Description

From Amsterdam: Cheese, Windmills & Wooden Shoes Tour

Travel beyond breathtaking countryside, connect to free Wi-Fi, and get carried away by the iconic windmills. At first, Zaanse Schans welcomes you to a village like no other. Walk around at leisure; admire the windmills that are perfectly preserved and the quaint old houses. Onwards now to Volendam, the lively fishing village. There, visit a cheese shop where the old ways are still used, and enjoy an instructive Volendam cheese presentation. Then, enjoy a fine lunch in a traditional fish restaurant (at your own pace and cost), after which you can explore the rest of Volendam's treats.

We didn't have enough time to explore the windmills. It was quite crowded and that meant that we were rushing to get back to the coach. The cheese factory was disappointing because it was actually a shop! We had a brief welcome and talk about cheese making and then visited the shop. We then spent an hour exploring the harbour, shops and cafes. The time, we felt would have been better spent at the windmills. Our guides were very friendly and cheerful.

We had a wonderful time on this tour! Everything was well-organized from start to finish. Our tour guides, Luca and Mercedes, were both incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and fun. A special thanks as well to our amazing driver, Derrick, he made the ride smooth and safe throughout the journey. Highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a well-run and engaging tour. Thank you all for a memorable day!
