Then head to Volendam, a lively fishing village, where you'll visit a cheese shop that still follows traditional methods and watch a cheese and clogmaking presentation.

Review for: Countryside & Windmills Classic Tour

We visited the 3 places and feel that there was not enough time given to Zaanse Schans. There was a presentation at each of the locations but due to photo opportunities at Zaanse Schans windmills, there was not enough time to visit the shops for sounvenirs. Would suggest to cutback time at Volendam as there was more than enough time to take lunch and visit the shops. Although Marken itself is interesting, there is not much to see while taking the boat from Volendam to Marken. Truly enjoyed the tour and is highly recommend.

One of the best tours I booked here in Klook. Diana, our tour guide, was very helpful and organized. It is also very informative.This is very convenient also for kids and elderly as this is a bus tour. You just need to go to the central station to get your tag. Highly recommended!

Review for: Countryside & Windmills Classic Tour

If you want a chill day, not worrying about logistics and explore the countryside. This will be a great option for you. Free bus ride. Free cheese experience with free taste. A lot of stores to visit. You get up close to the windmills. Nice boat ride views to Marken island. Diana was the perfect tour guide. She’s really kind and friendly and cares about you! Please book a tour in your native language as some people seem to be wandering off even after she has told everyone what to do multiple times, and her voice is loud. Bikers are wild in Netherlands. So if she says stay on the right. stay on the right! She has perfect Spanish and English, if you don’t understand that, don’t book this!

Great day tour to Volendam, Marken, and the windmills! The tour guide was fun and engaging, and the music on the shuttle bus added a nice touch. Just note that the free WiFi didn’t work on board and it’s a large group tour, but overall a great experience!

Review for: Countryside & Windmills Classic Tour

One of the best day trips we had in Amsterdam! It was definitely worth the money. We even bought souvenirs from Jumbo City in Volendam — the cheapest shop we found there, especially when compared to prices in Amsterdam City!

The tour is organized. The bus is clean and cool. Susana speaks perfect English and Español, and knows the facts well. Audio guide has sufficient info to explain the transformation of Netherland's geography and economy. Highly recommended.

Review for: Countryside & Windmills All-In Tour

We joined the all in tour and it was great. It included all the admission tickets and boat ride to Marken, which is nice. Also, souvenirs at Marken are way cheaper, a mug we bought at a stop earlier only cost half at Marken.

Review for: Countryside & Windmills All-In Tour

We recently took a tour of Volendam, Marken, and the windmills of Zaanse Schans, and it was an incredible experience! From start to finish, the day was well-organized and packed with memorable sights. Volendam was a highlight with its vibrant waterfront, traditional wooden houses, and bustling atmosphere. The final stop at Zaanse Schans was truly magical. The iconic windmills were breathtaking, and it was fascinating to see them in action while learning about their history and significance in Dutch culture. Overall, I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to experience the beauty and culture of the Netherlands. It was a wonderful blend of history, stunning scenery, and local flavors, all guided by knowledgeable and friendly staff. Don’t miss out on this unforgettable day trip!

Review for: Countryside & Windmills Classic Tour

I'm very happy with this tour. The guide and the driver were really helpful, insightful and entertaining. I was not able to book the tour with entrance to the windmills and boat ride from this app however I was able to upgrade the classic tour that I bought at the tour center at Amsterdam centraal station. It was an additional 15eur. Very much worth it!
