Wonderful experience!

We had an amazing time with Esther! Prior to our tour she communicated with us very easily about the logistics and what we would like to see. She met us at our apartment and we immediately knew the day would be a success! It was a bit drizzly so she made sure to get us to the gardens and local fields before it got very wet. She actually found local fields in an area where the weather was better so that we could enjoy. We LOVED that she took us to places that had no crowds yet had gorgeous flowers. We then learned about the windmills and had a tour from her father! She grew up living in a windmill so her insights into what that is like were so interesting. We had a lovely lakeside lunch where she explained about some of the smoked fish we were eating and continued to learn more about the Dutch culture. Our tour ended with a wonderful cheese tasting and more personal stories and insights about The Netherlands. We took our two teenagers (15 and 16) and all of use loved it!
Beautiful tour away from the crowds!

Perfect day with Esther! My husband and I booked a private, customized tour in the northern countryside. Esther picked us up at our Amsterdam hotel in her immaculate van. We drove north to Poldertuin Garden to see the gorgeous tulips at their peak. We toured the museum windmill, sampled cheeses at a cheese shoppe and even stopped to see the tulip farms. Esther took lovely photos of us all day! We ended the tour with a great seafood lunch. Very relaxing, and away from the huge crowds of other areas. Highly recommend!
Thank you an inspiring day

Esther was amazing. She showed us areas that we would have never seen otherwise. I highly recommend this tour and hope you are lucky enough to find availability.
