For reference only. Itineraries are subject to change due to weather, traffic and other circumstances.

The Netherlands has a few stereotypes, and when you finally arrive in Amsterdam, you might find quite a lot of them missing. Where are the clogs, the windmills, the endless fields of tulips? If you’re after classic Dutch imagery, then you want Volendam and Marken.

During this tour from Amsterdam, you’ll visit the idyllic villages of Zaanse Schans, Edam (like the cheese), Marken, and Volendam. Along the way, find out how clogs are made, try a fresh stroopwafel, and – of course – see plenty of windmills!

Show your smartphone ticket at the Tours & Tickets office, where you'll be guided to the bus across the street.
