Reinier was an amazing tour guide! We had such a wonderful and enjoyable day. He was very friendly, kind, professional, and had a great personality. He made the whole experience fun, comfortable, and memorable. We truly enjoyed the trip and would highly recommend him to anyone visiting the area. Definitely one of the best tour guides! Highly recommended! ⭐️
The experience was exceptional and the guide was able to create an environment that is unique and engaging without sacrificing the quality and timeliness of each location we visited. We have ample time for our lunch and we did not feel rushed
Our tour guide Erik was fabulous. He arrived promptly and was very attentive to the guests. He is knowledgeable and you can tell he takes great pride in his country and culture. The experience was well worth it.
Leidse 是一位非常專業的導遊兼司機。他的解說內容豐富且引人入勝,讓我們不僅欣賞到美景,也學到了許多當地的歷史與文化知識。整個行程安排流暢,服務細心周到,總是主動關心團員的需求。非常感謝他的付出,讓這趟旅程留下美好的回憶。希望下次再訪時,還能由 Leidse 擔任我們的導遊! Leidse is an excellent driver and a fantastic tour guide. His commentary was lively, engaging, and full of insightful information, making the entire journey both enjoyable and informative. He provided exceptional service throughout the trip and was always attentive to our needs. We were very impressed by his professionalism, friendliness, and dedication. We sincerely hope to have Leidse as our tour guide again in the future.
We had an absolutely wonderful experience on our one-day tour! Our guide Leidse was outstanding , knowledgeable, friendly, professional and genuinely passionate about sharing the beauty, history and culture of the village. Thank you for making our day so special and memorable. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide! Highly recommended to anyone looking for a fantastic tour experience.
It's a relax and many things to see trip. I highly recommend this small group tour outside of Amsterdam. The windmill, cheese & clog factory are good. Highlights was at Geithhoorn, cute cottage and the boat ride was great. Thumbs up to the tour guide.
Great day trip for a sampling of the scheduled sights, and we lucked out with no rain and no crowds. Our guide, Reinier, was awesome - very informative both in the van and on site, quite attentive, and a great sense of humor!
The villages are good overall. Kai is a nice guide. Only one thing: he texted one time while driving.
My friend and I had an amazing experience with Reinier as my guide; he was kind, friendly, and informative! Countryside and boat ride were so beautiful and fun.
A little disappointing that for a 3 hour round trip drive to Geithorn we were only told a handful of facts for a total span of 10 min. I had to ask basic questions like how many windmills are there, were there etc. I was looking up interesting historical info on my phone. The listing is also quite deceiving, it lists private tours of cheese and wooden shoe making but they were not private. It lists Geithorn as being 4 hours but we were there 3 total, one hour on boat which our tour guide spent most of the time complaining about other tourists in front of us not knowing how to drive the boats. 1 more hour spent eating lunch. 1 hour left to explore which if you include walk back time is more like 40 min. FYI Tickets inside the windmill are extra & we barely had time to do that before rushing back to leave Zannse Schans. All in all decent route for tour but NOT a good TOUR GUIDE at all.
Simon is a fabulous tour guide. He is so knowledgeable about Dutch history and relayed interesting facts about windmills and dykes. He drove the canal boat in Giethoorn perfectly as we laughed with other people on the canals. It was a great itinerary and a great day. Thanks Simon!
Eric was our driver and guide and we were so happy with him. He was very knowledgeable and thoughtful. He knew my friend and I needed seats and without asking made sure to move in and save some for us. He took our purchases back to the van so we didn't lug them around all day. Eric was the best!!!!
We had an amazing day outside Amsterdam! Our tour guide Reinier was so efficient, friendly, and accommodating . He got us to our wonderful locations safely with a lot of history in between. Our stops were charming! We loved the windmills, cheese factory, clog demonstration, and finally the beautiful canals of Giethoorn.
The guide who conducted the tour was Leidse. He made this trip a very memorable one. He was very informative and engaged with all tour members. He was punctual in pick up and drop and while showing the areas in Zanse Chaans as well as geethorn.
We had an amazing experience on this tour! Our guide, Leidse, really made everything above and beyond our expectations, and we will definitely recommend him/this tour to everyone travelling to Amsterdam. This is a must-do!
We had a wonderful time on our Zaanse Schans and Giethoorn tour with Leidse! His enthusiasm was infectious, and his thoughtful, kind approach made the day feel welcoming and special. He genuinely cared about our group and helped make the experience memorable. Thank you, Leidse, for your warmth and hospitality. We highly recommend this tour, especially with him as your guide!
This is a wonderful tour. The two places visited are beautiful and the guides are great. It is definitely worth the money for an all day tour plus hotel pick up and being in a small group is so nice.
Great tour incorporating Zaanse Schanse and Giethoorn. Our guide, Reinier, was very engaging and full of interesting tidbits and inclusive with our group. In spite of the rain, we had a wonderful day.
Eric our guide was wonderful, very prepared, and knowledgeable . Loved both stops so pretty and different.
Leidse was such a wonderful tour guide! He said hello to each of us asking where we were from and connected with each of us personally with things he knew about where we came from.., and he knew a lot!!!! The tour was beautiful , despite the weather, and Leidse just added sunshine to the group because of his terrific personality! He connected with each of us personally but melded us together as a group… The tour was excellent… thanks to him!!!!!
Although the weather wasn't great, the tour guide was extremely attentive to everyone's needs, making the trip very enjoyable. The itinerary was well-paced—I highly recommend joining this tour!
Mr Rainier Driver cum tour guide was too good.His driving and product knowledge was just excellent. We were 8 people in that tour,practically he was taking individual care.K7 lucky yo have him.Great
Our tour has been an absolute blast! The pick up and drop off are flexible. With just 7 of us in a group feels really intimate. The travel in a luxury car makes the journey super comfortable. Our tour guide filled us in with all history, fun facts and all necessary information! Very impressive !
Leidse was very personable. He remembered all of our small group names. He combined history, current culture and some of his personal story as we traveled. We felt very well cared for by him. We had a fantastic time. Great to see these parts of the Netherlands.
Our tour guide Leidse was very informative and kept us entertained throughout the full day. The two primary sites visited Zaanse and Giethoorn were spectacular
I was very pleased with this small group tour to Giethoorn. Our tour guide Leidse kept us well informed of our trip the day before and was very well organized. The trip was seamless and a very pleasant experience. Guide Leidse was very kind, pleasant and very helpful. Will definitely look for him on my next trip!
Had a great time on this tour with Leidse as our guide! Very helpful and informative. I’d definitely book this exact trip again if I get the chance to visit Amsterdam. Lovely experience! ❤️❤️
The places we visited on this tour were unique and beautiful. It was definitely worth the time and money to see them.
Eric was truly an amazing guide! He has so much knowledge about Amsterdam, Zaanse Schans, and Giethoorn, and I really enjoyed listening to all the interesting stories he shared about the places we visited. One of the highlights was definitely the boat ride in Giethoorn. Eric is a licensed boat captain, and his boat driving was fantastic! The boat ride became one of my favorite memories from my entire trip to the Netherlands. I was traveling with my 5-year-old son, and I also really appreciated how kind and thoughtful Eric was with him throughout the tour. I would absolutely love to meet Eric again if I visit the Netherlands in the future. He was truly the best guide we could have asked for. Thank you so much, Eric, for making our trip so memorable!
The group has 8 people in a full van but was comfortable enough during the ride. Leidse was an awesome tour guide. He was attentive and take care of us very well. He shared many information about the sites and Netherlands during the car ride and on the boat tour. He always offer to take pictures for us during the boat cruise and different landmarks. He will contact us when we were lost and gave us good directions to get back to the van. The whole day trip was very nice and he is also very funny. Overall one of the best tour we had and would recommend it to others.
We did this trip with 6 others. The highlight was the canals and boat ride at Giethoorn. Leidse was our guide and driver. He was excellent. Very knowledgeable, funny, and he made the trip really interesting. Would strongly recommend this trip with Leidse.
The tour was fabulous and our tour guide even better. Yes it’s a very busy tourist area but well worth it. And with a tour it goes more smoothly ! Highly recommend!
Our guide Leidse was excellent!! Five stars to him🌟🤩 Enjoyed the trip He was very informative 💯 Fun
Reinier was our guide and he was very friendly and helpful! We were picked up at our hotel so transportation was hassle free. He was very knowledgeable about the destinations and even gave us recommendations around the city!
Erick the guide was a delight. The information shared was informative and he was always on hand to take our photo or if we had questions.
Its was well guided tour by Reinier’s, he has been excellent guide and tour lead. Would definitely recommend everyone in amsterdam do visit Giethoorn its a dreamy european village for sure.
This was a great day trip to the Dutch countryside. Our guide Reinier was absolutely spectacular. Full of information and stories. A great driver and guide all in one! He gave us wonderful food recommendations for in Amsterdam as well. It was a great way to spend the day. Thanks, Reinier!
Leidse is an excellent tour guide. He is very professional and informative. I would highly recommend him as a tour guide. He gave us plenty of time and explained the area and history very well. Thank you Leidse for such a great time!!!
Leidse was a fantastic guide. We had a great day exploring the windmills and “the Venice of the Netherlands” we appreciated how he was prepared with umbrellas at the slightest hint of rain
Was a great experience with leidse. He was so nice and kind
What an exceptional day trip! Reinier was a fantastic guide who expertly navigated us through the sights before the crowds arrived. I loved that the tour group was small. The hotel pick up and drop off also made it more relaxing.
Simon was a great guide. He had umbrellas for us and stayed so positive despite the rain. Everyone we met was lovely.
Leides was amazing! I would give him a 6 out of 5 stars if I could! Friendly, knowledgeable, drove, drove the boat, made sure we had umbrellas, personable.
Leidse our local tour guide from K7travel was outstanding!!!! He provided great information while passing by (driving) the different country side areas and also the areas explored during the day. He pointed out the best spots for food and places to visit during our free time. He was very respectful,attentive of our group needs and engaged with ALL of us. The size of the group was perfect, mini van was clean and umbrellas, water were provided. His knowledge about all the areas was great and informative and we had a great day would highly recommend
We had a wonderful one-day tour to Giethoorn with our guide, Liedse. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the entire trip enjoyable and relaxing. He shared interesting stories about the area and made sure we had a great experience. Giethoorn was beautiful, and having Liedse as our guide made the day even more special. Highly recommended!”
This is an excellent experience. Highly recommended. Our tour guide is very nice and accommodating too. Would like to do it again future.
We had an absolutely wonderful day with our tour guide, Leidse! He went above and beyond to make our experience special from start to finish. He took us to all the best spots for photos and was always happy to take pictures of us so we could capture the memories together. He even drove the boat for our group’s tour in Giethoorn, which made that part of the day so much fun! What really stood out was how thoughtful and personable he was-he remembered all of our names, made us feel comfortable right away, and even carried some of my souvenirs in his backpack when my hands were full. This was truly one of the highlights of our trip to the Netherlands! The tour itself was worth it, we liked the windmills, had a chance to go in one and had enough free time to explore.
Absolutely loved the day from the beginning to the end…so happy we decided to go on this particular journey-Kai was our driver and leader and he did fantastic! Very polite and professional-knowledgeable! Enjoyed it all and wouldn’t change a thing.
The tour was great. The tour guide Kai was outstanding. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. Many of us had problems with mobility, even though it ended up being a small group of 8, 3 had mobility difficulties. He made the tour as accessible and accommodating as possible. I would highly recommend this tour from this tour company, hopefully you will get Kai as your guide. We were only a group of 8 because of the rain. With a maximum of 18 in the group, it would still be an amazing tour. Because the other groups that at the attractions were much larger. I highly recommend this tour.
