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.

    Great option to visit this part of Netherlands. Jamal, our guide was with us since he picked us up at the Cruise port where we arrived, got off with us at Zaanse Schans and guided us around the village explaining all the details, giving us time for shopping besides that he is a great photographer. Then he took us to a cheese farm and finally to Volendam where he recommended a great place to eat.

    Traffic was bad. The driver was friendly but not talkative and somewhat difficult to understand The windmills were very crowded but the making of the clogs and the cheese farm were interesting. Our last stop had been a fishing village a long time ago but now is a waterfront with a lots of restaurants and shops. .
