Overview

Avoid the inconvenience of renting a car and maneuvering through unfamiliar country roads. With a personal driver/host , your tour becomes effortlessly smooth and stress-free.

Be Dutch for a day! A day full of windmills, cheese and traditional wooden clogs.

Covered with water, cows grazing the fresh grasses, colourful flowers and green-timbered houses, Zaanse Schans is home to what some call the Eighth Wonder of the World: the historic 18th-century windmills.

Everybody knows about cheese, but few know how it’s produced. Your private driver/host will take you to the place where the magic happens, where the Dutch dairy gold is crafted. You will visit a local cheese factory in the picturesque fisherman village of Volendam, where you will be taught about the cheese-making craft and enjoy a delicious cheese tasting.

With windmills and cheese on board, it’s unthinkable to skip the traditional wooden clogs in this tour.

Again excellent tour with our guide who we have appreciated so much for his knowledge and guidance. He truly went out of his way to make us feel comfortable and welcomed despite the terrible weather we had. We enjoyed ourselves, thank you Elias!

Wonderful tour with our guide Elias. Did the windmills and dairy farm and cheese factory, and the picturesque town of Giethorn. Lovely tour, and highly recommend

Zaanse Schans was a lovely working museum, it was fascinating to see the clogs being made, and the windmills. We also really enjoyed the visit to the dairy farm and cheese making and tasting. The automated processes of the farm were fascinating to see in action. Volendam is a lovely little village and the weather couldn’t have been better to get out of Amsterdam and do a quick exploration of the surrounding area.

We booked this tour expecting a tour guide. We have had tours with La Vacanza Travel and they were great. This person just drove us to the different sites and let us wander around. Then after the seaside town he said it will be $95 more to go to windmills. Then in route he says another $95 will be needed because windmill tour takes 2 hrs. And asked for parking fee at windmills. When we book tours we expect getting historical and cultural perspectives from the tour guide. Very dissatisfied with this guide.

Younes was the most incredible guide! He was kind, patient, and funny- among other things. He was prompt upon pickup and totally flexible on what we wanted to see. We love Amsterdam but have never been out to the countryside. This was a spectacular day. We started at the windmills. The scenery was gorgeous! We had perfect weather. Then to see clogs being made. nd off to the Henri Willig cheese farm. We got a private instruction on how they make the cheese. We saw cows being milked. Then we sampled MANY different kinds of gouda. We had some shipped home and we can't wait for it to get here. We LOVED this tour AND Younes!
