Escape to the Windmill Haven of Zaanse Schans

Escape the mundane city routine with this half-day guided tour of the classic Dutch countryside. Upon pick-up from your designated meeting point, you will be driven in a luxury coach to windmill haven - Zaanse Schans. This village is home to windmills dating back to the 18th and 19th centuries. Here, you can watch live demonstrations of craftsmen at work, and then explore the village at your own pace.

Learn all About Dutch Cheesemaking in Edam

Next, you continue on to Edam, the pearl of the Zuiderzee. The town's ancient streets and canals are etched by beautiful 17th-century buildings. Some of these famous structures include the Carillon Tower, the Great Church, and the town hall. You can also check out the public weighing house, where to date Edam cheese is sold every Wednesday.

Visit Major Tourist Attractions in Volendam

Finally, you make a stop at the picturesque seaside village of Volendam. A major tourist attraction since the late 1800s, this fishing village is thronged by thousands to see the small buildings and houses. A great place for a souvenir, and to get pictures clicked in traditional Dutch costume. Your guide will take you on a short walk through the oldest parts of the city, exploring a labyrinth of twists and turns to sites such as St. Vincent’s Church, the wooden Stolphoevekerk and the Visafslag (Fish Auction).
