Our guide, David, was very good. This was a great tour. The wooden shoes an ne cheese demos were good and the windmills were worth the cost. Zaanse Schans is such a cute place. We were not rushed and the weather was perfect.

This was a quick, easy excursion. Very informative discussions about the little village paint colors. Got to go into a windmill and climb to the top. Really nice. The clog making was interesting and a small presentation on making Gouda cheese was nice. Loved the history. David was our guide and he provided great insight into all points of interest. He was very personable and discussed additional Dutch history and culture. Highly recommend David as your guide.
Would recommend to anyone looking for some history of the windmills and clog making.

What a great experience. Callum was the best guide and we got to experience so many things in a short time. So glad
We went with a tour and didn’t try and do on our own. Another great experience with Viator.

Surprised that windmills and houses are all part of one collective
Need more than 3 hours. Clog making demo great. Interior of windmill and view from top well worth effort/time

Excellent guide, who made sure a lost participant wasn't left behind. Her commentary was clear and complete. Very good driver. Uneven surfaces to watch out for. Try to avoid weekends and holidays - can get quite crowded.

Great place to visit for an authentic feel and photo opportunities. Cute village tk explore, good tour guide, clog making and cheese making demonstrations were short but fine but no opportunities to get involved directly. Can try lots of different cheese, couple of shops to explore and buy snacks, about 90p to use the toilet. Can go into a windmill and take in the view on the balcony. Lovely 3 hours spent, would recommend.
