We had a lovely day exploring with Alexander! He was a wonderful guide - kind, knowledgeable and gracious with time to ensure we got the most out of every place. We only wished we had had more time in each place. Highly recommended tour - ask for Alexander!

Great tour! See how wooden clogs are constructed, how cheese is made, taste waffles warm off the press, and then take a stroll through the picturesque Zaanse Schans windmills and village. A fun 5 hours in the Netherlands countryside.
Well organised and value for money.

This was a GREAT day. The guide was really nice and it was a no stress day. No hard times to return to the meeting place. The windmills everyone must see and we ended up going to Volendam due to Markim being closed for a holiday. The cheese and clog factory was very interesting. Good trip!

Our guide was great. He walked with us explaining everything as we went along and allowed us free time afterwards to explore on our own. He arranged for our lunch to be ready when we arrived in Monnickendam to save time and again walked us through the town. This tour was very worthwhile and I would definitely recommend.
Fantastic Day

Cheese and wooden shoe making were great.
Pickup location changed but we were not notified. Tour guide did not speak loud enough to hear in back of van and said he would not speak louder. Also did not keep group together. He continued walking and talking although more than half of group were not with him
Response from Host , May 2022
Dear Janine,
Thank you for your feedback and information. I am sorry to hear our guide would not speak louder on request. This should our guides always ask pro active to anybody in our van so it should not even come from you as our guest.
I will dive in to this immidiate and take this up so we can keep our services as high as our trackrecord has always been.
Departure location:
The departure location has been changed in the beginning of the year 2022. When booked in 2021 we have sended everybody a message twice. If booked later the departure location is on the tickets at the bottom of the page. Do not know what happened there but I am happy all went fine in the end.
Again, thank you for you feedback and i will follow this up,
Kind regards,
Apostolis
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.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
