    * Tip not included

For reference only. Itineraries are subject to change due to weather, traffic and other circumstances.

The Netherlands has a few stereotypes, and when you finally arrive in Amsterdam, you might find quite a lot of them missing. Where are the clogs, the windmills, the endless fields of tulips? If you’re after classic Dutch imagery, then you want Volendam and Marken.

During this tour from Amsterdam, you’ll visit the idyllic villages of Zaanse Schans, Edam (like the cheese), Marken, and Volendam. Along the way, find out how clogs are made, try a fresh stroopwafel, and – of course – see plenty of windmills.

  • Cancellation is possible until 24 hours before your visit.
  • Rescheduling is possible until 24 hours before your visit.

Esperienza molto bella, peccato che a Zaanse Schans venga fornito davvero troppo poco tempo, ci vorrebbe mezz'ora in più almeno per godersela davvero! Per il resto tutto organizzato davvero benissimo
