You'll get to explore windmills, witness clogs being made, see dikes, indulge in a cheese tasting, explore the charming fishing village of Volendam and enjoy a ferry ride to the peninsula of Marken. Guided by the Windmill Girls, you will explore the most picturesque windmill sites, charming villages, and traditional Dutch handicrafts. Our tours also includes a visit to an exceptional cheese farm, where you can taste Gouda cheese in 30 delightful flavors. Experience the magic of Holland’s windmills with the Windmill Girls, and let our rich heritage and engaging tales make your journey truly unforgettable. 9.00: Pick up from your hotel in Amsterdam. 9.30: We arrive at The Zaanse Schans. This is a preservation village with a variety of historical houses, warehouses, and working industrial windmills. It feels like you’re traveling back in time! You will experience how life was between the 18th and 19th centuries, and join a wooden shoe workshop to see how clogs are made, concluding with a visit to a working windmill. 12.00: Cheese tasting at a cheese farm in Katwoude At the cheese farm of Henry Willig we will have a Gouda Cheese tasting. They are in the top 10 of the world cheesemakers. If you are a cheese lover… you are in cheese heaven! They have 30 flavors of cheese to taste. 29 are pasteurized so you can travel with the cheese all over the world. They also have options to ship the cheese. So you don’t have to worry about picking only one favorite. 12.45: We’ll head to The famous fishermen’s village of Volendam. 13.00: Lunchtime In Volendam. You can choose where you want to have lunch. As locals, we know a lot of nice places. Whether it’s at a local fish restaurant or just a snack. 14.00 : A walk through Volendam, which is known as the most popular fishing village in Holland. The charm of Volendam rests in its harbour and the authentic fishermen’s houses. The maze is the oldest part of Volendam. This is where we’ll see small fishermen’s houses and narrow streets. What’s unique about the maze is that the houses were built without any street pattern. We’ll take a small stroll in the maze and on the famous dike of Volendam. 14.15: A ferry ride on the IJselmeer to the peninsula of Marken, once an island in the South sea. 14.45: Arrival on Marken. Marken is a tiny village with colorful wooden houses, drawbridges, a small harbor located on a former island. We will make a small stroll through the village. 16.00: Back at your hotel in Amsterdam We hope you like our proposal and ideas!
