What To Expect
Zaanse Schans
Here we have the opportunity to visit the best windmills in Holland. In the Seventeenth Century the Zaanse Schans was the biggest industrial area in the world. A Dutch windmill basically was a little factory. Each windmill was custom build for producing various products like paint, cooking oil, paper and wood. On the bank of the river Zaan hundreds of windmills were grinding, pounding, sawing and crushing. Products of the Zaanse Schans were exported all over the world. The dozen windmills on the Zaanse Schans are still fully operational. On a good windy day we’ll see them turning at full speed. Entrance to one of the windmills is included in this tour.
Edam
The village of Edam lies on a dike next to a big fresh water lake. Edam is famous for cheese making. It’s also a good place to try some Dutch seafood, like herring.

5.00Highly recommended for a small group (2-6 people). The country north of Amsterdam is a true treasure trove of incredibly interesting experiences, like why the invention of saw mills changed the course of world history. We saw multiple working windmills, cheese/diary farms, churches, etc. We highly recommend this tour with Philippe in his very comfortable over-sized van.
Outstanding Experience

5.00My wife and I had a wonderful day with Teun. He is a very knowlegable and friendly guy and was open to our ideas, changes and thoughts to make the day special for us. Teun knows where the big tour buses are and if you are on his same page will avoid them wherever possible. Hitting areas and traveling on roads where the large group aren't are the the reasons we booked this trip. Teun delivered. We had a great time.

5.00This private tour was great! The windmill tour of a working sawmill was wonderful. Tom took us to a lot of little cities and a wonderful place to stop and have lunch. He even drove back a half an hour to retrieve my cellphone that I had left in a bathroom. I will be forever thankful to him for doing that. We had extra time at the end of the tour to go by the neighborhood where he grew up. I would highly recommend this tour!
