“We had a great day. Giethoon was very crowded so I would try to go on a weekday if possible. There was not enough participation for what we booked so they upgraded us to a stop at the windmills, cheese tasting and clog making demo also. It was well worth the extra time. There is a 1.5 hour ride to Giethoon from Amsterdam so be prepared for that. They went above and beyond for us to make another appointment and we really appreciated the assistance. Great tour company!”

Day trip from Amsterdam to Bruges: guided tour, 3 hours free time, bilingual bus commentary, and a Michelangelo stop.
“Bruges is fantastic. This trip is s long time in a bus, about 3.5 each direction from Amsterdam, but we still had five hours in Bruges. The tour provider is a Spanish company, but if you buy the English tour, your guide will speak in both languages. When we got to Bruges, the groups separated for a two hour tour with separate guides. Bruges is not to be missed! Buildings from the 13th century, wonderful food and chocolate, and so much to see and learn. If you love history, a guide is well worth it. The tour company is not the most organized, but everything went fine and our driver…”
