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.”

Private Royal Tour from Amsterdam to Paleis Het Loo and Castle Muiderslot with guide, tickets, and air-conditioned pickup.

“This was an excellent tour, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to see sites outside of Amsterdam. Our guide, Gopi, was very knowledgeable, polite and professional. He gave us lots of information about the sites we visited along the way. His car was clean and he's and excellent driver. Paleis Het Loo was very impressive and is comparable to other top palaces in Europe. Despite its massive size, it wasn't overly busy with tourists, unlike most of the sites in Amsterdam. Castle Muiderslot was a much older, more rustic castle that was also neat to see. This tour made it possible to visit wonderful sites outside Amsterdam…”
