Description
- After picking you up at your hotel in Amsterdam, at the cruise ship, airport or Passenger Terminal or any other agreed upon location in central Amsterdam, we head for Central Station
- In case you do encounter problems with walking we will take the bus to a stop very close by (within 250 yards) from the entrance of the small village where the windmills are situated
- In case everyone of your party is able to walk well we might take the train instead. The train is faster and there is a nice view from the bridge towards the windmills. The walk from the station to the village is around 2/3 of a mile
- At the windmill complex it is possible to visit the interior of 2 windmills. Entrance fees are not included in the tour price (5 euro per person).
- There are a cheese and wooden shoe factory at the village as well. It is free to watch how they make cheese and wooden shoes
- This Private Tour (only your group, although we will take public transportation) takes 3 to 4 hours.
- This is the closest windmill complex to Amsterdam where you can enter a windmill. You will also see countryside typical of the western Netherlands.
- Tickets for public transportation are included in the price.
- Please let us know if anyone in your group has serious mobility impairments
