Zaanse Schans Windmills, Marken and Volendam Half-Day Trip from Amsterdam

start date: 2009-10-20
end date: 2009-11-30

Next, you'll travel to the world-famous fishing villages of Volendam and Marken, on the coast of the former Zuiderzee (now called Ijselmeer). The old wooden houses here are built on stilts and locals still wear their colorful traditional dress. You can choose to take a 20-minute boat trip from Volendam to Marken, with approximately 45 minutes at each stop. In winter the boat is enclosed for your comfort. The cruise is optional but is included in the cost of the tour.

During the day you'll also stop at one of the few farms where cheese is still made in the traditional way.

NEW in 2009: 5.5-Hour tour departing at 1:00pm
This option was created based on customer feedback to offer an alternative itinerary and longer tour duration. The afternoon tour at 1:00pm is 5.5 hours in duration. It does not visit the windmill village of "Zaanse Schans" but stops at a lovely windmill near Volendam. The tour includes more time at Volendam and Marken.
