Discover Volendam, Marken and the Amsterdam Windmills in one all-inclusive day
Board your transport in central Amsterdam and prepare for a scenic journey from the city to the Dutch countryside. As you pass through several villages in North Holland, listen to your audio guide and learn about the landscapes, including dikes and polders—areas of land reclaimed from the water.
Your first stop will be Zaanse Schans, a beautiful town on the banks of the Zaan River and a popular destination for its well-preserved windmills, some dating back to the 17th century. See evocations of traditional Dutch life at the historic shipyard, as well as the iconic Dutch windmills.
Next, continue to Volendam and Marken, admiring a picturesque scene of fishing boats and the occasional local in traditional Dutch attire. In addition to stops of approximately 45 minutes in each town, you'll visit a nearby cheese factory for a demonstration and a sample of their dairy production.
A visit to a local shoemaker to admire the art of carving and painting the wooden clogs for which the Netherlands is known is also a memorable part of the trip.
The tour also includes a free 30-minute boat ride between Volendam and Marken. After plenty of photo opportunities, the tour concludes with a bus ride back to central Amsterdam.
Notes:
This tour requires moderate walking.
