About this experience
Explore the traditional 17th and 18th-century houses and windmills of Zaanse Schans. Learn about famous Dutch cheeses, see how clogs are made, and get the best photos of your trip to Holland.
There is no better way to enjoy an afternoon in the Netherlands than checking out the Zaanse Schans windmills, the economic engine of the country between the 16th and 18th centuries when the Dutch took advantage of wind power to grind the spices they brought from the colonies and make oils, mustards, and more. Learn about the history of this scenic and economically-significant spot as you tour the mills with your friendly, knowledgeable guide. First, take a walking tour of a mill to learn how it was operated and the history of industry in the Netherlands. Then visit a clog workshop to get acquainted with the manufacturing of traditional Dutch footwear. Stop in at a cheese factory to try a variety of traditional Dutch cheeses and learn about the cheese-making process. Enjoy free time to explore the scenic area, say hi to the farm animals, and snap some photos before returning to Amsterdam.

“TODO BIEN, EL HORARIO, LAS ACTIVIDADES POSIBLES DE EFECTUAR SON CON TIEMPO ADECUADO, LA GUIA MUY DOCUMENTADA Y SIMPATICA, Y PUDIMOS VER POR DENTRO UNO DE LOS 2 MOLINOS QUE SE PUEDEN VISITAR. EN UN COMIENZO DESEABA REALIZAR EL VIAJE QUE VA A 3 LUGARES ( ZAANZE, VOLLANDER Y MERKAN) PERO ME DECIDI POR ESTE ,SOLO A ZAANZE Y FUE UN ACIERTO. SE DISPONE DE TIEMPO SIN ANDAR APURADO POR LOS GUIAS PARA SEGUIR EL VIAJE, SE PUEDE ELEJIR QUE ACTIVIDAD REALIZAR A SU ANTOJO, Y NO RESULTA AGOTADOR LO RECOMIENDO DE ESTA MANERA.
