From Amsterdam: Zaanse Schans and Giethoorn Day Trip

Visit two of the most popular places in Holland on a guided tour from Amsterdam. Explore the Zaanse Schans, an open-air museum, and the fairytale-like village of Giethoorn, also known as the "Venice of the North."

Board an air-conditioned bus and head to the Zaanse Schans. See a typical Dutch clog shop and visit a cheese factory. Admire the various original still-working windmills and the Dutch artisans. Learn about the impressive windmill history that set off the Golden Age in the Netherlands.

Next, enjoy the ride through the Dutch polders, reclaimed land, to the fairytale-like village of Giethoorn. Take a 1-hour guided boat tour and be in awe of the sights of the surroundings. Duck under picturesque bridges as the captain tells you the impressive history of Giethoorn.

Have time to explore the village on your own, on foot, by boat or by bike.
You can also enjoy a delicious meal before returning to Amsterdam.
