Description

Discover the Enchanting Dutch Countryside

Choose between a customized private tour or a small-group experience for a high-quality adventure at an affordable price. No matter how you travel, you’ll discover the enchanting Dutch countryside as you drive along winding country roads and enjoy the peace and charm of North Holland.

Climb historic dikes and admire the stunning views over the water while your local guide explains the ingenious waterworks and the centuries-old battle of the Dutch against the sea.

Visit Broek in Waterland, the picturesque Edam, the famous fishing village of Volendam, and the charming island village of Marken, with its wooden houses on stilts and narrow streets. Capture beautiful photos of old windmills at the Zaanse Schans, grazing cattle in the green meadows, and the lively harbor of Volendam.

Stop at a traditional cheese farm to see how the world-famous Edam and Gouda cheeses are made and of course, enjoy a tasting! Then visit a clog workshop, where you’ll learn how the iconic wooden shoes are handcrafted and maybe even try walking in a pair yourself.

Along the way, take a relaxing break with a cup of coffee or tea and a typical Dutch treat, such as apple pie or stroopwafels, before continuing your journey through this beautiful part of the Netherlands.
