“What can I say! This is one of the best tours ever. Susana has that angel that since moment one she speaks you know this woman is knowledgeable, kind, and enough. She was able to provide accurate information and guidance. She was there reachable at all times making the tour an above and beyond experience.

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 15,034 reviews · 8 hours · from $32

8-hour bus trip from Amsterdam to Zaanse Schans windmills, Edam cheese, clog-making, and the villages of Volendam and Marken.

“Eight hours on a bus trip! But trips were short, washrooms readily available, and stops had time to take in the area. Juan (?) the guide was quite knowledgeable on the area. There were 5 stops, each different and unique stories. It was quite relaxing and enjoyable for a day out. The meeting place was a ten minute walk from the back of Centraal Station. Recommended for a day out in the countryside.”

Zaanse Schans was beautiful and the clog and cheese experiences were very fun. Volendam provided a quiet relaxing stop with great shops and restaurants. Giethoorn was a fairytale where the roads were replaced with canals. I highly recommend this tour and ask for Adonis he’s fantastic!!!”
