We spent a fabulous... - We spent a fabulous afternoon on a private excursion with Kenny. Zaanse Schans is a beautiful, quaint little village which did not disappoint! We enjoyed seeing how wooden shoes are made, tasting lots of cheese and seeing the inner workings of a windmill. Kenny was engaging and has a vast knowledge of the area.

Great tour, highly recommend - Maiki was fabulous. She walked us around the town, giving us the history of the town and the windmills. We got to see how clogs were made (who knew how quickly) , taste some freshly made cheese a and got to go inside a windmill , see the inner working and go to the top and see amazing views. I highly recommended this tour

Maaike’s Your guide for windmills - Maaike’s childhood experiences at her grandfather’s windmill where he lived definitely made an impression on her. Those experiences have made her an excellent guide for Zaanse Schans and any part of the Netherlands as she has great pride and an in-depth knowledge of windmills, historical architecture, waterways, and the country in general. She was delightful and very conversational. We enjoyed our tower entire tour from pick up to drop off. The fan she picked us up in on our private tour was comfortable and well-maintained.
