Additional Information

Experience a half-day tour filled with sightseeing at the windmills and in Volendam. When you venture beyond the confines of the Dutch capital, a whole new world unfolds before you. The adjacent small towns resemble living museums. On this Dutch Countryside and Windmills Tour, we shuttle you from Amsterdam to the quaint villages of Zaanse Schans and Volendam.

Witness the last operational windmill on earth capable of producing paint. The renowned Dutch artist, Rembrand van Rijn, sourced his paint from this very windmill.

A trip to Zaanse Schans ensures an ample dose of historic windmills. More than a dozen windmills populate the banks of the Zaan River; the surrounding area, which essentially is a live museum, invites your exploration at no cost. For a minimal fee, you can explore the inside of certain windmills. Zaanse Schans serves as one of the prime destinations in Holland for windmill sightings.

A local cheese farm visit is also on the agenda, where you can sample distinctive Dutch cheese. Opportunities to purchase cheese and traditional wooden clogs will also be available.
