About this tour
Explore the most picturesque villages near Amsterdam on this guided tour. Set off from the city in a comfortable air-conditioned coach and head to your first visit point — the picturesque windmill village of Zaanse Schans. Even though the Zaanse Schans is one of the most toured sights in the Netherlands, it is a must-do.
The windmills are impressive, you can stroll past the charming greenhouses and watch local craftsmen at work. The guide will lead you to Edam to witness first-hand how the world-famous Dutch cheeses are made and as an added bonus try it fresh. The icing on the cake is a stop in the traditional fisherman village of Volendam where you will get to walk to St. Vincent’s Church, the wooden Stolphoevekerk and the Visafslag, the famous fresh fish market. This half day trip is suitable for both the young and old.
