We so enjoyed the one-on-one attention from Sonny, our driver. He knew how to avoid the crowds and waited on us when we wanted to shop. We enjoyed every stop and would've like to have spent more time in each place, but we understood the the constraints of tour time.

Tour is extremely light in content. It was a waste of time and money. Experience was well below expectations and price!

The private trip guided by Saymon was a pleasure to say the least. A relaxing self paced tour of Windmills, Cheese Factory & Fishing village. Thank you Saymon!!

Seeing a working windmill was very interesting. We wished more of the windmills were operable and open to view.

We booked this private tour with high expectations. The transportation was superb. Our guide was good but not great. Of the 7 windmills at the same place, only one was available without addition 5 Euro charge for each. The demonstration of making wooden shoes by machine was interesting and set a stage for the next stop where we saw them made by hand. There we were also given a talk about how cheese is made in this small factory. Very interesting, We drove to another town and had a delicious lunch. After that, we went to a terribly tacky tourist trap of a town where there was nothing but junk. This was a total waste of time in our opinion.

Our guide and driver for the day, David, was a wealth of information about the places we visited. OK, so we basically visited many of the tourist hot spots near Amsterdam, but the extra cost was well worth it. At the start of our visit at the windmills, the weather was a bit drizzly, but before we could grab a raincoat, David was there with a pair of umbrellas for us to use. Such service. Apart from the "being there" moments, a true highlight was the visit to the Cheese and Clog workshop. Impressive demo on how clogs are made by hand and a taste test of the various cheeses was enough for us to purchase a small example to bring home with us... unfortunately, baggage weight restrictions prevented us from purchasing a pair of clogs this time. Overall, we would highly recommend this private tour. cheers
