Amsterdam: Windmills, Dikes and Clogs

We will drive through Dutch, so called, 'polders', reclaimed land, with all their beautiful world heritage sites and villages, over rural roads with spectacular views of the typical Dutch landscape.

We will visit Volendam, once was a rich fishing town, famous for herring and other salt-water fish. Now a beautiful and well-preserved harbor town with a spectacular view over the big lake in the center of the country.

We will drive to Edam for a short walk. This former center of the cheese industry has some beautiful 17th century houses.

From Edam, we drive to the water pumping Museum Mill at Schermerhorn. And then through the polder lands to the Zaanse Schans for a visit to the wooden shoe museum and a couple of fantastic working industrial windmills.

This is a unique tour that let you experience all about the Dutch way of life in the past and in the present.

I own a rather old, but luxurious, comfortable Volvo V70 with A/C. Big enough for three guests, maybe four. If your group doesn't fit in my car I will rent a passenger van. Extra costs will be 275 euros. In that case, the maximum group-size is 8 people.
