Windmills experience is a MUST! *Museum Molen*

Published on Sep, 2024

This was our 2nd out of 4 Private Viator experiences on our Amsterdam/ Paris trip. They have all been exactly what we wanted! We started our day by going to MuseumMolen and it was perfect. We had a passenger with limited mobility so our guide Fred suggested we go here instead of Zaahans Schaans and he was spot on. MuseumMolen was small but it was a lovely example of the inner workings of a windmill. This is one of our most favorite memories of everything we did on our whole trip! After this Fred took us to Edam and we had a lovely lunch at _____ in a quaint square. Then we went to Volendam and dressed up in traditional Dutch outfits for a photo. Volendam is touristy but it’s pretty to see the boats and water and we loved our picture! Great for a laugh and funny memory. I would highly recommend Fred and Viator in general! Having someone pick you up from your hotel in a large, clean van, provide waters, a concierge service level of attention, AND be so knowledgeable about the sites made for a perfect day. On this tour it was me, my husband, and our two daughters (ages 9 and 10) and my parents who are in their 70s. We all agreed it was a fabulous day!

Great tour outside of Amsterdam

Published on Aug, 2023

Karel was great! He was at the cruise port waiting for us upon arrival and was very accommodating with the luggage and hotel drop off. He was very knowledgeable about the sites we visited and provided a wonderful tour of the countryside outside of Amsterdam. We really appreciated his time and patience with us, and would defiantly book another tour with him should we return to Holland.

Excellent Experience

Published on May, 2023

Guide was top notch. Provided my wife and me with true insight of the areas visited and the Netherlands in general. Would book again, especially with the guide we had.

Published on Jul, 2022

The private day trip was well worth it and our guide was extremely knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this to anyone visiting Amsterdam.

A MUST DO

Published on Feb, 2020

Very impressive tour with our guide Robert. This tour is a must-do for anyone visiting Amsterdam. Especially for families it is a great experience. Our guide Robert was very accommodating and easy to talk with. He is truly one of the best guides we ever did a tour with. With this tour Robert also takes you to a cheese farm, clog maker and inside of a windmill. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! Thank you Robert!
