What To Expect
Zaanse Schans
One of the topsights of the country! Water, mills, wooden houses. This is where the past comes alive. Explore the area by walking, cycling or from the water. You can also visit the (inside of) the windmills and museums. Or just laze around and enjoy the wonderful view.
Afsluitdijk
This water barrier is the most impressive example of Dutch water management. The construction of the 32 kilometers long dyke started a hundred years ago. It connects the provinces of Noord Holland and Friesland. We stop at the watchtower for a splendid view upon the construction with the ‘wadden sea’ at one side and the ‘IJsselmeer lake’ on the other.

5.00We had an excellent day out with Simon as our guide and driver. The tour took us to Zaanse Schans and then away from the tourist trail, across the incredible enclosing dyke into Friesland where we visited the medieval towns of Sneek and Muiderslot. It was great for us to get away from tourist crowds and we practically had Muiderslot castle to ourselves on the day we visited. Simon was friendly, accommodating and a wealth of information. A generous snack bag was provided for us and we had time for a sit down lunch in Sneek. We would definitely recommend this tour!
