Lots of Walking and HOT
Deb_F

This tour started with a van that had no air conditioning in 88° F weather. It was a miserable ride there and back. We parked in a grocery store parking lot and walk across an overpass to get to our destination. There was a LOT of walking. Guide was nice but very soft speaking. Would not recommend.
Great location!

This was a great location, super cute little town with beautiful and quaint windmills and cheese making introductions as well as clog making introductions. The reason for the 3 stars had to do with the tour guide/transportation. We were in an 8 person van on a very hot day with no air conditioning. The fan was blowing (hot air) hard and we could not hear the tour guide in the back of the van. Our tour guide continued to stop throughout the windmill destination for various pieces of information but always stopped in the sun when there was shade nearby. Location...fantastic! Tour guide/transportation...needs improvement.
Excellent way to spend a morning and see a lot

Not the guide’s fault but not a good experience. We expected there to be more scenery but we drove 20 minutes down the freeway from Amsterdam, parked in a supermarket car park and then it seems we were going to walk for 2.5 hours. Not at all scenic, we left the tour and got a taxi back but it reminded us to do our research properly before booking a tour and not just read the advertising blurb.
It was all amazing and interesting

The best and most amazing tour!
Short, sweet, light and FULFILLING
Our tour guide Eric was a local living there and he explained the context and the story in such a fun and interesting way!
The town has so much history, I recommend going with a tour guide and not alone.
Thank you so much
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
