Overview
At the desired time, your English-speaking professional driver will pick you up from your accommodation in a private vehicle
After a 0.5-hour ride, you will reach Zaanse Schans. Taking small paths here will lead you to the bakery museum where the smell of fresh home-made bread floats in the air. Along the way, you will see authentic workshops where the clog- shoes with a thick wooden stole are made. Do not miss the cheese factory, pewter foundry, and the windmills.
