Explore Dutch windmills, cheese towns, Volendam, and Marken from Amsterdam on a well-priced guided coach tour with optional canal cruise.

“A very entertaining tour with Rob and Petra, despite the grey and initially wet weather the tour was very enjoyable. Rob provided excellent information about the country and the places of interest. I certainly learned a few things from the tour and the background to the Dutch way of life. Highly recommend this tour, to see a little of the Dutch countryside and local sights. The cheese farm was a informative and tasty stop.”

See Zaanse Schans windmills, taste Dutch cheese, watch clog making, and explore by canal on this practical half-day tour from Amsterdam.

“We had a great time visiting zaanse scans. we were only in amsterdam for 2 nights so the 3 hour trip gave us enough time to experience the trip but be back in time to have the afternoon to explore amsterdam. Our guide was really knowledgeable and everything ran on time. The coach was very clean and our driver was really friendly. Zaanse schans is really beautiful and the clog demonstration was really interesting to watch. I would recommend this to anyone visiting Amsterdam as a way to get out the city and experience a bit of traditional Holland.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,063 reviews · 9 hours (approx.) · from $106

See Keukenhof’s spring flowers and Zaanse Schans windmills on a guided Amsterdam day trip, with optional canal cruise and cheese tasting.

“We had an issue getting to the tour on time, but the team were kind enough to accommodate us and get us onto a bus that had not left. We were so thankful, but realized the tour was half English, half Spanish. That was not much of an issue and our tour host was great speaking both languages, but the cheese/ shoe making stop portion was entirely in Spanish, so we did not understand any of that part of our tour. Aside from that, the bus was nice, it was not overpacked and we were given ample time at each stop.”
