01.
Mills
If we take a look along the banks of the Zaan River, we find one of the most traditional villages in the countryside. We can see different windmills working there, which were used for grinding, but also for the drainage of fields or the manufacture of wood.
02.
Wooden Clogs
We will go a clog workshop where they will explain us how these wooden shoes were made and what they were used for.
03.
Chocolate
As soon as we drop off the bus, the smell which floats the air is from hot chocolate. Don’t miss the story of the match between cocoa and Zaanse Schans.
04.
Cheese
In a wooden house, we will find a cheese factory where they will explain many things to us and above all … they will give us a taste of everything.

The team gave us plenty of time in each of the stops to enjoy the towns and take photos/videos. Amanda our guide was very sweet and gave us a lots of interesting facts and information on all the places that we visited. I highly recommend Camaleon tours and this tour.Posted on OnAir31358411/09/2025Verified Nice tour, but beware Henri Willig farms: staff said cheese ok to take to UK, banned since April, had to throw all away. Mislead by cheese farm. They said could purchase cheese and take to other countries. Come to find out, UK has banned EU cheese since April. I was forced to throw it all awayPosted on Manuel S11/09/2025Verified Magnificent excursion with exceptional guidance If you are visiting Amsterdam, you should not miss this tour. The landscapes are dreamy and each city has a different charm: from traditional mills and artisan cheese shops to picturesque fishing villages by the sea.However, what really made this tour unforgettable was our guide Eirien. It is simply exceptional: close, friendly and with an impressive knowledge of each place. Capacity (in covers) to explain the story in a pleasant, fun and very enthusiastic way. Also, we were lucky enough to meet her the day before on a free tour, so to meet her again here was a wonderful surprise.In short, a wonderful experience that I recommend without hesitation.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
