Really enjoyed our time with Remco! He was super easy to communicate with before the tour, and easy to find when he picked us up at the airport. His car was very nice. He drove us all around the countryside and showed us some dikes, dairy farms, windmills, canals, lots of pastures, etc. It was so peaceful in the countryside. We saw lots of animals, including sheep, cows, horses, goats, chickens, even a few turkeys. We stopped at a dairy farm to taste the milk. Then we stopped at our request at the cheese and wood shoemaking factory. This was a really fun visit! It was a little touristy, but more authentic than the other places I had been our previous visits to Amsterdam. There were not hordes of people! We learned all about the cheese-making process and how they make wooden shoes. They had a very nice gift shop where we purchased our souvenirs and tasted lots and lots of cheeses. We tried to stop at a dairy farm and pet the sheep, but they were afraid of us and ran away. Remco told us lots of stories about growing up in the area and how much it has changed. He was very personable and fun to be around. We really enjoyed our day with him and highly recommend this tour!
