Avoid the inconvenience of renting a car and maneuvering through unfamiliar country roads. With a personal driver/host , your tour becomes effortlessly smooth and stress-free.

Be Dutch for a day! A day full of windmills, cheese and traditional wooden clogs.

Covered with water, cows grazing the fresh grasses, colourful flowers and green-timbered houses, Zaanse Schans is home to what some call the Eighth Wonder of the World: the historic 18th-century windmills.

Everybody knows about cheese, but few know how it’s produced. Your private driver/host will take you to the place where the magic happens, where the Dutch dairy gold is crafted. You will visit a local cheese factory in the picturesque fisherman village of Volendam, where you will be taught about the cheese-making craft and enjoy a delicious cheese tasting.

With windmills and cheese on board, it’s unthinkable to skip the traditional wooden clogs in this tour.

Very excellent guide , nice car and depth knowledge of places that we visit.
Younes is such a warm personality and highly motivated guide (recommendable!). I truly enjoyed walking and driving the three of us through the area. The scenery was beautiful and it was a relieve to walk in such a quiet and peaceful environment. The natural bath on the end was a great way to end the tour.

The atmosphere is so special that it really felt like home to all of us. All respect for Younes who does a great job there; a true sample of excellent tour guide!

Our tour guide Elais was excellent. Picked up at hotel...good way to start. Tour out of city to wind mills, cheese making dairy farm and small coastal village. Elais provided interesting and informative commentary as we drove to the stops. Elais made us feel relaxed and we really enjoyed our tour. Thank you so much.

Without a doubt the windmills were something to see! The cheese was wonderful and the clog maker was entertaining! But it was our guide, Benjamin, that helped make the tour more than we expected! Thanks again, Ben for all you did to make it such an enjoyable afternoon! We would recommend this trip to anyone!

What a beautiful day in the Netherlands countryside with Younes! This was more than just having a driver to take us to different locations; he shared history & made sure we also got demonstrations (for clog making & cheese making) & gave recommendations for different foods & places to try. If we ever come back to the Netherlands or have friends & family come here, we will absolutely recommend this tour. Thank you, Younes!!

We had a blast. Elias was amazing and kept us well informed of history and important context as we traveled. Our young children loved it and so did we!
