Description

Step into the postcard-perfect Dutch countryside just north of Amsterdam. This charming tour takes you through traditional fishing villages, iconic windmills, and lush green pastures filled with grazing cows and cheese farms.

Visit Volendam, the most famous fishing village in the Netherlands. Once a bustling fishing port, it’s now a lively destination full of local cafes, souvenir shops, and a chance to dress up in traditional Dutch attire for a fun photo op.

Wander through Broek in Waterland, a hidden gem often called the most beautiful village in the country. With its colorful wooden houses, manicured gardens, and lakeside views, it’s like stepping into a painting.

Stop at a boutique cheese farm, where you’ll meet dairy cows, witness a modern milking robot in action, learn the secrets of traditional Dutch cheese-making, and of course, enjoy some tasting.

Visit a historic windmill, where you’ll see how the Dutch used wind power to reclaim land from the sea. Don’t forget your camera, this is the real Holland.
