Additional Information

Embark on a half-day excursion to the windmills and Volendam. On stepping out of Amsterdam, you will find yourself in a totally different world, with nearly all small towns around the city akin to open-air museums. The Dutch Countryside and Windmill Tour will transport you from the Amsterdam to Zaanse Schans and Volendam.

Witness the planet’s last functioning windmill which can create paint. The celebrated Dutch artist, Rembrandt van Rijn, used to source his paints from this very windmill.

A trip to Zaanse Schans fills you with the rich history of windmills. More than ten windmills are set along the Zaan river banks, and the surrounding area, open for your exploration, is truly an outdoor museum. Some of the windmills can be entered with a small extra fee. Zaanse Schans stands as one of the prime locations to see windmills in Holland.

A visit to a local cheese farm is included, offering a chance to sample unique Dutch cheese. Opportunities to purchase cheese and clogs are also available.
