I could not find a meeting address through the site that I purchased my ticket on so I stupidly went to the tour address- which was actually his home address. I could have met with the group only 2 miles away from my hotel. Bart came to pick me up as I was now only 10 minutes away from the tour office. He brought me safely to the bus meetup spot. Completely my mistake and I am eternally grateful for the help he provided to me. Beyond that our guide, Maria, was amazing! She was friendly, warm, thoughtful. knowledgeable and professional. She thought of everything. She even got a picture of the group together. She gave the tour wearing her own pair of clogs. She knew the history and purpose of every windmill. She gave helpful suggestions. She was patient with all of us. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone. I would go in it again if I ever return to Amsterdam.

Seeing how Gouda is made and being able to try all of the tasty samples was wonderful. Knowing the history of, the functions, and the different types of windmills were equally impressive.

Though it is a great tour and great experience, I would not recommend this to the elderly, or anyone that gets claustrophobic! I'll admit, I even got scared at times. Our captain was lovely and she gave the tour in at least Dutch and English, there may have been German as well. But the sights are worth the trip, and we were very happy with the price as well.

Love Dutch fresh Shrimps? Best place to get them and fresher than fresh is this place…read more There are several boats in the harbour of Oudeschild that will take tourist out in the big wide ocean. I have been on many. This time i was on camp with a group of school children. The TX 10 is a really big boat so we weren't the only school group this time. But ok its fine. When we sailed out of the harbour the captain explained something about the waddensea and its flora and fauna. He also told about where we will be heading to to catch some fish and why he just picked that particularly spot. The captain has is own way of speaking. He speaks of course dutch, but he also managed to speak German at a certain funny level. The Germans seems fine with it, we found it most of the time extremely funny. During fishing, so when the nets are down, you can relax on the boat while it sails over the big ocean. It was actually quit relaxing. The sea has a calming effect on children (and teachers tough). How lovely was that. So the nets where sort or less fulll with shrimps, they will take the nets in and putted everything the caught on a big "table". One off the workers will explain what they caught and if the fish are poisoned they will make sure that nobody gets bitten or put his or her hands on the table. So when everything is clear and fish who cant be that long of off the sea will be trown back in the sea, its time to cook the shrimps. They do that on the boat. While the shrimps are getting cooked the kids can play with the rest of the fish and "save" them, read trow them all back in the ocean. When the shrimps are cooked they will explain how to devilled the shrimps in the correct way, while we sail back to the harbour. In the harbour, every group will get a bag of freshly caught shrimps with a note eat them before tomorrow and dont leave them in the warm cars. It was a lovely day, the children had fun. I actually prefer a more smaller intimate boat than such a big one. But all over it was nice. Note: sometimes you will see seals. Lobi!
