Experience Holland with Holland Windmills, our small and local tour company. We are born and raised here and love to show you the best places during your holiday in Holland. We also love telling you stories about Holland! See famous windmills, taste cheese, try wooden shoes and walk through scenic villages. We know the best sights, what to visit and where to eat. Let us take you places where the crowds don't go and explore Holland at your own pace. Cheaper than a taxi, better than a big group tour and a lot more comfortable than organizing everything on your own. Ideal for couples, families and friends!

Departure Point

Traveler pickup is offered

Pick up time is 9:00am. We pick up from any hotel, Airbnb address or location in Amsterdam within a radius of 6 miles (10 kilometers) from the city center. If you want to start the tour at a different time feel free to ask. For a pickup (and/or return) from Schiphol Amsterdam Airport we charge €30,- cash payment on the day itself. That is because the airport is 20 kilometers (10 miles) from the city center so it’s costing us extra time and we pay 2 euros per liter gasoline.

Traveler pickup
  • Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, Schiphol, The Netherlands
  • Cruiseboulevard 10, 1976 AB IJmuiden, Netherlands
  • De Ruijterkade 7, 1011 AC Amsterdam, Netherlands
  • De Ruijterkade 140, 1011 AC Amsterdam, Netherlands
  • Zaanse Schans, Zaandam, The Netherlands
    Here we have the opportunity to visit the best windmills in Holland. In the Seventeenth Century the Zaanse Schans was the biggest industrial area in the world. A Dutch windmill basically was a little factory. Each windmill was custom build for producing various products like paint, cooking oil, paper and wood. On the bank of the river Zaan hundreds of windmills were grinding, pounding, sawing and crushing. Products of the Zaanse Schans were exported all over the world. The dozen windmills on the Zaanse Schans are still fully operational. On a good windy day we’ll see them turning at full speed. Entrance to one of the windmills is included in this tour.
    90 minutes
  • Simonehoeve, Katwoude, The Netherlands
    At this family owned cheese farm they tell you everything you always wanted to know about cheese and wooden shoes. Of course there is a large variety of cheeses to taste from as well as fruit whine and typical Dutch cookies and you can buy your favorite cheese, clogs and all kinds of souvenirs.
    45 minutes
  • Volendam, Volendam, The Netherlands
    Volendam is build on a dike next to het IJsselmeer and is famous for the picturesque harbor. The old fisherman’s quarter is called the Maze. It’s a labyrinth of alleyways and dwarf sized houses. Volendam is perfect to try some Dutch seafood. Most famous is raw herring with pickles and onions. It’s not as bad as it sounds. It’s actually very tender and tastes a bit like sushi, only fishier. Most of our guests actually finish it! Another dish is kibbeling, battered and deep fried pieces of codfish served with tartar sauce. Volendam has a pretty large variety of bars and restaurants where it’s possible to try local beer and/or have lunch.
    60 minutes
  • Monnickendam, Monnickendam, The Netherlands
    Monnickendam is one of the oldest towns in Holland and incredibly beautiful. We drive through the old center passing the old church with it’s amazing bell tower and watch typical Dutch vessels in the harbor.
  • Marken, Marken, The Netherlands
    Marken used to be an island in the open sea but now it’s a quaint peninsula in the fresh water lake IJsselmeer. Several houses and even small neighborhoods are listed as national cultural monument and here it’s also possible to have lunch, in a cafe on the waterside.
    45 minutes
  • Waterland, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
    Waterland is called the wetlands of Amsterdam, with old villages, fields and hundreds of ditches. It’s a landscape with narrow waterways called ‘sloten’, meadows, reeds, cows, sheep, horses and birds, farms and church towers on the horizon. This area is mostly peatland and also full of lakes. The landscape does not get more Dutch than this anywhere else.
    45 minutes
  • Kerkplein 13, 1151 AH Broek in Waterland, Netherlands
    In the centre of Waterland is the village of Broek. Although it's only a fifteen minutes drive from Amsterdam, Broek in Waterland feels completely different from the cosmopolitan city. Most of the old houses, farms and even the church were made out of wood. Stone buildings were too heavy for the soft soil. There are still many beautiful large wooden houses with gardens full of flowers. It’s very peaceful and quiet and we’re pretty much the only touroperator that goes there because large busses with tourists are not even welcome.

We had a lovely experience with Philip who was an amazing guide. He was friendly, funny, and knew just about everything about the Dutch countryside. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to have a wonderful experience.

Peter, our guide and driver, was personable and gave us so much information about the windmills and the history of the area. The tour was more like an experience. We felt like we made a friend in Peter.
