Overview of your Amsterdam tour:

This 4-hour tour brings us to the Zaan region by a short train ride. Once we arrive at the Zaanse Schans, I will offer you an extensive guided tour along the highlights of the site. We can enjoy the lovely architecture of the typical Zaan houses, a wooden shoe workshop, a wooden barrel workshop and quaint historic shops like a bakery and a replica of the first supermarket of the Netherlands. We will walk along the dike next to the Zaan river, to see the mansions of wealthy maritime traders, and to enjoy a gorgeous view on the windmills. We visit a clog workshop and other places. If you like, you can taste different kinds of cheese in the Cheese farm, or try a piece of local apple pie in one of the restaurants by the river.
