Dutch Fairy Tale Day Tour｜Windmill Village & Zaandam Lego Town & Giethoorn Day Tour (Chinese Tour Guide)
Do you believe that there really is a village without roads and cars in the world? Walking into the legendary Dutch village "Giethoorn", there is no hustle and bustle of cars, only winding canals, swaying bridges and dotted thatched houses. This place is known as the "Venice of the North", but it is much more quiet and romantic than you might imagine.
Take the electric "whispering boat" and slowly glide through the mirror-like canal, as if drifting into the pages of a fairy tale. Along the coast are scattered reed huts, small bridges, and gardens, each frame is like a movie storyboard. You can take photos freely, enjoy lunch, visit small shops, and immerse yourself in the peaceful scenery every moment.
Lego Town Zaandam: In the suburbs of Amsterdam, Netherlands, dreams come true with building blocks - Lego Town Zaandam is like a fairy tale. Windmills are leisurely, canals are colorful, and colorful houses are stacked like giant building blocks. Wandering in the streets, it feels like being in a fantasy kingdom of building blocks, and every step is a line of artistic poetry full of childlike fun. Immerse yourself in the miniature world of innocence and creativity, and rediscover the pure surprise of building with your fingertips.
Zaanse Schans Windmill Village: A Dutch-style time capsule. The retro windmills turn in the morning light, and the traditional wooden shoe workshop, cheese workshop and green-roofed cottages form this "moving oil painting". In this ancient village, listen to the wind blowing through the gears, watch the white pigeons flying over the eaves, and feel the true Dutch soul.
There is no hustle and bustle of carriages and horses, only the shadows of boats, greenery, and the sound of wind blowing through reeds—stepping into Giethoorn is like stumbling into a flowing ink-wash fairy tale.
Travel back to the golden age of the Netherlands and encounter the purest European pastoral life as the windmills turn slowly.
The sweetness of cream overflows from the white window frames, and the colorful walls resemble building blocks arranged like nursery rhymes. Zaandam, a miniature world where fairy tales never sleep, awaits your arrival.

FAQ
Zaanse Schans is situated in North Holland, just north of Zaandam and a short distance from Amsterdam. It's an open-air museum and conservation area that showcases traditional Dutch life, making it easily accessible from Amsterdam by various transport methods for visitors.
Visitors can experience working windmills, witness traditional crafts like wooden clog making and cheese production demonstrations, and explore historic houses. You can also take a boat trip along the Zaan River for unique perspectives of the windmills and enjoy authentic Dutch pancakes.
Zaanse Schans offers various cultural demonstrations, including traditional clog carving, cheese making, and the operation of historic windmills for grinding spices or producing oil. Occasionally, visitors might encounter folk performances or traditional costume displays that highlight Dutch heritage and history.
To fully immerse yourself in Giethoorn's tranquil atmosphere, spending approximately 2-3 hours is generally recommended. This allows enough time for a scenic canal cruise, leisurely walks along the charming paths, and enjoying the unique architecture and peaceful scenery without feeling rushed.
Given Giethoorn's car-free nature and extensive network of canals, the best ways to explore are by boat or on foot. You can enjoy a guided canal cruise, rent an electric 'whisper boat' for self-exploration, or stroll along the charming walking paths and over the wooden bridges that connect the small islands.
To experience Giethoorn with fewer crowds, consider visiting during the shoulder seasons (spring: April-May, or autumn: September-October). Weekdays, especially mornings, are generally much quieter than weekends. These times offer pleasant weather and better opportunities to enjoy the tranquil scenery and take unobstructed photos.
The primary ways to get around Giethoorn are by traditional punt boats, electric 'whisper boats', or organized canal cruises through its intricate waterways. Walking is also a key mode of transport, as the village features numerous footpaths and bridges connecting its various islands, making it an entirely car-free environment.
Beyond its iconic windmills, Zaanse Schans is known for its collection of green wooden houses, traditional Dutch shops, and fascinating museums like the Zaans Museum and the Bakery Museum. Visitors can also see historic operating workshops for crafts such as clogs, cheese, and pewter casting, offering a glimpse into living history.
