2-hour private Amsterdam pedicab tour for up to two with pickup, rain covers, and canal views from Museumplein to Dam Square.
“Our pedicab tour met our expectations and more! Alfonso was early and found us so we didn't have to search for him. He was informative and stopped at many points of interest, including photo opportunities (he was happy to take photos of us as a couple which will be good for us to have.) We had a very limited time in Amsterdam & the pedicab tour was a wonderful way to see a lot in 2 hours.

2-hour small-group walk through Haarlem, from Grote Markt to the Spaarne, beer brewing, and Corrie Ten Boom. English tour, mobile ticket.

Make a traditional wooden clog, then tour a cheese factory and taste Gouda, Edam, stroopwafel, speculaas, wine, and more in Volendam.
“Don’t expect to leave with a shoe you created. Even if there is enough time, the equipment is extremely dull and not sufficient for the job.

Ended up painting a bottle opener and no cheese tour.”
