4 of us who took this private tour could not have been more pleased. Six-seven hour private tour with automobile pick-up and drop-off at our Amsterdam hotel. We first had a great walking tour of the Zaanse Schans Dutch historic area; while it was filled with tourists (late August), it was enjoyable nonetheless. Then we had a private and interesting boat tour (about 30 minutes)j; very lovely sights. Stopped in Zaandam - interesting city. Saw a museum which had Monet reproductions of the many paintings he made of the area, a tour of the Peter the Great home, and then a lovely lunch (included in price) in Zaandam. Price very reasonable. Knowledgeable and friendly English-fluent guides. Strongly recommend.
