Description

Experience the beauty of the Dutch countryside on a full-day adventure from Amsterdam, exploring the iconic windmills of Zaanse Schans and the enchanting village of Giethoorn. Begin your journey with convenient hotel pickup in select Amsterdam areas, traveling in comfort by Mercedes minivan.

Your first stop is a local cheese factory, where you’ll learn how famous Dutch cheeses like gouda are crafted. Savor fresh cheese samples and discover the secrets behind their unique flavors. A complimentary bottle of water, power bank, and umbrella ensure your comfort throughout the day.

Continue to Zaanse Schans, a picturesque town renowned for its historic windmills and traditional crafts. Watch a clog-making demonstration at a family-run workshop and enjoy a diamond demonstration, immersing yourself in authentic Dutch culture.

Next, head to the peaceful canals of Giethoorn, a car-free village known as the "Venice of the North." Relax on a scenic one-hour river cruise, gliding past charming thatched-roof cottages and tranquil waterways. Lunch is not included, so take the opportunity to explore local cafés at your leisure.

After a day filled with Dutch heritage and scenic landscapes, you’ll return to your hotel in Amsterdam with unforgettable memories. Spaces fill quickly for this popular tour, so check availability and secure your spot today!
