GBTom is the best! I booked a tour to the Dutch countryside with Tom’s tours after doing some research on Trip Advisor. This was for us 2 families, each with a young child (aged 4 and 8). We were expecting a pleasant trip, but we were really blown away by the experience! Tom was exuberant, super helpful and cheerful, bringing in a rare level of energy to the trip. What more, his love for photography made our wives feel like being clicked by paparazzi! He took us to Edam, Marken among other places. The highlight of the trip was a beautiful bike ride up to the lighthouse near Marken, and the experience of the Edam cheese market. We didn’t get time to visit the windmill farms at Schmerherhorn, but Tom compensated that with a quick stop at the classic windmill near Amsterdam. Overall, a super experience. Wouldn’t think a bit before recommending his service to anyone looking for a Dutch country side experience!

GBYou MUST use Toms Travel Tours Based on various reviews we contacted Tom for a private country side tour. His communication before meeting was great and we were actual able to go with him personally. My wife and I could not say enough about this experience and Tom. Made countless stops, with the highlight being cycling to the lighthouse. Tom was extremely knowledgeable and engaged with us the entire time. He had all the right connections at each stop, was always aware of our safety in some unfamiliar environments, and had everything else from snacks to sunscreen. Finally he is an amazing photographer and sent us a couple hundred pics the next day. You will miss an incredible opportunity if you don’t go with Toms Travel Tours.

GBAmazing Amazing! At somewhat last minute, my husband and I decided to visit Amsterdam for a quick weekend. I tried to book tours on my own, but failed miserably - Anne Frank House was fully booked and I wasn’t sure how to plan or navigate with what little time we had. So glad I found Tom and his tour company. Everyone - from his drivers (thank you, Sally) to his incredible guides - Jeroen, Chris & Alex - were fantastic! Smart, kind, funny, professional, knowledgeable, flexible … I could go on and on! Tom seamlessly handled our “drama” - 5 hour plane delay, missed Anne Frank House tour, which Tom miraculously was able to rebook for us the next morning. (This was the one thing my husband really wanted to get to see!). Tom put together the perfect itinerary for us - from walking through old city, Keukenhof, windmills, museums, canal boat tour, etc. And, don’t forget to ask Tom for restaurant recommendations! Our dinners were fantastic (Daalder Atelier and Seafoodbar). It was truly the perfect weekend!!!

GBTom picked me up at my hotel for a… Tom picked me up at my hotel for a countryside trip that was a delight. I’m a farm kid from California’s Central Valley, an agricultural area with many rivers and canals. He found the last tulip field standing and we chatted with the farmer; at the Beemster Cheese factory we talked cows with an employee; the inner workings of a windmill were a fascinating look at an advanced water-moving device designed in the 17th century. In short, it was everything I wanted in a 5-hour tour. The Dutch countryside is lovely, and Tom helped me enjoy and understand it. Couldn’t recommend his company more highly-plus, he takes photos of you enjoying the sights and shares them.

GBGreat tours of The Netherlands and Belgium! Tom planned multiple fun tours for our family in both The Netherlands and Belgium, as well as helping with transportation and hotel recommendations. There was great communication for each tour and we had a fantastic time! Jackie was our guide for several of the tours - and she was awesome! She really went out of her way to make the whole experience fun for our teen daughters.
