Very enjoyable afternoon seeing the countryside, shops, and windmills. We felt like another hour or so would have made the afternoon a little more enjoyable, as even thought we were able to see everything, we felt like we had to rush through a bit. Tour guide was nice. Thought it was funny when she recommended we see the Peter The Great house - she was surprised we went to see it as she had never actually seen it herself.

We had a fantastic day today. Our tour guide Amanda was amazing, explaining everything to our small English group. Gave great information on the tour and general recommendations. The tour itself was very enjoyable, with free time to roam. The coach was brilliant very comfortable and luxurious
Holly was very good. Driver (Rico) should have turned on the A/C when there were people on board waiting to leave. It was stinking hot. Also, dont wait for late people- it’s not the guide’s fault at all.
It was excellent! The guides were really nice, we had 2 languages: Spanish and English. The town is close to Amsterdam and it is an open museum.
It was difficult to understand the guide because his accent was so heavy.
the tour worth trying, nice experience, accurate timing with the give schedule. Tour guide " Anna" was helpful and friendly. Amazing trip for a great money value
Amanda was a lovely guide, she had interesting information, we were also treated to listening in English and Spanish. Great quality bus with a friendly and safe driver Jose:)
Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and multilingual. She was well organized and informative. Thanks
The tour was well organised with stops to Edam and Volendam before reaching the final destination of Zaanse Schans. The coach was comfortable. Our tour guide Holly was friendly and very informative, giving us commentaries along the way.
A unique experience. Most due while you visit Amsterdam. Amanda was nice and professional. Answered all my questions gracefully. Just enough time to visit the whole area and shop
The best tour I have attended, very enjoyable with a knowledgeable guide. Took us to all the best sites around Amsterdam.
Excellent experience and special thanks to Annabelle the guide for making our day. We could not understand Spanish commentary but she was kind enough to explain me in English every time. She works with lot of passion and energy. The trip was well organized and professional. Also 3 cheers to the Dutch driver Mr. Buddha for his courteousness.
This excursion had to be cancelled due to bad weather. Initially the agency said it would take place but as the weather forecast became worse they cancelled. I am waiting for a refund now. They were right to cancel the activity, the weather really turned bad. I look forward to take this excursion in a future trip.
Positive points: The guide was very friendly and kind. During the trip, she gave us a history lesson on the Netherlands. It was informative. Two-part excursion with demonstrations of traditional shoe and cheese making at the Willing family farm. Negative points: The bus driver departing from Amsterdam didn't even bother to respond to our greeting when we got on the bus. We had a doubt about whether it was the right bus or not! He just kept tapping away on his phone. Lack of professionalism and contemptuous... Phase 2 of the useless excursion. The title is catchy "lego house" but in reality it is a hotel (admittedly atypical) located on the outskirts of an open-air shopping center. So it is possible to access it by public transport because it is near Amsterdam. Wait of about twenty minutes at the end of the excursion because the bus driver was not there... not great in the sun! Overall it was good.
The tour meets the minimum requirements; you can visit the same attractions on your own, but with the tour you are accompanied by bus to all the stops.
Today we participated in the “Zaanse Schans, Edam, Volendam and Marken” tour; here in the Netherlands. 🇳🇱 My husband, Tufano Cataldo, and I had a lot of fun; wonderful places with an extraordinary history. Aromas and flavors of wonderful places. We are very grateful to our guide, in Spanish, the very fun and friendly "Fanni". He told us every little detail about the cities visited. He made us smile and dream with his stories. We advise everyone to trust this tourism company and choose her, Fanni, as a guide.✨❤️🔥🤩
Very good information, Silvia a great professional and very attentive with everything, keeps giving interesting information. A 10 for the guide
Everything closed at 5pm and we were kept waiting for the bus until 6am cold dead. The supposed demonstration of cheese making was a simple and short talk.
It is an excellent plan I recommend to do it, the place where we have good ratio and price, very friendly, punctual and the guide Fernando a great charisma
I loved the experience, the beautiful places, and especially the pieces of professionals who accompanied us, both Jose "el de graná" the driver and Dani "el de Jaén" the guide, super friendly and friendly. I recommend it 100%
We loved the tour. Rafael was a very patient person and very detailed in telling every part of the story. We were delighted with the place
The best decision was to see taken with this company our excursion to the mills Zaanse, Edan and Volendam everything was great, the Guide who is called Enrique exceeded our expectations very well explained everything and most importantly very friendly
It was a good opportunity to get to know something more rural, but at the same time see how to keep the traditional in operation.
Andrea, the guide, was excellent, as well as explaining super well is very friendly and predisposed. Chameleon changed our starting point, the weather in the villages was better than indicated. Too bad, I deserved to spend more time and not do everything in a hurry.
A highly recommended excursion. Getting to know the cities on the outskirts of Amsterdam is even more interesting than Amsterdam itself (which is already beautiful). Fernando most. He gave us an unforgettable day.
We were joined by Juanmi!! Excellent and very complete treatment the trip we made to the Mills, very attentive, friendly and respectful!! A thousand times I would make this recommendation to my traveling friends
The guide was extraordinary, she has total control of the group, she has a knowledge beyond everything, she has to be a historian, she lives her work, it was a wonderful excursion thanks Eirian, the lasso girl (by the way I loved her dress), very beautiful (excellent in her appearance) we are from Puerto Rico.....
Spectacular excursion with chameleon tours , thank you endless for Laura's attention in the office by phone and for the amazing guide Facundo !!!! My daughters were delighted and it is not easy to entertain two girls aged 11 and 13 during a long excursion .It was very funny and culturally enriching .We will repeat whenever we can and recommend you much.
Delighted with the tour! Very well used despite the time. And Facundo an artist, fun and professional !!! We will repeat with other tours
It's worth it. Wonderful and the guides a charm.. we had a super great time.. thank you for everything and for such a good job everything very organized
Very good excursion, the guides were very competent and knowledgeable of everything. It was very well organized and with a short but full duration
We have made an excursion from Amsterdam to Edam, Volendam, Marken and the North Holland Mills. It's been a great day despite the heavy weather. Sergio lives it and makes you feel the Netherlands, its history, geography and food in a magical way. He's really passed it on and made us live. Thank you for this wonderful day. We recommend it 100%
Zaanse Schans tour with Silvia was excellent. The bus, first class, good driver and very prudent. The places we visited were beautiful and the history of the place, wonderful. The Swedish factory and the mills, the hot chocolate, will be unforgettable. Our Silvia Guide knows the story as a teacher, was friendly and made us the fantastic trip. It is a short tour, but it is made the most of. Silvia, Hugo and Miguelina from Dominican Republic send a big greeting. We recommend this tour 100%.
The places super nice and picturesque and very well explained the visit to the cheese shop to the village of Márquen Bolandam los Molinos
A pesar de que no salió un día radiante, la excursión vale la pena. Muy bonito todo! Viajamos una pareja con tres jovencitas y lo pasamos fenomenal todos.
Silvia and Pedro majisimos! We really liked the excursion, Silvia was very friendly and Pedro has been very good driver
We loved Zaanse Schans, we lacked a little time to enjoy the place more. Mr. Pedro a good driver and Andrea, the guide, a friendly, professional and super friendly girl.
Everything seemed perfect for the price. Good guide and lovely place. I really liked this excursion, although it got short... I would have stayed longer there!!!
Excursion very well organized and 100% recommended. The places to visit are very close to Amsterdam, so you do not tire. The amazing mills and the very nice villages.
A place that transports you to another time! The spectacular guide very completes the explanation and very enjoyably! 100% recommended.
All right, Miguel the phenomenal guide, he told us the whole story very well, we saw the mills, how the clogs and cheese making are made. All great.
Super recommended! I shot the guide a 10 and Zaanse Schans loved it! Compulsory excursion if you travel to Amsterdam.
We had a great time, the guide Edu very friendly and everything very nice. If you are going to Amsterdam contact Camaleon
Excellent. The super attentive and fun guide. The beautiful landscapes, the delicious cheeses. I recommend it.
Very nice tour, all on time without setbacks. We had a great day and the guide Blas of 10....
Very well organized with Blas, a guide who told many things Interesting and he was also a very nice guy
Fantastic excursion, all very nice. Thank you Dani, for your magnificent guide, you communicated super well, with lots of data, lots of sympathy, without you the experience would not have been the same.
My experience was amazing everything spectacular and Andrea de malaga guide a crack for me one of the best guide I have met close very attentive and very professional without a doubt a 10
It was an amazing experience thanks to our guide Dani, a very friendly and attentive boy. We were delighted with it as I explain everything super well and in a very bearable way and without leaving any details. He also made us the free tour of the city of Amsterdam and just like the excursion we were delighted with it. And of course Amsterdam and its surroundings are great and beautiful! Thanks Daniel and team!
As soon as we left the meeting point we found works on the road so the road was cut off, the bus was trapped in the sand trying to turn around, they made us get off the bus to maneuver and get the bus out of there (I think before leaving the agency would have to check the status of the itinerary). On top of that the driver without gps had to go around a few times looking for another itinerary. That day it was very hot but the air conditioning shone through its absence, we were roasted like chickens practically all the way and to top it off the microphone did not work so those of us in the back did not hear anything that explained the guide. Certainly bad experience. Also add that the explanations of the guide were not accurate, it was not understood what he wanted to explain, lack of vocabulary because he was not Spanish. A mess. Of course we are left with very bad memories of this excursion.
