Zaanse Schans Private Tour Windmills

We visited on a Friday afternoon and it was very crowded and difficult to maneuver around the crowds. All of the shops were crowded as well. The windmills were interesting but not worth the trip by taxi from our hotel. The shops made the area too commercial.

Remco was an absolute pleasure to spend our day with. He was on time for pick up, informative, flexible in our change of plans and most importantly a safe driver in Amsterdam:) highly recommend!

Very good experience . Our guide Ramco is very helpful and informative. Highly recommend ! Traffic was bad when we left so he gave us a little detour to countryside as well 😊

Happy half day tour with Knowledgable tour guide. Good for business traveller with limited time and tight schedule.

We had a great tour! Remco is very knowledgeable, and we learnt so much about the country on our tour! All the spots he took us too were gorgeous and it’s an experience we will never forget!

Remco showed us the workings of a sawmill windmill and areas outside Amsterdam. Friendly, knowledgeable, and energetic. Can customize the tour. Would highly recommend.

We tried our luck on a last minute tour & was surprised the we could go. It was a great day out to to see the windmills and was well worth it. Great information along the way and to see things not on the tourist map.

My parents were visiting Amsterdam for a couple of days. Remco picked them up at the airport without issues. He was very friendly, informative and helpful throughout the tour. My parents had a fantastic time. Would definitely recommend Remco to friends and family.

Remco was awesome! Not only did he do our tour through the Zaanse Schans windmills, with our remaining time he brought us to a hidden gem - this cute fishing village not far from where we were. He was easy going, knowledgeable and we would recommend him to anyone looking for a private tour while in Amsterdam!

My husband and I had a great private tour with Remco. He picked us up on time from the cruise ship terminal and we went to the Zaanse Schans area to see the windmills and cheese shop. He was very informative about the area and Holland in general and answered any question we had. He took us off the beaten path to some beautiful little villages. He also took us to a cute little shop that made clogs and cheese and we had private demonstrations of both. We highly recommend this tour.

Our group of 4 LOVED Remco! He is a native to Amsterdam and was so full of fun information and has a genuine love of his country. His PT Cruiser was very clean and very comfortable to tour in. I highly recommend this private tour!

We decided to do the private tour for 4 of us, since the cost per person was nearly equal to a tour bus and so much nicer. We arranged it through our hotel, Amsterdam Marriott. We were picked up in an air conditioned Mercedes luxury "van". Our guide gave us good information in advance of each place and we were not tied to any particular schedule. We stayed longer than normal at Zaanse Schans and so missed one other town - but that was fine with us. We did go to the clog and cheese factory and that was interesting and educational and I bought lovely clogs.

What a fabulous day! Originally, we had only booked the half-day Zaanse Schans tour, but given it was the height of tulip season, we extended our tour to include Keukenhof gardens, and boy was that a great decision. But even smarter was hiring Remco as our private tour guide. As a local, he knew all the best spots, took us behind the scenes (e.g., tulip farms, skinny bridge) and was such a great conversationalist. It’s a bit of a drive, and at no point did we ever have any awkward silence; my wife and I really enjoyed his company. It was so reassuring, since we booked several months earlier, to have hooked up, via text, with Remco about a week beforehand (hence our ability to finalize our add-on only two days earlier) to finalize our logistics. Yes it’s a few extra euros compared to the large bus tours, but trust me, worth every cent. Never any down time and we could have spent as much or as little time as we wanted. It would have been impossible to do so much in one day without having such a knowledgeable guide - and getting picked up and dropped off right at our hotel was pretty grand. Remco thanks again for the great day.

We enjoyed our tour with the private guide Mr. Remeco. He was very welcoming, friendly and has so much information about the place. We highly recommend taking this private tour with him. Cheers! Moza

My girlfriend and I had the pleasure of taking this tour! It was really incredible. It was so nice to have our own guide, and really gave us the sense of getting to know the country. I highly recommend this tour AND this tour guide! He was very friendly, knowledgeable, and made for a great day out in the Amsterdam countryside! Thank you so much!

We had a great tour of the countryside and the windmills. The tour guide was very accomodating and took us to see some sights in the city after the tour. I recommend this tour.

If you want to see mills in Holland, this is not the place for you. The village and the mills are entirely rebuilt and little or nothing remains of historical, it looks more like a theme park. You can do without it

It all worked out great. We were picked up right in front of the hotel, there was something to drink and Remco showed us a lot and told us. We had a lot of fun and could also see the rural life of the Netherlands and were also shown a tour of how cheese is made and the traditional wooden shoes. It was a very nice tour, very relaxed and we felt super comfortable. We can only recommend Remco and will never forget this day. Thank you for the wonderful time Daniela, Christine, Christina and Marion
