Excellent tour from Centraal Amsterdam to Zaanse Schans. Driver was very polite, kind and provided rain ponchos to anyone who wanted one. Our guide Lise toured us around providing tidbits of information and answering our questions. We saw the picturesque village, the windmills (entry into one of the windmills was included), a clog factor tour which included a live demo of a clog being made and a cheese factory tour/sampling. FYI - the cheese is delicious, definitely bring some home!

Our tour guide was knowledgeable and well organized during our tour- very cheerful and answered all questions. The history and relocation of these windmills adds to the wonder of this special area. Would recommend this tour to all ages!

Very nice and informative guide. Learned a lot of details about life in small towns long ago. Shoe making was interesting.

The town while touristy is cute and it is very cool to see the windmills! The cheese and clog shops do have demonstrations, but it’s definitely geared towards tourists. Our guide was very knowledgeable, but almost too much so. We spent so long in the actual town looking at the houses with too many folksy stories about the history and barely had any time at the windmills. We also didn’t get the chance to walk around on our own and were even running late at the end because of the endless stories. It seems like there are lots of different guides based on the reviews and the time spent at each location/activity varies so maybe contact the operator to see who the guide is. I would have wanted more time at the windmills and some time to explore alone instead of over an hour just on the houses in the town and the history.
