Uncover the best of Windmills the local Way

"We spent a great day with Diana. We had booked a tour to Zaanse Schans, Volendam & Edam. As we started our drive to the country, Diana mentioned that this area was very crowded with tourists. We immediately told her - not for us! She pulled over, reset her GPS and took us to see an active windmill at Schermethorn. There were about 6 other tourists there. We visited delightful villages, had lunch in De Rijp and stopped at Simonehoeve, a traditional cheese farm to sample and purchase Gouda cheese. Again, very few tourists. A delightful end to our visit to the Netherlands."

"We had a great tour with Annet this week. We were a party of 4 and enjoyed the benefit of a small tour and not with a large group. Annet was very informative and could answer the many questions we had about life in the Netherlands. The tour of the Windmill Village was breathtaking. This was my first time to the Netherlands and seeing the windmills so close and learning the history was wonderful. I would highly recommend this tour with Annet!"

"This was my first time using Withlocals, and I had a great experience. The tour was smooth and enjoyable. I really enjoyed listening to Elvina's explanations and learning more about the places we visited. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the tour very interesting. Highly recommended!"

"Arun was a fabulous tour guide. His knowledge of the Windmills, and the history of Amsterdam was relevant to us being from the United States and fascinating. I would highly recommend Arun for any tour."

"Elvira was knowledgeable and very pleasant. We would have liked her to share more information about the destination."

"Elvina was clear with meeting instructions and escorting us to our tour. She answered all of our questions and was even willing to stay longer if needed. I love the private tours! She made our day memorable."

"Having a few hours in our schedule before taking the train to London, my family & I toured Zaanse Schans with Olga as our guide. It was an especially enjoyable morning, both interesting & informative. Olga expertly guided us through the sights including Clog Workshop with its historical traditions and demonstration, the Cheese Farm with private presentation & cheese tasting, and the Sawmill (large logs pulled from the water & cut into lumber using wind power), which was a highlight. Feasting on delicious apple beignets at the bakery was the perfect ending to our visit! Thanks to Olga we were able to experience a fun sampling of Dutch traditions. In the future we would love to join Olga for a to visit Giethoorn, one of the many tours that she offers!"

"Annet was so helpful on our day trip. She was great with our kids and told us very interesting things about windmills and Amsterdam. She made navigating there very easy which allowed us to enjoy the day even more. "

"Worthwhile tour to ensure you see what there is to see. Anne is a diverse individual with good knowledge of the area and its history. "
