Leidse was awesome. Began before we ever met him. He texted, introduced himself and told us a little about himself. He was early to pick us up and mixed up the tour just so we’re could go to Giethoorn very early and it was wonderful. We loved it there in the quiet of the morning. He had special treats each time we came back to the van. Took the best care of us! Finally, my husband left his phone in the van and Leidse found it and let us know. He drove 45 minutes back to return it. The day tour was delightful but Leidse made it awesome.

This was a classic Dutch experience. If this is your first trip to the Netherlands and you want to do all the Dutch things, this is a great trip. Kai is the most pleasant guide! He added humor to the day and was extremely knowledgeable.

I booked this excursion for my elderly parents (76 and 74) and they thoroughly enjoyed the trip. The trip is suitable for all ages. It was a small group (6 pax) and the pace was great. The guide (Pete) went out of his way to explain various things. The offered a hotel pick up which we didnt use as the central pick up was conveniently close, but the shared live location during the time of pick up was a great feature to know when to expect to be picked up. Overall great!!

Kai was an excellent guide. Arrived to pick us up very promptly and did an excellent job keeping the tour organized and well paced. Enjoyed the boat tour, restaurant, and the beautiful scenery in the villages. The demonstrations of the making of the cheeses and wooden shoes were also interesting.

Leidse is an amazing tour guide & he made this day trip incredible - his knowledge, information, suggestions where to go on our 'own time', helpful to take parcels back to the vehicle so we didn't have to carry around, was captain of our boat in Giethoorn- simply the best! Each of these stops were so memorable & thought I had seen everything around Amsterdam but such was not the case. Bonus with the tour, hotel pick up! This day was one of our highlights on our trip & highly recommend 👌 Thank you once again Leidse!
