Discover the Dutch countryside on a private day trip from Amsterdam to Zaanse Schans and Giethoorn, two of the most charming and peaceful destinations in the Netherlands. This experience is designed for travelers who want to explore the country in a relaxed, comfortable, and inclusive way, enjoying the beauty of traditional villages, windmills, canals, and nature.
Your journey begins at Zaanse Schans, a historic village where you can step back in time and experience traditional Dutch life. Walk among iconic windmills, visit artisan workshops, discover how wooden clogs are made, and taste local Dutch cheese. During your visit, you will also enter a traditional windmill and learn how these historic machines helped build the Dutch economy centuries ago.
After Zaanse Schans, travel through the beautiful Dutch countryside towards Giethoorn, often called the “Venice of the Netherlands.” This unique village is famous for its canals, wooden bridges, and charming thatched-roof houses. There are almost no roads in the historic center, and the best way to explore Giethoorn is by boat.
Upon arrival, receive a complimentary boat rental (no license required), allowing you to navigate the canals at your own pace. Cruise through peaceful waterways, pass charming houses surrounded by flowers and gardens, and experience one of the most relaxing and romantic places in Europe.
This private tour is flexible, relaxed, and designed for travelers who want to enjoy the Netherlands beyond the typical tourist routes, in comfort, privacy, and freedom.
At the end of the day, your driver will take you back to Amsterdam after an unforgettable journey through windmills, canals, villages, and Dutch landscapes.
