The tour guy was informative, cool, and energetic. However, if you are looking for a cheaper way to visit these spots, you can definitely pick a bus from Amsterdam to Zaanse Schans for around 5-6 euros (one way). All viewings are for free inside the Zaanse Schans. Cheese making & tasting is for everyone visiting. Otherwise, if you are interested in detailed information, fun vibes, etc, then this tour is perfect for you.

Easy place for meeting. Your was brilliant from start to finish. Clog workshop demo and cheese factory demo by Barbara with samples and chance to buy cheese and accompaniments. Hot Chocolate was delish and to top it off walking through a working windmill was the highlight for me. Lots of walking to see everything but so pretty and such a beautiful place to visit. Thanks to our wonderful knowledgable guide Anna xx

Really worth and value for money experience to explore the North Holland. The time was more than enough in my opinion to enjoy everything: the areas, some drinks and food, local shopping etc Very clear instructions/information provided before we arrived to the check point and during the trip.

Great experience and highly recommended for families. It was nice that we could squeeze this trip at last minute which was super nice since we didn't plan the rest of the one-day trip to Amsterdam.

Really nice day trip, relaxing and with beautiful places.
