The tour was very good and Evelyne guided us well in French. Voledam and the cheese museum are great! The mill site is very busy and touristy.
There was wrong address mentioned in the ticket. The stuff could not identify it so we missed the excursion at all.
Cover Zaanse Schans and Volendam highlights in 5 hours, great for tight itineraries.
