Milica N2025-06-23Verified A nice short trip to the village with windmills It was a very nice day trip to a wonderful village with windmills and a small cheese and clogs factory. The guide was very professional and agreeable person. I would recommend this short day trip if you want to see beautiful nature outside of Amsterdam. Ziwar Moulky2025-06-21Verified Absolutely loved the tour! The place is stunning — peaceful, picturesque, and full of charm. The traditional windmills were beautiful, and the cheese tasting was delicious. I also really enjoyed the rich cocoa and the visit to the clogs factory — such a unique and fun experience. Highly recommend if you want a taste of Dutch tradition in a beautiful setting!
