Highlights
- World Heritage Kinderdijk - To improve the region’s water-management facilities, a series of windmills were constructed near Kinderdijk around 1740. A living testament to The Netherlands’ age-old struggles with rising waters, the mill network at Kinderdijk was built to keep the surrounding region safe from floods. It was awarded UNESCO World Heritage Site status in 1997 due to its cultural, historical and technological significance.

Wonderful Personal Tour of Kinderdijk Windmills and Delft Pottery - Loved every aspect of this trip! Steven was an excellent guide! He was very prompt in his communications and extremely knowledgeable and experienced! The tour was the best of both worlds to see the windmills and visit the town of Delft and get a demonstration of how the beautiful Delft pottery was made! I purchased several pieces which they even provide a shipping service! I highly recommend Steven and this unique tour! Fabulous!
