When we arrived he guided us through the area, a walk of about a kilometer, to show us how to get to the main square.

“Poor communication as to where to meet. Very stressful finding the place where the bus was parked, The guide changed the order of visits to town and did Delft first.

Poor communication about what we were to see and the Peace Palace seen in the dark so no photos.”

Review of Amsterdam’s small-group trip to Zaanse Schans and Giethoorn, with windmills, cheese, clogs, canals, practical tips, and value advice.
“We had an incredible day exploring Zaanse Schans and Giethoorn with David. Everything was perfectly organized, and he stayed flexible throughout—adjusting the schedule to avoid rain and keep the day running smoothly. We beat the crowds at Zaanse Schans, watched a clog-making demo, and had time to wander and explore the windmills. David offered great tips at the cheese shop and even snapped photos for us. Despite the rain in Giethoorn, he timed our canal tour perfectly so we didn’t get wet. A quick detour to a local farmers’ market added a lovely personal touch. With just 8 people in the group, the whole day felt intimate and relaxed. Highly…”
