From the second you meet Francesco you feel really welcomed. Walking through the farm, learning about all the things they do on the farm is really interesting. Francesco and his lovely wife and daughters are a huge part of this activity.

We saw the windmills up close and got a private tour of two of the lumber mills. We had a delightful lunch in the fishing town of Monnickendam. Then visited a traditional cheese farm. We capped off our tour with a visit to village of Waterland and the unique church of Broek. I am not a fan of big tour groups and ear pieces. This was a delightful tour and well worth the money.
