Description

Discover authentic Dutch culture on this small-group morning tour. Just 20 minutes from Amsterdam, we visit the charming village of Edam, home to the original cheese market where cheese was traded centuries ago. Learn about traditional cheese-making and enjoy a fresh tasting at a real working farm. Next, we travel to Schermerhorn, where the oldest polder in the Netherlands was created using historic 400 year old windmills. Step inside an original windmill, see how families once lived, and learn how wind power was used to drain water and create farmland. With a knowledgeable guide and a relaxed small-group setting, this tour offers an authentic and educational introduction to Dutch windmills and cheese all within a few hours from Amsterdam.

Very crowded

For me it was too crowded and the market itself was also very crowded. You have to like it. To taste and buy a cheese stand, rest stands,everything possible in goods

Alkamar cheese market was the only good part of the whole trip

Tour guide Bea was super boring- she was like a school teacher whose only job was to give lecture- no light moments- no bottle bottle was provided- we were taken to a shop where. Hundreds of people were there so no cheese making process was seen no tulip field was visited. Alkamar cheese market was good- but tour guide was not helpful in any way

Operator response

We're sorry you didn't enjoy the tour. We're sorry to hear that you weren't able to fully enjoy the tour and that it felt too busy. Our apologies as well that we didn’t pass by tulip fields along the roads. Also, just to clarify, we don’t visit a cheese factory with expert, but rather go to the traditional cheese market. We’re sorry if this was misunderstood. We hope that despite this, you had a nice holiday and that you enjoyed your visit to the cheese market.

Excellent Experience!

Excellent day spent in the country with a very pleasant guide. Well worth the cost. We would not have seen anything outside Amsterdam if not for this trip. It gave us perspective on the history and the geography of Holland as a country. Entertaining and informative.

The best tour of tulips in Holland!

This was an excellent experience. It covered a lot of ground: a windmill tour, romping in the tulip fields with picking a bouquet and then lunch, followed by a boat tour. Mike is an outstanding guide; he's enthusiastic, caters to his guests and is a good boat captain. He knows all about tulip farming and is anxious to share his knowledge. I loved picking my own bouquet and photographing the gorgeous flowers. The boat ride was especially memorable, we seemed to go forever, and saw some beautiful homes. Mike's tour was one of the highlights of our stay in Amsterdam.

Tulips in Giethoorn

Tulip farmer and guide Mike is the best. He showed me tulips in Giethoorn. It was a super cool photoshoot in the fall with tulips. My friends from Instagram were completely overwhelmed. Mike, thank you so much.
