Overview

Leave Amsterdam behind for a few hours and discover the typical Dutch countryside outside the capital. You'll drive through a picture-perfect landscape crisscrossed with canals, see authentic wooden houses, windmills and fishing villages, and witness traditional crafts from days gone by.

The picturesque village of Zaanse Schans is famous for its original buildings, vividly capturing Dutch life in the 17th and 18th centuries. Much like the World Heritage Kinderdijk, this town is lined with classic Dutch Windmills.

Experience the old Dutch life in Volendam and Marken with an abundance of inside information from your guide. You'll see the historic shipyard and windmills. Visit a shoemaker who works with wood and watch his clog-making techniques first-hand!

Opt for the Charm of Holland tour option to experience the best of old Holland in a small group, with all of the all-in option inclusions plus lunch at a traditional Dutch fishing restaurant. This luxurious tour departs every Friday!

Excellent tour, well done. Visited inside the windmill. Great experience. Cheese demonstration and tasting was a great experience.

The towns were really nice to visit, but the guide was not doing much.. seems more interested to talk about himself than anything else.

This was a great trip and our tour guide, Katherine, was lovely. The coach was modern and comfortable. Vollendam is a lovely village and the cheese factory was fun. Loved the ferry trip across to Marken, and the clog making demo was very entertaining. The only reason for a 4 star rating (and not 5) was that the windmill village was a bit disappointing- very crowded, very commercial unlike Vollendam and Marken which were completely unspoilt. Otherwise, a good value trip.

The tour guide, Xiaoli, who was knowledgable, helpful, kind and very professional was by far the best part of the experience. It was nice to learn a bit about Dutch history, but I wish they told us much more. The windmill experience was underwhelming. Voldendam was quite nice but we didn't spend nearly enough time there. The reason I gave it 3 stars instead of 1 is because of Xiaoli.
