Discover the great Dutch Windmills and make some nice pictures of it. There are 7 windmills left at the Zaanse Schans and a few are open to visit. You can visit the paint windmill (that is where Rembrandt the great Dutch artist purchased his paint), a saw mill, a spice mill and many more. Admission to the windmill park and parking costs are included in this tour.
Learn more about the Dutch wooden shoe making and see a demonstration how they make the Dutch clogs now. There is a possibility to buy the wooden shoes, the clogs and other souvenirs in the wooden shoe factory as well.
Possibility to see the paint windmill (that is where Rembrandt the great Dutch artist purchased his paint) or saw mill from inside. There is also a possibility to take nice pictures of the windmills.
See a real Dutch farm with cows and baby cows. You will get an explanation how the Henri Willig farm makes their cheese from the milk of the Jersey cows. They have an automatic milking robot and see how they milk their cows automatically. After the cows it is time to taste their special Gouda cheese. You can eat as much cheese as you want for free! There are more than 30 different types of cheese so enjoy! There is a possibility to buy the cheese and if you don't have enough room in your suitcase you can let them ship the cheese to your country.
Explore the nice and most famous Dutch fishing village Volendam. You can have a nice lunch in one of the best fish restaurants in town, buy very nice fresh Dutch waffles or Dutch mini pancakes. Stroll over the famous dijk and see the nice harbor of Volendam. There is also a possibility to buy some souvenirs as well.
Excellent way to see a wonderful cheese farm with all the updates of robotic milking and care. This is a must see. As well as a great tour of wooden clog making and the a delightful walk in a tourist village in Vonderdam. Our guide was great!!!
We had a great tour with Gillio. He was very knowledgable and kept us ahead of the big crowds all day. Well worth it to do a private tour. Beautiful area the windmills were a highlight for sure!
Johan was a great host. We learned about the places we visited and about Netherlands culture. Some locations were quite busy and he worked his magic to get us seeing the sites and checked out with our purchased items. I highly recommend this tour for those that want to see sites outside of the city of Amsterdam. The countryside was quite lush and beautiful.
Our tour was absolutely amazing. Our driver and guide Mesut, could not have been better. We absolutely loved visiting Zaanse Schans Windmills, cheese and clogs and Volendam. Mesut knew which lines to get in and and how to make the most of our time. I would do this tour every time I visited Amsterdam and would recommend to everyone.
Our driver was excellent…very knowledgeable and willing to answer a million questions. Each of the places we visited was wonderful…a most enjoyable day.
It was Great an Guillio was a very nice person, and everything was wonderfull. Super recomendado, los molinos, Volendam todo muy lindo
Gavin did. a great job driving us to the windmills and Volendam…even when there was an accident blocking our way
Gillio our guide was exceptional! He got us to each place and gave us lots of information, then gave us the option to explore on our own. He was friendly, professional and prompt. We loved getting off the beaten path in Amsterdam and taking a step back in the country.
I enjoyed waking through the old windmills and especially liked watching a clog beeing made. At the cheese factory it was great to see the robot milking the cow. Delicious cheeses were available to taste too. The fishing village of Volendam was quaint with great food.
We had a very nice morning with Gillio. We were picked up on time at 8:30; it was a clean, comfortable vehicle, and he was a good driver. Pleasant conversation as well. Gillio got us to each location ahead of the big tours, so we were able to enjoy each stop without crowds. The windmills were interesting, as was the clog making process. The cheese factory was also an interesting stop. We learned about their ethical cattle farming and were told how the cheese was originally made, but it would have been neat also to see how they make it now. We made purchases at each stop - there was no pressure whatsoever to buy anything - we decided to buy. While the selection was best at the stops we made, we noticed later during our time in Amsterdam that the prices were at least 10% more expensive than other places. Just an FYI if you are thinking of buying anything. We then spent an hour on our own at Volendam, which was plenty of time to take in the sights, stroll down the streets, and sample a few items from various restaurants that we passed by. Thank you, Gillio, for a great morning!
Guillermo was excellent guide. He accomplished everything I requested and more. Prompt pickup and chef all the boxes.
We had the most amazing day with Ben as our tour guide and driver. Not only was he knowledgeable about history and the sites, he was the most amazing person. We loved him! The car was pure luxury. The places he took us were so interesting. He showed us things on our private tour that the groups don’t get to see. Everyone who can should go on this tour. You won’t be disappointed.
Wonderful trip! The driver was very friendly, knowledgeable, and made the trip very comfortable and enjoyable!! The windmills were fascinating and the cheese was delicious!! Highly recommend!!
Johan was our guide / driver and was very good It was also a very nice touch from him to give us each a small key as a token
Our guide was prompt and informative. He brought the area to life in a personal way that was well worth the cost. we were very impressed with the tour and would highly recommend this trip to anyone.
Absolutely fantastic time! Such a beautiful countryside and it was nice to get out of Amsterdam. Our tour guide was amazing and so much fun! 10/10 recommend.
