Highlights
Discover authentic Dutch culture on this small-group morning tour. Just 20 minutes from Amsterdam, we visit the charming village of Edam, home to the original cheese market where cheese was traded centuries ago. Learn about traditional cheese-making and enjoy a fresh tasting at a real working farm. Next, we travel to Schermerhorn, where the oldest polder in the Netherlands was created using historic 400 year old windmills. Step inside an original windmill, see how families once lived, and learn how wind power was used to drain water and create farmland. With a knowledgeable guide and a relaxed small-group setting, this tour offers an authentic and educational introduction to Dutch windmills and cheese all within a few hours from Amsterdam.

About Amsterdam
Amsterdam rings its golden-age centre with tree-lined canals, gabled houses and bridges, packing great art and easy cycling into a compact city.
The canal ring, dug in the seventeenth century, curves around the old centre in concentric arcs: Herengracht, Keizersgracht and Prinsengracht, lined with tall merchants' houses. The Jordaan, just west, is a maze of small canals, courtyards, brown cafés and independent shops, and the Anne Frank House stands on the Prinsengracht at its edge.
Top-ranked sights in Amsterdam: Amstel River, Skinny Bridge (Magere Brug), Anne Frank House.
