About this activity

Start your journey from Amsterdam alongside your guide at a departure time of your choice, and enjoy a comfortable car ride to the Dutch countryside. Your first stop is Zaanse Schans, a little village full of traditional crafts, windmills, and quaint wooden houses. Visit artisanal craftsmen including a wooden-shoe workshop, a cheese farm, and an operating industrial windmill with plenty of personalized attention from your local guide. Then, hop aboard your private boat as you view the windmills from a different perspective by cruising along the Zaan river towards Zaandam. Refuel with a traditional Dutch lunch in Zaandam before getting back on the boat to see this unique and historical city from the water, as your skipper regales you with stories about life along the Zaan river. The 5-hour tour concludes back at your original starting point in Amsterdam.

The tour itself was wonderful - David did a nice job. We had a pickup from the airport hotel and toured the windmills and shops in Zaanse Schans before a motorboat cruise on the Zaan River. Lunch in Zaandam was nice. Our issue was we booked a tour for 4 adults but the vehicle they arrived in was too small to accommodate all of us. They didn't have another vehicle available and we only had that day for the tour, so my husband decided not to go and missed out on the experience. The company refunded his fee but we were disappointed he couldn't join us.

We have a wonderful day - everyone from the tour group really made this tour great. They picked us up and brought us to meet our guide (Toots) at Zaanse Schans which is so unique...wooden houses, mills, barns and workshops. Then we went on a boat ride on the River Zaan, the boat captain was great and pointed out so many things for us to see. After the boat ride, he took us to a restaurant to have a Dutch Pancake lunch. This was lovely, food was so good and they made up the small pancakes for dessert! They picked us up and brought us back to the apartment. We had no worries, everything was taken care of and we just had a ball!

Bart took us on an amazing, not rushed, private adventure where we experienced the beauty of old Holland's windmills, old towns, cheese and clog making as well as a great tour of the river. Very informative and not rushed at all! Highly recommended if you have little ones!
