This tour offers you pure Dutch culture. Discover the ultimate windmill town of the Netherlands, visit the country’s most famous fishing village, learn about cheese making, and watch how a shoemaker crafts traditional wooden clogs, an experience perfectly captured in our Volendam & Zaanse Schans Private Tour.
Volendam is the most famous fishing village in the Netherlands, and not without reason. It once served as the harbour of the nearby town of Edam, before locals created a shortcut to the bay. From then on, Volendam became home to fishermen and farmers. The vibrant atmosphere, folkloric costumes worn by locals, and traditional music all form the heart of this picturesque community.
Where the river Zaan meets the green meadows filled with grazing cows, you will find one of the most iconic landmarks of the Netherlands: the windmills of Zaanse Schans. This magnificent line-up of historic windmills creates a striking skyline on the horizon, their blades rotating to capture the wind across the flat Dutch landscape.
