We enjoyed the tour but we wished to have more time to explore. The guide was knowledgeable and professional. However, at the end of the tour they dropped us off at a different place and we had to walk more to the hotel and we had to ask for directions. I suggest that next time they drop people off at the same place where they are picked up.

Visit to cheese factory worst of tour. A run down business that added nothing to tour except as a toilet stop. Such a business would be closed down in NZ as not acceptable. Tour guide was excellent and worth trip overall.

Great way to get a taste of Amsterdam

This day trip is a great way to get a taste of Amsterdam. There's short walking tour, which you're free to opt out of. You'll get the most out of this day trip if you do some prep ahead of time. In order to optimize your free time - we had about 4 hours - come with a map, read up on some good restaurants and ideas of things to see, and walk along the canals.
