This was truly an excellent trip. We received so much excellent information along the way without feeling overloaded. Our guide Iyla was wonderful and accommodating. Dress warmly as it gets pretty freezing in the fishing village and by the windmills. Highly recommend!! Side note: the breakfast offered at Zaanse was not good at all so recommend you get something before the tour starts.

Jon was an amazing tour guide. Very impressive and really knew his stuff. I would defo recommend this trip to anyone of any age as it’s really impressive. During the cheese tour your get a wide array of options - no skimming on the portions either. There is a lot of walking but it’s good day out for all! Thank again Jon!
