Small-Group Tour to Windmills & Giethoorn with boat tour
Description
The famous Dutch windmills at the Zaanse Schans and the picturesque village of Giethoorn form the perfect combination for an unforgettable day trip. As a symbol of Dutch cultural heritage, the windmills play an important part in the country’s history. They were not only used for grinding wheat into flour, but also to pump out water from the diked marches to form one-third of today's national territory, which otherwise would have been under water. Not only, will you be able to wander amongst these architectural beauties, we will also take you to Giethoorn village, one of the most worthwhile scenic spots of the Netherlands. Join us and experience both of these breath-taking locations in true OuYi Travel style. With a comfortable 9-seats Mercedes Van and our professional tour guide, and small groups we can offer you comfort, flexibility, and a great time.

Itinerary
Our guide will pick you up at the Amsterdam NH Barbizon Hotel and bring you directly to the symbolic Dutch Windmills of the Zaanse Schans. Almost every windmill has its own function and story. Explore the different windmill museums at your own pace, visit the traditional wooden shoes factory, and have a free-taste of some of The Netherlands most famous cheeses.
Giethoorn, also known as the Venice of the North, is one of the most beautiful and authentic villages in The Netherlands. Enjoy a private canal cruise (1 hour) and the breath-taking scenery as we take you off the beaten track to explore the village. There will also be enough time for you to wander the picturesque streets at your own leisure. Around 17:00, we will head back and arrive in Amsterdam around 18:45.
