Discover the real Netherlands in this amazing tour through Zaanse Schans, Edam, Volendam, and Marken – the jewels of the Dutch countryside.

The visit starts in Zaanse Schans, where you will be able to take pictures of typical Dutch windmills that are still in use today. Afterward, we will drive to the Waterland area, passing through the beautiful villages from this part of the country: Edam, Volendam, and Marken. In Edam, we will walk through historic sites like the square where the famous Cheese Market used to take place. Then, near Volendam, we will visit a local cheese producer, where the cheese master will explain how they produce Gouda and Edam cheeses. In the clog factory, you will discover the secrets of this typical Dutch shoe. Then, travel back in time to the 17th century as we walk by cozy fishermen houses in Marken, the fishing harbor, and the protestant church.

There were so many people on our bus. You couldn’t hear the narrative at the stops and the tastings were too busy. We didn’t have enough time to taste and make a purchase. People on the bus were rude too.

The tour is exceptionally quick of the 4 villages. There is quite a bit of walking. Tour guides were informative and had good stories but with only 40-45 min in each village and trying to herd 76 people along, it was tough to get alot of info. The cheese demonstration was a joke - we hardly sat down before we were moved along to the wooden clogs. In the gift shop, the selection of cheeses was amazing but again, a rushed experience. It would be better if the tour was an extra hour longer to provide a more worthwhile experience.
Interesting and fun with Karl (Webster) as guide.

Our tour guide Karl (Webster) was an absolute delight. He was professional and friendly and had a great sense of humour. His way of telling us all we needed to know about the country and locales made it interesting and fun. This tour was by far one of the better experiences we have had touring through and learning about The Netherlands. i should have taken more photographs.
