Excellent Day trip - Communication from our tour guide, Kai, was fantastic. Received a text when he was on his way for our pickup, and he was there promptly at 8:45 as expected. We had 7 in our group, Kai took us to Geithorn first, (on the way there we did stop to take photos of some tulip fields), so that we would not be in Geithorn during the crowded afternoon. It was a great decision. He was able to park close to town since we had a van and not a bus. We went on a canal boat tour, just the 7 of us with Kai. It was wonderful, and since we were early the canals were not crowded yet ( as we were leaving there were so many boats on the canal, it was causing a “traffic jam” on the water) which made for a relaxing tour. After the canal tour we had free time to have lunch and shop. After Geithorn we went to Zaans Schaans, we went to a Gouda cheese demonstration , and also to a demonstration to see how wooden shoes are made. That was very interesting. I highly recommend this tour. We had plenty of free time, communication from start to end was fantastic. We were picked up and dropped off at the location we choose from their availability, it was very convenient. Kai was phenomenal!

Dutch experience - Zaanse Schans is a charming recreated Dutch village. (Think Williamsburg). Learned about “Amsterdam cut” diamonds, cheese & clog making. Giethoorn for a typical Netherlands meal & ride through the village.

Awesome day trip! - Reinier was our driver/guide and just added to the experience. His knowledge and enthusiasm made a wonderful day better. Learned so much about windmills at Zaanse Schans and felt like we were part of a fairy tale in Geithoorn. Thanks for the memories!

Lovely day out - We had a fantastic day out with our guide Kai. He was knowledgeable and friendly. The villages were just lovely, although very busy we didn’t feel crammed in. The canal boat trip through Giethoorn was very peaceful.

K7 tour company disappoints - This tour was cancelled by K 7 travel 24 hr prior to departure. Reason was stated as not enough people signed up for tour. We managed to get an identical tour with Dutch trips and they did a fantastic job. While in Giethoorn we noticed several people with K7 umbrellas. Apparently that tour wasn’t cancelled at the last moment. Stick with the company Dutch trips if you don’t want any last minute surprises.

Extremely unprofessional 😔 - I got an email just a day before without any explanation / reason that the tour was cancelled.EXTREMELY UNPROFESSIONAL.. I have still not been refunded a single penny.. the worst thing is that there is no platform to talk to a representative for claim, the email doesn’t really help
