Description
Imagine… leaving bustling Amsterdam and within half an hour stepping into a world where time seems to stand still. Turning windmills, green wooden houses, the smell of fresh cheese—you’re no longer just a spectator, you’re experiencing the Netherlands.
Our small-group tour (maximum 30 guests) takes you in a comfortable minibus through the most beautiful spots of the Dutch countryside, guided by a video full of subtle, interesting stories, fun facts, and occasional humorous touches about Dutch traditions and history.
Tour Highlights
Zaanse Schans – Step back in time in this world-famous windmill village. Admire historic windmills, stroll past green wooden houses, and visit traditional workshops where clogs, cheeses, and other crafts are still made by hand. This is the Netherlands as it once was.
Authentic Cheese Farm – Discover centuries-old cheese-making traditions at a local farm and taste a variety of cheeses, from soft young Gouda to rich, aged varieties—each bite tells a story.
Volendam – Wander through one of the Netherlands’ most picturesque fishing villages. Enjoy the colorful harbor, cozy streets lined with shops and cafés, and sample local treats like freshly fried fish or sweet stroopwafels. For a unique keepsake, you can even dress up in traditional Dutch clothing for a fun photo!
Throughout the day, you’re free to explore at your own pace, take photos, shop for souvenirs, and soak in the atmosphere. You’re not just a tourist—you’re part of the story. This is more than a tour—it’s the experience of the Netherlands like you’ve never had before.
