Explore the Dutch countryside at its best by leisurely visiting the most beautiful places in traditional Holland. With this tour, you’ll visit the picturesque towns of Volendam, Zaanse Schans, Edam, and Marken. In each town, your guide will accompany you on guided walks and provide fascinating information about the sights.
Discover the essence of the Netherlands and enjoy a day filled with fun on this special full-day trip. During your visits, you will uncover traditional Dutch customs in each town. For example, at Zaanse Schans, you will witness the world-famous antique windmills still in use today and have the opportunity to step inside one. There, a miller will demonstrate how it all works.
Experience a demonstration by one of the few remaining professional clog makers on the former island of Marken, showcasing their craft alongside an antique steam engine. You'll also have the opportunity to visit an authentic Marken home from the 1940s. As part of the experience, enjoy a two-course lunch at a traditional restaurant located in either Marken or Volendam's harbor.
Embark on a boat cruise across the IJsselmeer Lake instead of returning to the bus for travel between Marken and Volendam. In the picturesque village of Volendam, participate in a cheese-making demonstration and indulge in a wine and cheese tasting at the cheese factory. Additionally, experience a demonstration of making delicious stroopwafels and savor an unbelievably tasty stroopwafel liqueur at a traditional bakery.
Immerse yourself in the colorful costumes of the locals as you walk through these traditional places. Encounter the rich culture firsthand, and explore opportunities in each town to purchase souvenirs such as clogs, ceramics, tulips, and much more.
