“The overall trip was great. However more toilet stops needed on the way and you need to mention that change is needed for some areas to use the toilets. Also need to mention there are places to get food from on the tour. More time was needed in Marken. Overall feel like be tour should have been a bit longer to enjoy each place a bit more.”

“molta bella l'escursione ad Edam ( dettagliata ed esauriente ) ; un pò veloci i passaggi a Volendam e marken ( immagino per il ritardo in partenza dovuto al disguido dell'appuntamento ) ; consiglio di confermare l'appuntamento con una mail due tre giorni prima da parte della società ; i posti sono davvero belli ma da approfondire con più tempo a disposizione”

Visited a couple churches in the town, cheese factory and witnessed the making of wooden shoes. Loved going into the windmill museum to see how the families lived in them years past. Learned about the intricate water systems and how the Netherlands lead the world in water management. Enjoyed our lunch in Merken with our guide.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 5 reviews · 10 hours · from $294

Small group day trip from Amsterdam to Texel by ferry, explore Waddensea UNESCO, beaches and villages with a guide.

“Very stressfree but interesting island activity with a highly professional guide. It felt very good to do this activity after doing other more crowded and stressful tours in the previous days because it was very calming to get out of the city and the tourist hotspots. the beautiful scenery of walking along the sandy shores and muddy flats felt amazing. The food recommended by the guide was very good and there were local specialities available. Visiting the local village was beautiful too. Definitely worth coming to Texel, especially with this guide!”

9.Full-day excursion to Edam, Volendam, and Marken

★★★★★★★★★★3.7 · 3 reviews · 7 hours · from $212

Full-day trip to Edam, Volendam and Marken with cheese museum, stroopwafels, wooden shoes, churches, canal cruise and WWII stops.

“The tour guide picked us up and then put us on another tour on a bus with a different guide. That tour would have been less than half the cost of this one. It stopped in Zaanse Schans which was not on the schedule for this one. Not sure if we had a weird experience because the guide we booked was going on vacation herself or she was leading another tour today (we were told both things). But I would not recommend this tour and at this price and would recommend just booking the big tour on your own.”
