Additional Information & Description
Zaanse Schans, Edam, Marken and Volendam bring the Dutch countryside into a single guided trip from Amsterdam. The route takes you through four villages, moving beyond the city for a closer look at traditional Dutch sights. With a total duration of five hours and 30 minutes, this is a countryside excursion rather than a full-day outing.
Windmills and village scenery
Historic windmills are a highlight of Zaanse Schans, and you’ll see many windmills along the route. The sights also include tulip fields and the old Dutch town of Volendam, where colorful wooden houses and fishing boats in the harbor give the village its distinctive character. These stops bring together several different parts of the landscape: mills, fields, village streets and a working waterfront.
Clog-making and Dutch cheese
A clog-making demonstration shows how traditional Dutch wooden shoes are made, adding a practical craft element to the sightseeing. Dutch cheese tasting is also included, so the visit is not limited to looking at village scenery. The demonstration and tasting give you two specific encounters with Dutch traditions: watching a craft take shape and sampling a local food. Beyond the included cheese tasting, food and drinks are not included.
Travel by bus and boat
Roundtrip transportation from Amsterdam is included, with travel by air-conditioned bus. The itinerary also includes a boat tour from Marken to Volendam, making the journey between those villages part of the visit itself. The combination of road travel and a boat crossing adds a different perspective to the route without requiring you to arrange the individual transfers.
Live guidance and onboard audio
The guided tour includes a live guide in English or Spanish. On the bus, an audio guide is available in Arabic, Catalan, Chinese, Dutch, English, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Turkish. Earphones are included for the audio commentary, giving you a broader choice of listening languages during the bus journey.
