This was an amazing tour. At first I thought town was a reconstruction but once I met our guide, Karen, and I earned the history I was totally charmed by both Karen’s nd the town. Karen was born and raised in Zaanse Schans and we got to get ann insiders view. Watching the clog maker make a clog in 3-5 minutes and touring the windmill was an added bonus. But Karen was the star of this show!

A great tour in an adorable Dutch town! Our guide (I won’t try spell her name as I don’t want to mess it up) was a lovely young local woman who was so passionate about showing us the town and telling us local stories. We even met her mum and dogs! This tour was excellent and well worth it to see a more authentic side of the Netherlands while visiting the touristy Amsterdam.
