Lovely trip. Had loads of fun thanks to Ian . Stef and Modesta. Ian and Stef entertained us throughout..laughed so hard and loved piano breaks as well from Stef. Highly recommend this tour. Thank you Ian and Stef
We thoroughly enjoyed the first half of this tour that took us to the Windmills, Shoe Factory and Cheese store! However, after visiting all of these venues we were too tired to take the extra 5 hours to go to Delft and The Hague. I guess we were over zealous when we booked this trip 6 months ago. We were happy it was actually two tours combined and we were able to re-book other tours for the next day in exchange for the afternoon tour. Thank you Viator!
excellent service with good guide and nicely organized the trip ...it is done professionally and time management was good too !
It was a nice opportunity to see interesting sites outside of Amsterdam, but it was also very focused on stops that urged us to buy things. I would have much more enjoyed seeing the city of Delft than the factory, The stop in Hague was hardly worth it, just a quick drive by. I also didn't realize that I was signing up for 2 different tours that took time out of the day to return to the Central Station and change buses, etc. Madurodam was charming. The tour guides did a nice job, buses were clean and nice.
The tour was worth all the money! The sides were exactly on time, though some of my friends pass by the coffeeshop before the tour, they were patient to wait for my friends and took them to the meeting place. The fist stop was Marken, we saw how they make the clogs, I didn't buy anything - its too expensive. The took us to Volendam with he boat, and went to the cheese factory, here - I spent a lot! Reasonable price then, the windmills. The morning tour lasted only 5 hours but very good tour, highly recommended. We went to our afternoon tour, we stopped by the Deft - home of the luxurious Royal Deft - so expensive piece of ceramic. We stopped by the city center where we get to eat snacks / lunch - Out time wasn't enough for this, though there's a lot to explore. We went to the Hague, the business center of the Netherlands, we stopped by the Royal Palace and our final destination, the highlight of the tour MADURODAM! - The entrance fee was free and we were able to see Netherlands in miniature. Overall the trip was good, educational and we saw glimpse of Netherlands, Theres so much to see, so much to learn. The guides were knowledgeable, patient, humorous and helpful. Highly recommended.
Great morning trip to Voldendam (cheese tour), cruise to Market, and visit to the windmills. Would have been great to have more time at the windmills themselves, but it was a great morning. Our guide, Rick, was outstanding. Couldn't have been friendlier and more engaging. Our afternoon was spent at Madurodam, driving through the Hague, and in Delft. The Delft Factory tour was very interesting as was walking around the town of Delft. We did not stop anywhere in the Hague to take pictures or get out so this was a downside. All in all, great day, but plan for very little time to eat and bring your own snacks.
Super informative, def behind the scenes and very well worth skipping the long wait and getting right into it.
