Cheese, Clogs, and Boats

Published on Mar, 2025

Such a fun day trip:) our guide Leidse was very knowledgeable and interactive for every stop of the day. It is a long drive if you have little ones just as a warning.

A wonderful day in The Netherlands

Published on Mar, 2025

Leidse was a great guide for this day-long trip. He was very friendly, engaging, thoughtful, and informative. He took us to a charming Dutch village, showed us the dike, took us to “Goat’s Horn” in the north for lunch and a boat ride through a time capsule of a small village where waterways are the main mode of transportation. He provided us with water, Dutch candy and Stroopwafels along the way as well as great stories about Dutch history. Highly recommend this experience!

Well run tour! I took this tour today with Eric as our tour guide and had a great time. Eric was very entertaining and dig a great job helping everything run smoothly, despite some delays at lunch. He was full of information and very funny. We had a great time in Giethoorn and Zaanse Schans.

A memorable experience with Eric

Published on Mar, 2025

Giethoorn is a must see when in the Netherlands. We had a wonderful time with Eric as our guide teaching us about everything we were seeing. He also had many great stories to share that enriched the tour. He’s very knowledgeable about everything related to the area and all the fun things to know about.
