Overview
Available languages
Mobile ticket
Avoid the inconvenience of renting a car and maneuvering through unfamiliar country roads. With a personal driver/host , your tour becomes effortlessly smooth and stress-free.
Be Dutch for a day! A day full of windmills, cheese and traditional wooden clogs.
Covered with water, cows grazing the fresh grasses, colourful flowers and green-timbered houses, Zaanse Schans is home to what some call the Eighth Wonder of the World: the historic 18th-century windmills.
Everybody knows about cheese, but few know how it’s produced. Your private driver/host will take you to the place where the magic happens, where the Dutch dairy gold is crafted. You will visit a local cheese factory in the picturesque fisherman village of Volendam, where you will be taught about the cheese-making craft and enjoy a delicious cheese tasting.
With windmills and cheese on board, it’s unthinkable to skip the traditional wooden clogs in this tour.

5.00The drive out to the country was beautiful. Nice to get away from the city for a bit. The cows, cheese, and clog experiences were the highlight. Ben was very knowledgeable and patient, allowing us to take our time and lending great advice. Very nice person. Would recommend not doing the windmills. It was a very crowded tourist trap. Had we known, would have skipped it.
