Our second day in Amsterdam we wanted to get outside the City .We chose the 1/2 day Windmill Tour with Dina , Great choice . Was just what we wanted. Dina was on time at our hotel , jumped in her car which was immaculate and we were off . 30 min ride , on the way Dina gave us some background, not to heavy .. on site she knew her stuff , avoided bus tours got us to right sites .. along way we chatted about various topics , She knew the right shop's and the employees of the stores made it personal. She dropped us back by a great little cafe . Great day all around Dina was great. Definitely go to girl Thank youn

No one should visit Amsterdam without visiting its famous windmills. Dina did an excellent job arranging our transportation, working through scheduling issues, and entertaining us with information about the several windmills we visited. She was very patient with the amount of time my family spent at the woodworking windmill, which fascinated my family members. The cheesemaker offered unusual flavors (purple lavender cheese anyone??), and we had ample time to sample the cheese. I was fascinated by a display of highly decorated clogs that were made for special occasions that Dina pointed out and explained to us. Zanse Schans is an outdoor living history museum that should be fun for both children and adults.
