Step into the heart of Dutch tradition with this private countryside tour to Zaanse Schans, the Windmill Museum (Museummolen Schermer), Volendam, and Marken — a perfect mix of iconic sights and hidden gems.

At Zaanse Schans, stroll past working windmills, traditional wooden houses, cheese farms, and clog workshops. It's a living museum of Dutch craftsmanship and rural life that feels like stepping back in time.

Next, dive deeper into Dutch engineering heritage at the Museummolen Schermer, a fully functioning 17th-century windmill nestled in quiet farmland. Learn how the Dutch mastered water management and land reclamation — a fascinating and often overlooked chapter of the Netherlands’ story.
