Be Dutch for a day! A day full of windmills, cheese and traditional wooden clogs.
Covered with water, cows grazing the fresh grasses, colourful flowers and green-timbered houses, Zaanse Schans is home to what some call the Eighth Wonder of the World: the historic 18th-century windmills.
Everybody knows about cheese, but few know how it’s produced. Your private driver/host will take you to the place where the magic happens, where the Dutch dairy gold is crafted. You will visit a local cheese factory in the picturesque fisherman village of Volendam, where you will be taught about the cheese-making craft and enjoy a delicious cheese tasting.
With windmills and cheese on board, it’s unthinkable to skip the traditional wooden clogs in this tour.

Such a lovely little trip into the countryside! We saw windmills, beautiful villages, and if cheese is your thing, this trip is for you. They turned us loose in a cheese tasting room with about 30 different cheeses to sample, along with mustards and dips. Yum! I also loved visiting the windmill that crushed the pigments for paint. We were able to climb the ladder to the second level (a little dizzying!) and then we bought some little jars of pigment to mix our own paints. We ended with a delicious lunch in a charming fishing village. Everything was so convenient. We were picked up and dropped off at our hotel, the van was clean and very comfortable, and our guide was lovely. A great experience.
