Private half day tour from Amsterdam to Edam Volendam and Marken

You’ll be picked up from your hotel for a scenic drive through the city and countryside toward Edam.

We’ll take a stroll through the charming old center of Edam and visit a local cheese shop for a Gouda and Edam cheese tasting. You’ll sample a variety of cheeses—over 30 different flavors to explore! It’s a must-do experience for any cheese lover. The best part? These cheeses are specially made for travel, so you can bring the authentic taste of Holland home with you, wherever you’re headed. And since the Dutch love licorice, we’ll also stop by the cutest candy shop for a licorice tasting.

On our way to Volendam, we’ll stop at the Kathammer windmill, beautifully located on the edge of the village. This historic windmill still functions to drain the Katwoude-Hogendijk polder. It’s a perfect photo opportunity. In Volendam, we’ll walk through the iconic harbor area and admire the authentic fishermen’s houses. We’ll also explore The Maze, the oldest part of the village, known for its narrow streets. A stroll along the famous dike completes this picturesque visit.

Hop on a ferry across the IJsselmeer to Marken, a quant village that was once an island in the Zuiderzee. Marken charms visitors with its traditional wooden houses and drawbridges

We’ll take a brief walk through this picturesque village, enjoying its unique atmosphere. Connected to the mainland by a dam since 1957, Marken offers a glimpse into the past

We’ll end the tour with a scenic drive along the iconic dikes, making our way back to your hotel
