Well, that’s what we bring you! It doesn’t matter if you’re more of a photographer, a shopper or a museum; like good chameleons, we adapt to everything

It is included
  • Specialized (and very nice) guide
  • Private transportation. Chese Tasting.
  • Clog handmade demostration.
  • Cruise on Ferry from Volendam to Marken

01.

Zaanse Schans

You have come to Holland to see windmills and we know it, but there are much more. Zaanse Schans is an outdoor museum where life from the 17th and 18th centuries is recreated. Wooden houses and wooden clogs, regional costumes, specific mills … A travel through time!

02.

Edam

It’s not all cheese! Although that is what is known throughout the world, Edam is a fairy-tale village of the most Dutch: its canals, its town hall, its small squares … but quiet, that in this tour there is also gastronomic part. We will visit a cheese factory where, in addition to learning the production process, you will be able to try all the varieties you will find. Ñaaaam!

03.

Volendam

Get the camera ready because this little fishing village looks like something taken out of a movie set. Enjoy the sea breeze on the banks of the Ijsselmeer by strolling along its port and, if you would like a tip, don’t leave Volendam without tasting the local fish. It’s finger-licking good!

04.

Marken

Smooth sailing! To finish, we will embark on the ferry that will take us to the ancient island of Marken.Here we will find more than five centuries of history, just over 1800 inhabitants and its own dialect You won`t find many places with this charm in the Netherlands.

Testimonials

The tour is fantastic, the destinations are as beautiful as they are interesting. Even though the day was very warm and sunny, the places we visited were not very full. I want to thank our guide Blas very much for his work: he has a very deep knowledge of what he is telling, you can tell how much he likes what he is talking about and that makes it very exciting to hear. The company really has found a treasure with a guide of these characteristics, it was a luxury to make the trip with him.
The guide, Jordi, is charming and we liked the day trip a lot. He recommended a very good restaurant in Volendam.
I went on 3 different day trips with this agency, The first was with Ferran, a panoramic tour of the city of Amsterdam; the second was with Paula, where we went to Bruges in Belgium and even though we lost two hours due to an accident on the road, the tour was good; lastly, the third one was with Sergio and we went to visit the cities of Zaanse Schans, Volendam and Edam. They were all good and well planned tours. The guides were excellent, well prepared, communicative and supportive. Very happy with what I saw and with the guides.
When I visit a city I really like to walk through it, and this time as I was visiting with my in-laws who don't speak English, we decided to hire a private tour in Spanish, and it was one of the best decisions we could have made. They explain everything about the city in a tour of approximately two hours and our guide Laura was great. It was so great that the next day we hired her for a private visit to Edam and Volendam, visiting the famous mills and cheeses. If you go to Amsterdam, call them. You won't regret it!
Excellent choice for a visit to the surrounding areas of Amsterdam. I totally recommend this company, we took two tours with them: a visit to the Keukenhof gardens and a private visit to the rural towns of Amsterdam. It was a true joy: very well scheduled, punctual, friendly, good attention. I recommend it. Thank you Laura, Jordi, and Leo.
