I really did enjoy this tour. really interesting. Loved the clog factory and cheese factory. Great souvenir shopping in Volendam. Tour guide was hard to understand. Weather was terrible. I think the guide was very frustrated due to it

This tour was exactly what prior reviews stated and I expected. Great to view the countryside, if you only have a short period of time here. Lots of souvenir options, but no pressure to buy, if you're not inclined.

While the country side is beautiful, the quaint villages are overrun by tourist attractions and stores with junk. The commercialism is in your face everywhere you go. As for the tour itself, our guide began by scolding people for talking. He had no personality and mostly lectured about water management. At the very touristy cheese shop there were actually some areas where we could see the animals and he just didn’t tell us - a guide from another tour did. I would not recommend this tour.

Terrific day visiting the three areas. Edam was quite crowded and we missed some of the tour because we were separated from our group, but still a fun day.

Our family really enjoyed this trip, our favorites included villages of Edam and Vollendam. We thought the visit at the windmills was too long and seemed like a tourist trap, would have preferred time at the other places . Santiago was a great guide, funny and knowledgeable !

The scenery was beautiful. The windmills were glorious up close and personal. Edam was quick and rushed. Every place needed more time. The itinerary was not what was listed. The driver was amazing.

Nice day out. Our guide Harold was a lot of fun and provided just the right amount of academia to support each location we visited. Harold also did a nice job accommodating us during an unfortunate series or frigid rain downpours. Overall - highly recommend this 6 hour outing.
