Reviews Zaanse Schans
“Our tour guide Karl was extremely knowledgeable and brought the trip to life. Haven been on other tours, what I have found is that the journey is monotonous but Karl kept talking the entire trip which made it fly by.”
“The tour was very informative and lots of interesting facts were given about the places visited and the general area. We had to use the Support Team as the initial booking via easyJet registered the wrong date.”
“Our tour guide Robbie from New Jersey NYC was brilliant. We had a great day. He was very knowedgable and helpfulWould really recommend this tour and Robbie x”
