Overview

    Leave Amsterdam behind for a few hours and discover the typical Dutch countryside outside the capital. You'll drive through a picture-perfect landscape crisscrossed with canals, see authentic wooden houses, windmills and fishing villages, and witness traditional crafts from days gone by.

    The picturesque village of Zaanse Schans is famous for its original buildings, vividly capturing Dutch life in the 17th and 18th centuries. Much like the World Heritage Kinderdijk, this town is lined with classic Dutch Windmills.

    Experience the old Dutch life in Volendam and Marken with an abundance of inside information from your guide. You'll see the historic shipyard and windmills. Visit a shoemaker who works with wood and watch his clog-making techniques first-hand!

    Opt for the Charm of Holland tour option to experience the best of old Holland in a small group, with all of the all-in option inclusions plus lunch at a traditional Dutch fishing restaurant. This luxurious tour departs every Friday!
