Product Info

Leave Amsterdam behind and experience the classic Dutch countryside on a private tour to Zaanse Schans, Volendam, and Marken. Travel comfortably with your English-speaking driver/guide through picturesque landscapes of windmills, traditional houses, waterways, and historic fishing villages.

Begin at Zaanse Schans, one of the Netherlands’ most iconic heritage areas. Step into a landscape that brings the 18th and 19th centuries to life, with historic wooden houses and traditional windmills standing beside the River Zaan. Explore local workshops, discover how famous Dutch wooden clogs are made, and learn about traditional cheese production. Depending on your interests, you can also visit working windmills and other historic craft attractions.

Continue through the countryside to Volendam, a colorful fishing village on the shores of the Markermeer. Wander along its lively harbor, admire traditional Dutch houses and fishing boats, browse local shops, or sample regional specialties. You can even pose for a fun photograph wearing traditional Volendam clothing.

Your journey then continues to Marken, a distinctive former island community known for its characteristic wooden houses, narrow lanes, maritime traditions, and peaceful atmosphere. Explore the village on foot and discover how centuries of isolation helped preserve its unique identity and architecture.

Depending on seasonal schedules and your preferences, you may also choose to travel between Volendam and Marken by boat, adding a scenic journey across the water to your countryside experience.

With private transportation, pickup and drop-off in Amsterdam, and a flexible itinerary, this tour is an easy and memorable way to experience the windmills, traditional crafts, fishing heritage, and postcard landscapes of the Netherlands beyond the capital.
