Private Excursion to Zaanse Schans, Edam, Volendam and Marken
Description
Explore the heart of Holland on this beautiful journey to the Dutch countryside. We'll start our trip in Zaanse Schans, a perfectly preserved Golden Age town that is home to one of the most impressive collection of windmills in The Netherlands. We'll continue our journey into the quiet and peaceful Edam, a fairy-tale village where time seems to have stopped centuries ago. Here, cheese is carefully crafted into a art form, so we could not leave the area without a visit to a real cheese farm to see how cheese is made and, what's most important, to have a taste of it. We'll move on to Volendam, an iconic fishing town that seems taken out of a movie set and the best place in Holland to have a taste of the local fish. After the lunch break, we'll visit Marken, an ancient island with amazing landscapes and a unique lifestyle.

Very well organized. The timing was very good
Eirien explained everything magnificently! I loved listening to her.
Nos alegra muchísimo saber que Eirien explicó todo de forma magnífica y que disfrutaste tanto escuchándola. Cuando un/a guía transmite la información con claridad, pasión y cercanía, la experiencia se vuelve mucho más especial. Se nota que consiguió mantener tu atención y hacer el recorrido aún más interesante. ¡Gracias por compartirlo!
Anma was awesome guide for our day. Very knowledgeable and fun to hang out with as we visited four places- we changed up one location because we visited on another tour and she was very accommodating.
We’re delighted to hear that you had a great day with Anma and that you found her both knowledgeable and enjoyable to spend the day with. It’s also great to know that she was flexible in adjusting the itinerary to better suit your needs — we really value that kind of attentive guiding. We will make sure to pass your lovely comments on to her, as feedback like yours is very motivating for our team. Thank you again for sharing your experience.
The visit to concerted places was very pleasant and complete thanks to the fantastic guide Dani, from Jaén, who accompanied us.

We had an absolutely fantastic time on our Amsterdam towns tour, and a big part of that was thanks to Enrique. He did an amazing job from start to finish—knowledgeable, engaging, and incredibly friendly. He made everyone feel welcome and comfortable, and you could tell he genuinely cared about making the experience special for us. His insights and storytelling really brought the places to life. Highly recommend this tour, especially if you’re lucky enough to have Enrique as your guide!

We did it with Chameleon tours, with Ness of driver and Facundo of guide, wonderful person, very well described, with humor, highly recommended, so it is nice to tour with people like him.
Nos alegra muchísimo saber que tu experiencia con Camaleón Tours fue tan positiva y que disfrutaste del tour con Ness y Facundo. Es fantástico leer que Facundo hizo la visita amena, con buenas explicaciones y sentido del humor, y que esto hizo el recorrido más agradable para vosotros. Transmitiremos tus palabras a ambos — seguro que les hará mucha ilusión. Gracias por recomendarnos y por compartir tu experiencia.
The great experience. The excursion through the different places was well organized, the coach comfortable and punctual to take us to all destinations. The guide, Eirien, I think I remember it was called, it was super fun. He gave us some very enjoyable and fun hours and I remember each and every explanation he gave us during the visits. The day before we had done a free tour with her and we found it so enjoyable that we wanted to repeat the next day with herself. Highly recommended!
