Leave Amsterdam behind for a few hours and discover the typical Dutch countryside outside the capital. You'll drive through a picture-perfect landscape crisscrossed with canals, see authentic wooden houses, windmills and fishing villages, and witness traditional crafts from days gone by.
The picturesque village of Zaanse Schans is famous for its original buildings, vividly capturing Dutch life in the 17th and 18th centuries. Much like the World Heritage Kinderdijk, this town is lined with classic Dutch Windmills.
Experience the old Dutch life in Volendam and Marken with an abundance of inside information from your guide. You'll see the historic shipyard and windmills. Visit a shoemaker who works with wood and watch his clog-making techniques first-hand!
Opt for the Charm of Holland tour option to experience the best of old Holland in a small group, with all of the all-in option inclusions plus lunch at a traditional Dutch fishing restaurant. This luxurious tour departs every Friday!

Terrific tour. Guides were good at informing us of the area and directing us from place to place. I would do another tour with Tickets and Tours again.

Absolute total rip off, if you don’t buy the all inclusive tour every stop they hit you up for more money. The guide actually told us if you don’t buy upgrade wait here for bus. When we asked what is there to do where they stopped she said there is nothing to see.THIS TOUR IS A COMPLETE RIPOFf!!!!!!

Stef & Diana were amazing. Mum is on a walker and the driver had a wheelchair and took her everywhere. She could not have done it without him.. Diana was great guide, so friendly and informative.. if you are reading this review to decide if it's worth it...IT IS! :)

Windmills, wooden shoes, history all at a great pace with wonderful guide. Definitely worth going with the all inclusive trip. Great price.

The Windmill tour was nice but I lost the group. The bus left without us. Did not get to finish the tour. Will not use Tours and Tickets again.

This is a fantastic trip. We did the all inclusive trip. The visit to the windmill was very interesting as was the clog making demo.
The boat trip from Marken to Volendam was great, it being a nice warm day. Loved the cheese and stroopwaffle demo in Volendam. Both were very tasty.
Our guides, Tony and Miria were fantastic. Great knowledge about the area and good restaurant recommendations in Volendam. There is also an audio commentary on the bus while you drive between each stop.
I would highly recommend this trip while in Amsterdam

Sadly, the most memorable thing about this trip were both the horrible weather and the wonderful people we met on the trip. I think the experience would have been better had the wind been less than 25 mph with 37 mph gusts and horizontal rain that was freezing. Also there were just too many tourists at the site. People actually live in this area, yet, there were hundreds of tourists in a small area. I was glad to see the windmills, and the guy doing the wooden shoe demonstration was really great, but over all, it was a shopping experience. This is the fourth Viator tour I've ever been on and the first two were fabulous, the third was not good, and this one, even given that no one can control the weather, was just average. The site was wonderful, but it would have been better had we done it ourselves, as we do the rest of our travel experiences.

Excellent sample of experiences. I was not expecting to enjoy them all . Guides did a great job. Bus was late, but they did a good job of recovering
