I had a wonderful experience, learned a lot both from the audio recordings and our guides. The motor coach was very large, double decker, comfortable. I didn’t expect it to be that large and packed with fellow tourists in mid-February. If I went by myself I’d probably spend more time in each place, I guess I felt slightly rushed. We covered a lot of ground in short period of time. Our guides were extremely kind, helpful and knowledgeable! Very funny, too! Our driver was also super professional and supportive of all our needs. I’m not sure I could take care of everyone the way they did! Many thanks to the entire team, they were brilliant. If I went again, I’d have an early lunch before the trip or be prepared with some healthy snacks until the 3-4 pm. meal.

I saw that experience of the Windmills go, being inside one of them was great. Beautiful nature during the tour, Green pastures and beautiful cows and sheep. An unforgettable experience and one that we must see again when we return. Going to the Cheese Factory sailing to get there was incredible. Agustin a very good guide. Thank you

Be careful to arrive 30 minutes prior to the departure hour, although we still managed to go no the tour, despite arriving late (12:00 am) The bus is comfortable, audioguide worked in many languages and tour guides spoke different languages as well The main reason we are giving four stars, is because the lake of time in between the different attractions We would have liked a bitt more time to explore on our own, for example to take photos, buy souveniers or to see the surroundings a bit more As for the locals that presented the diverse factories, they were 5 stars, it was possible to understand how much they love the things that they do Highly recommended tour, views and landscapes were top notch and the tour also allowed us to understand more of the culture and history from Holland
