What guests say about touring with Mike
Our guide, Mike is awesome. The tour visited some very interesting places and Mike is very accommodating and helpful. He gave us some background and good information as we traveled, was very knowledgeable, answering all our questions, and made sure we were well taken care of. Mike is a pleasure to spend the day with. We highly recommend Mike and this tour.
We enjoyed all the stops. I liked the Castle de Haar best, despite it being such a hot day. Mike was very pleasant. He was flexible about pacing, allowing us to speed along or linger as we chose. It enabled us to do everything we wanted. And his car was always ready with air conditioning when we returned.
This was one of the best day activities we could have had. With our limited time in Amsterdam, it was such an easy, relaxing way to see parts of Netherlands outside of the city. Mike was super accommodating to our needs, including my elderly mother and my hyper 6 year old. Communication was GREAT, and he kept us informed about where we were going/doing while remaining totally flexible. What a lovely memory! Thank you Mike!
Definitely the highlight of our trip to Netherlands. Mike was a great guide and we had lots of fun. The windmills are absolutely fascinating and everyone needs to visit them in person. Definitely recommend this tour to everyone.
