A visit to Amsterdam and the Netherlands would not be complete without having seen the lovely Dutch countryside.
Journey from Amsterdam on an informative tour of the picturesque Dutch countryside. Visit one of the most popular destinations outside of Amsterdam, the windmills of Zaanse Schans, and see its typical green-timbered houses and warehouses.
In Zaanse Schans, admire a collection of well-preserved historic windmills and houses and visit a working windmill. Then visit the famous and lively fishing village of Volendam. Stop by a cheese factory/museum and enjoy lunch at a traditional fish restaurant.
Afterwards travel back in time to the quaint island community of Marken, where you will visit a wooden shoe maker. In Volendam, try to spot the recognizable Dutch traditional costumes often featured on tourist postcards and posters. You will also have a chance to visit a cheese shop that still makes cheese in the traditional Dutch method before returning to Amsterdam.
