Take a day trip by bus from Amsterdam for a comfortable break into deep-rooted Dutch tradition! Travel beyond breathtaking countryside, connect to free Wi-Fi, and get carried away by the iconic windmills.

At first, Zaanse Schans welcomes you to a village like no other. Walk around at leisure; admire the windmills that are perfectly preserved and the quaint old houses. Onwards now to Volendam, the lively fishing village. There, visit a cheese shop where the old ways are still used, and enjoy an instructive Volendam cheese presentation. Then, enjoy a fine lunch in a traditional fish restaurant (at your own pace and cost), after which you can explore the rest of Volendam's treats.

    Marken can be easily skipped. The clog making work shop was really average. But ya Zaanse schans and voldemom are really cute towns.

    Not terrible, not great either. Tour was fine for what it was. I wouldn’t recommend going for those with mobility issues. Lots of uneven surfaces

  • Not authentic, very touristy.

    Stops were not authentic, mainly tourist traps to get you to buy something. There was no actual demonstration or explanation of cheese making. The villages were set up just for tourists. I do not recommend this tour. However the bus driver, Stef, was excellent.
