This private day trip lasts about 4 to 5 hours and includes private transportation in a luxury car or van with a licensed local guide. You will be picked up from your hotel or cruise ship in Amsterdam and returned there at the end of the tour. The first stop is Zaanse Schans, where you will spend about 30 minutes watching a live demonstration of traditional wooden clog making. You can also buy wooden shoes and souvenirs from the factory if you wish. Next, you visit the Jacobs Hoeve Cheese Farm by Henri Willig for 30 minutes. Here, you will see Jersey cows and calves grazing outside and observe an automated milking robot in action. The guide will explain the cheese-making process, and you will enjoy a tasting of Gouda and other cheese varieties produced on the farm. After the cheese farm, the tour heads to Volendam for about an hour. You can walk along the harbor and dike, see the fishing village’s waterfront, and visit local restaurants if you want to buy fresh fish (lunch is not included). The return to Zaanse Schans follows, allowing about one more hour to explore seven historic windmills. Some windmills are open for entry, including the paint windmill once used by Rembrandt and other mills like a saw and spice mill. Tickets to enter the windmills are available on site but are not included in the tour price. The tour concludes with a drop-off at your location in Amsterdam. On-board WiFi, bottled water, parking fees, and cheese tasting are included. Optional extras include entry to the De Kat windmill and extending the tour time for an additional fee, payable directly to the guide.
