Half-Day Private Excursion: Windmills, Charming Villages, and Dutch Countryside Highlights

Great windmill tour

This was an outstanding tour of the side of Amsterdam/the Netherlands that the tourists rarely see. We were picked up our hotel and driven north of Amsterdam to see Windmills, small coastal towns and a great insight into how the land was reclaimed from the sea and became a breadbasket of Netherlanda. Complete with snacks, we walked through island towns, saw planned reclaimed land and had lunch in a wonderful local restaurant. A wonderful sunny day away from the crowds of Amsterdam.

We enjoyed an excellent day, courtesy of Elke. She developed an itinerary for us based on our input which completely satisfied our interests and timing. She has an encyclopedia-like knowledge which she is able to share in a manner akin to having a conversation with a friend rather than sound bites from a guide book. It was truly an outstanding day. Thank you!

elke was terrific. very knowledgeable and very easy to be with. i’d recommend her to everyone, and the tour as well. Amsterdam is great but seeing the countryside was the perfect counter balance.

Very good tour! We toured a working windmill and saw a wooden clog-making demonstration. Also toured a museum in a quaint town. Elke was very informative. We enjoyed our day!

Elke arrived on time and we set off for a lovely day in the countryside. She took us through several villages stopping at Edam and to a windmill which we were able to go inside. The drive was easy and the scenery picturesque. The history of the region was very interesting. This was a wonderful way to spend the day outside of the city and experience the countryside. It was a half day tour which I highly recommend.
