it is a tourist location however on our day the tourists weren’t so many, which made for a pleasant day. There was a bit of a walk to the bus which was fine for us, we did find the tourists weren’t guide felt he had to talk the whole time on the bus and repeated himself a lot. I would suggest that once the clog demonstration ( done with a lath machine not authentic clog making) is done that the group not have to wait for others to make souvenir purchases as there is free time after the cheese making demonstration.

Very pleasant and helpful tour guide. This is a good way to see the key tourist points and get the tourist experience in a short time.

A nice place to visit - obviously touristy but quite beautiful and fun. Our guide (Evelyn?) was fabulous and shared a lot of knowledge about the area and Dutch culture.

We had great difficulty hearing our guide who often left us in her wake. In the village we lost her completely. The focus of the tour was too much towards the clog and cheese factories and we were wanting far greater emphasis on windmills

We had a great guide and it was a fun outing. The coach was comfortable and we had plenty of time to look around.

Prepare for any type of weather but being there is fantastic Visiting the old windmill towns is worth the entire trip

Our guide Anna was excellent, giving us information all along the tour. A wonderful experience. I would highly recommend this tour.

Our guide and driver were very good, dealing with a delay due to a traffic accident professionally. The tour has a single destination with the windmills - very impressive - and the clog & cheese making informative but brief. Possibly a little too much time allocated outside those activities.

A little disappointing. The weather wasn't great, but the demonstration of how the clogs are made was very brief and there wasn't adequate seating for the number of visitors.
