Description:

This comprehensive Dutch experience shows you riverside windmills, traditional fishing villages, organic cheese farms, and working clog makers. The iconic cities of Delft, with its charming canals and pottery, and The Hague, the home of Dutch Parliament, complete a full day of new impressions.

Find a gentle pace away from the city as you head north to Zaanse Schans, home to centuries-old windmills. Refreshed by the country air, arrive at Volendam and Marken. Witness the traditional outfits and delightful wooden architecture of these proud fishing communities.

Continue to a farm to see how a variety of cheese is produced and taste it for yourself. Then learn about the different styles of clog, the wooden footwear common to Holland, in a workshop.

On your way to Delft, pass dikes and polders, land reclaimed from the sea by the Dutch people centuries ago. Once there, take a guided stroll through this enchanting town. Enter the renowned Delft Blue Pottery, known for its handmade earthenware, and see how these delicate items are manufactured.

The Hague is the political seat of the country, home to Parliament and the Royal Court of Justice. Explore the courtyards and buildings of the governmental complex, including the Binnenhof, the House of Senate. Amble through the city's modern, high-end neighborhoods before you return to Amsterdam.
