Carly is the best! Very informative and learned a lot about each town and Dutch culture. Covered a lot of group and well-paced; felt like we spent enough time at each location.
This was an excellent tour with a fantastic guide. We covered so many things in one day. The pace was just right allowing us to capture and overview of all that this part of The Netherlands had to offer. I would highly recommend it!
Wonderful trip! I would describe this as a greater taster experience for traditional Dutch towns and windmills. I did not feel rushed and felt we saw each town with enough time however if you really like to go a slower pace this may not be the tour for you. Our tour guide Carli was amazing and gave great insights into Dutch culture, history and other great facts! Would recommend while visiting Amsterdam to find time for the day trip.
