Your tour will start by seeing the Dutch countryside, with a visit to a cheese farm, where you'll also experience how traditional clogs are made and the Dutch won't let you leave before you realise there is more to cheese than cheddar. We then visit the windmill village of Zaanse Schans, famous for the making of wooden shoes or "klompe", before we visit the little fishing village of Volendam. From the countryside, we make our way into the city, for an afternoon walking tour of the world famous Amsterdam "Red Light District" , which leaves the afternoon free to explore the canals, or Anne Frank House, Dam Square, Van Gogh Museum or maybe a bicycle tour… and the night open to paint the town red!
