What a lovely relaxing day. Our tour guide collected us from our hotel and drove us to Zaanse Schans. What a beautiful place, very peaceful and full of history. We saw clogs being made, tasted the best cheese ever and got to witness the windmills in action. After that we were driven back to our hotel. Highly recommended.

Great to learn about wooden shoes , cheese and windmills. They made a wooden shoe and cheese in front of us. We tasted cheese and climbed to the top of a windmill. Our guide was very informative and our driver was very helpful

Excellent way to see the old windmills. There are other locations for windmills, but this one is very close to Amsterdam. Small group tour was great - the tour guide was able to talk to us individually. Beautiful place to visit.
