The WIndmill village of the Netherlands. The oldes industrial area of europe where the Dutch heritage is shown. We will visit a windmill inside.
A family owned farm where clogs are made by hand and Gouda cheeses are produced by hand.
In our opinion the best fishing village around. an old fishing village and away from the masses. Former stinky town because of many smokehouses.
A beautifull Fishing village next to Monnickendam. Depending on the weather, day the guide will guide to the best choice for that day.
In the 18th and 19th centuries, Broek in Waterland was considered a major international tourist attraction.

While the visit to the windmill village was very interesting, there were the expected large number of tour buses and crowds. Our driver next took our group of 8 to a family-run small cheese and wooden shoe maker with virtually no other tourists. Very informative demonstration. The next visit, to a small coastal fishing village, was also very quaint and uncrowded. The final stop was at another small and interesting coastal village. At all stops the guide, Toli, was well-informed. The tour was in a minivan. Those in the middle and rear seats could only partly hear the commentary from the front and the frequent conversations and questions among the guide and the front seat passengers. I’m afraid we missed lots of good information. We recommend getting the front seat for the better experience.
Apostolis did a wonderful job of touring us and sharing information about all the areas we visited. He was very informative and gave us a good understanding of the history and lifestyle of the different areas.
Our guide, Apostolis, made the tour truly memorable. He shared detailed and fascinating information about the places we visited, explaining not only what we were seeing, but also the history, the reasons behind it, and the stories that brought everything to life. He was punctual, pleasant, engaging, and kept us well informed while highlighting all the important points along the way. We also preferred being in a small group tour instead of a larger big bus tour and thought it was advantageous for us. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would definitely recommend this tour!
Very interesting tour. Guide was very knowledgeable, would highly recommend.
Even though it was a very rainy and windy day we enjoyed our tour with Apostle. He was engaging and allowed flexibility in our time visiting and exploring. Disappointed we couldn’t walk the various villages but Mother Nature had something else in mind.
Excellent tour with a small group of people so we got to do an experience things where all the large tour buses were not. Private trip to a cheese maker, and wooden shoe crafter. We also went to a small fishing village for lunch and got to go to another small village and I was having a street fair. Would highly recommend a tour!
Definitely small group and was tailored for our group and our guide, Apostolis, was very flexible. Very informative about places visited and history of the Netherlands. The places visited were exactly as advertised and seemed to go to places other tours did not.
Guide was knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating. We were given great information about all of our stops. The drive thru the country side was scenic gave us a glimpse of life outside the city. A day well spent.
Zaanse Schans Windmills & Volendam Small-Group Tour from Amsterdam was an absolute highlight. Apostolis was a fantastic guide—knowledgeable, easygoing, and genuinely passionate about every stop on the tour. He gave us plenty of time to explore the windmills, wander through the fishing village, and soak in the scenery at our own pace. He even took us to a great herring spot where we got to try this delicious Dutch treat. I loved it. I’d absolutely recommend booking this tour with Apostolis. Thank you for a memorable day Apostolis.
