“Very stressfree but interesting island activity with a highly professional guide. It felt very good to do this activity after doing other more crowded and stressful tours in the previous days because it was very calming to get out of the city and the tourist hotspots. the beautiful scenery of walking along the sandy shores and muddy flats felt amazing. The food recommended by the guide was very good and there were local specialities available. Visiting the local village was beautiful too. Definitely worth coming to Texel, especially with this guide!”
