Description:
Start with a tour of Amsterdam's iconic landmarks and flowing canals. Then venture out to the countryside to take in riverside windmills, quaint fishing villages, freshly-produced cheese, and skillful shoemakers at work.
View the Royal Palace, the National Monument, the Albert Cuyp Market, and the Skinny Bridge. Continue on to a working diamond factory where you learn about the traditional gem-polishing techniques still used today.
Afterwards, leave the city behind and head north to Zaanse Schans, home to centuries-old windmills. Refreshed by the country air, arrive at Volendam. Many members of this Dutch fishing community still wear traditional, colorful outfits. From there, see the characteristic houses of Marken, by boat in the summer and by coach in the winter.
Continue to a farm to see how a variety of cheese is produced and taste it for yourself. Finally, witness a clog maker working on this wooden Dutch shoe. Learn about the different styles, when they're worn, and try a pair on yourself.
