Description

A Charming Dutch Countryside Escape: Windmills, Cheese, and Clogs
Take a day trip by bus from Amsterdam for a comfortable 5,5-hour break into deep-rooted Dutch tradition, traveling beyond breathtaking countryside getting carried away by the iconic windmills. Follow the English or Spanish speaking guide and be assured of an amazing experience.

The experience focuses squarely on the magnificent Zaanse Schans and the charming fishing village of Volendam. At first, Zaanse Schans welcomes you to a village like no other; walk around at leisure, admire the perfectly preserved windmills and quaint old houses, and then continue to the lively fishing village of Volendam. There, visit a cheese shop where the old ways are still used, and enjoy an instructive Volendam cheese presentation.

You can enjoy a fine lunch in a traditional fish restaurant (at your own pace and cost) after which you can explore the rest of Volendam's treats.

Choose your adventure:
-The Classic Tour includes the captivating art of clog-making and a cheesemaking demonstration.
-The All-In Tour offers the full flavour: cheese, clogs, a cruise on the Marken Express, entry to a working windmill, and a sweet stop at Woltje's Bakery.
