Windmills, wooden shoes, history all at a great pace with wonderful guide. Definitely worth going with the all inclusive trip. Great price.

The Windmill tour was nice but I lost the group. The bus left without us. Did not get to finish the tour. Will not use Tours and Tickets again.

This is a fantastic trip. We did the all inclusive trip. The visit to the windmill was very interesting as was the clog making demo. The boat trip from Marken to Volendam was great, it being a nice warm day. Loved the cheese and stroopwaffle demo in Volendam. Both were very tasty. Our guides, Tony and Miria were fantastic. Great knowledge about the area and good restaurant recommendations in Volendam. There is also an audio commentary on the bus while you drive between each stop. I would highly recommend this trip while in Amsterdam

Sadly, the most memorable thing about this trip were both the horrible weather and the wonderful people we met on the trip. I think the experience would have been better had the wind been less than 25 mph with 37 mph gusts and horizontal rain that was freezing. Also there were just too many tourists at the site. People actually live in this area, yet, there were hundreds of tourists in a small area. I was glad to see the windmills, and the guy doing the wooden shoe demonstration was really great, but over all, it was a shopping experience. This is the fourth Viator tour I've ever been on and the first two were fabulous, the third was not good, and this one, even given that no one can control the weather, was just average. The site was wonderful, but it would have been better had we done it ourselves, as we do the rest of our travel experiences.

Excellent sample of experiences. I was not expecting to enjoy them all . Guides did a great job. Bus was late, but they did a good job of recovering

I choose this tour because of the length, 5 hours, but should have looked at the number of ppl in each tour better. We were ‘herded’ to the windmill and crowded in for a brief demonstration, most ppl could not see. Then, just enough time to use the WC and get back on bus for the next stop. Volendam, we were herded through the town so we could get to the cheese demonstration. Packed into a small room for short, 5 minute lesion of cheese making, and then all 80 of us, elbow to elbow for the free taste and the opportunity to buy cheese and souvenirs. We then we’re headed to the harbor, anf had a 30 minute break to look around and oh BTW, here are two places that we recommend you can get something to eat. Marken, headed onto a ferry, and then to Marken. We’re herded through town, to a shoe factory, no time to look around. Another over crowed room for a short demonstration. A number of us could not even see anything except the back of people of the tour. Lined up 6 people deep. After a brief demonstration, the crowd emptied out to another gift shop. The driver and guide were very nice and the recording on the bus was informative. I would suggest take. Public transportation on your own to these places, taking time to walk around and enjoy instead of being herded to places where the tour company has financial incentives.

Windmill tour was way too crowded. Basically just a big tourist trap. Tour inside of the windmill was interesting. Marken tour was good being that there were not too many tourists!

The family enjoyed the windmill village & boat ride to Volendam. It did feel slightly rushed in each location but it was ok. Both the tour guide and bus driver were phenomenal and accommodating. They helped us when a family member became ill on the bus. We will never forget the kindness. Thank you Diana & Astef

Amazing local activities and tour guide. A bit of delay in the beginning but we arrived on time. Nice food and activities

Village tour was good as ample time was given for looking around and having lunch. However, because bus seat were not assigned, there were issues in getting the same seats upon return from each spot where passengers got out of the bus. Least time given for windmill tour - approximately 1 hour. Therefore it was difficult to cover windmill demonstration, take pictures and walk back to the bus on time given .

The guides were engaging, entertaining, and you could tell they wanted everyone to have a fun experience! Great job at answering all of the questions!

Excellent guides, Diana and Steph, AMAZING! Helped a lady who could not walk, handled a medical emergency on the bus with professionalism and humanity. They both embodied being GOOD HUMANS. The only problem I saw was that we were too many people on ONE tour, too many people to follow Diana and hear what she was explaining. Other than that, great day!

Seeing the cheese and clog making demos and getting to see so many windmills and going in the lumber mill was all fascinating

The fishing village where we had 1 1/4 hours Of course we had sunshine which also made it remarkable !

Excellent tour, well done. Visited inside the windmill. Great experience. Cheese demonstration and tasting was a great experience.

The towns were really nice to visit, but the guide was not doing much.. seems more interested to talk about himself than anything else.

This was a great trip and our tour guide, Katherine, was lovely. The coach was modern and comfortable. Vollendam is a lovely village and the cheese factory was fun. Loved the ferry trip across to Marken, and the clog making demo was very entertaining. The only reason for a 4 star rating (and not 5) was that the windmill village was a bit disappointing- very crowded, very commercial unlike Vollendam and Marken which were completely unspoilt. Otherwise, a good value trip.

The tour guide, Xiaoli, who was knowledgable, helpful, kind and very professional was by far the best part of the experience. It was nice to learn a bit about Dutch history, but I wish they told us much more. The windmill experience was underwhelming. Voldendam was quite nice but we didn't spend nearly enough time there. The reason I gave it 3 stars instead of 1 is because of Xiaoli.

The trip itself was good and we saw some beautiful views. But, it was so hurried that we could not really enjoy it! Andrea our guide was literally running and lot of us had a very tough time to catch up. There was no fixed plan given to us and when I asked the lady where we were going next she showed me an attitude. However she did help me when needed. Driver was really good. On the whole a beautiful scenic trip I wouldn’t have minded paying a little more to relax and have some more time to take in the beauty of the place!!

Distinct Experience of Netherlands.. Modern day experience apart, this is the actual cultural & traditional part of this region that you need to experience first hand as a Tourist. Though commercialized and with loads of tourists everyday, the place hasn't lost the essence and the distinctiveness. Takes you to a different world. Visiting the windmill from inside or the clog making workshop is far better than visiting the malls. Yes for it
