Reviews Zaanse Schans
“This was a very small area that is very busy and there for the mills and shops are so small that you can not see much so not worth the money did nt even get to taste any cheese.”
“I enjoyed the experience and that part of Netherlands which you can't see them in Amsterdam. It was wonderful experience”
“Our tour guide Laura & coach driver Jan, were friendly, knowledgeable, humorous and made our trip enjoyable. It was a big bus, not a small group, the tour was in English. The time spent at each location was just right. The suggestions of seafood restaurant for lunch was excellent.”
