Overview

Leave Amsterdam behind for a few hours and discover the typical Dutch countryside outside the capital. You'll drive through a picture-perfect landscape crisscrossed with canals, see authentic wooden houses, windmills and fishing villages, and witness traditional crafts from days gone by.

The picturesque village of Zaanse Schans is famous for its original buildings, vividly capturing Dutch life in the 17th and 18th centuries. Much like the World Heritage Kinderdijk, this town is lined with classic Dutch Windmills.

Experience the old Dutch life in Volendam and Marken with an abundance of inside information from your guide. You'll see the historic shipyard and windmills. Visit a shoemaker who works with wood and watch his clog-making techniques first-hand!

Opt for the Charm of Holland tour option to experience the best of old Holland in a small group, with all of the all-in option inclusions plus lunch at a traditional Dutch fishing restaurant. This luxurious tour departs every Friday!

Excellent travel arrangements and beautiful to see, seeing the windmills was amazing, although everything was to rushed would have liked more time to wander and investigate, had no time to see anything apart from where the tour took us, even the little bit of free time we did have was not enough time to get some lunch, and as it was an early morning start we were hungry by lunchtime, we ended up leaving the tour as our food hadn’t arrived by the time the tour was leaving. Excellent bus service available so we paid for that instead and managed then to have time to wander around a beautiful place xx

This experience was 5/5 easily. My guides Laura and Astrid as well as Steph our driver were extremely attentive and informative. More importantly they were warm and friendly and created a fun and safe environment. The tour goes by fast but I highly recommend it for anyone that wants to maximize their time. Four cities in 7 hours was worth it. Especially the cheese!

Arrived at the station and was rushed to bus with no introduction from the Guide. Was advised that food consumption was not allowed on the bus - which was abit of a problem seeing that my father is Diabetic. Cheese and Clogg demonstration was pleasant. Overall the tour seemed rushed, unclear and nobody was really instructed about what the tour entailed. There was no guidance about when lunch should be taken and overall no real interaction from the Tour Guide. I was quite surprised when the Tour Guide finished the Tour and was expecting the audience to provide tips. (Which nobody did). Disappointing - there needs to be more emphasis on quality and input rather than the tour company concentrating on jam packing customers in for profit.

Had a great sunny day to tour these 3 places. Wishes we had more time but our group was large. Nico, Clark and Frank were great tour guides and driver. Loved the history of all the places and how groups are making an effort to preserve the history. Boat ride was fun too. Food at De Lunch was delicious, order the seafood mix or Vismix. At the cheese factory, the 3 yr old Gouda is great. The stroopwaffels never disappoint and are tasty or lekker!
