Itinerary
Our professional will pick you up from Amsterdam or the surrounding and drive to Gouda. This journey takes approximately 1 hour.
For centuries Gouda cheese has been traded at the Markt in Gouda on Thursday. This year, from the 6th of April until the 29 August, the traditional cheese market will take place every Thursday from 10 to 12.30 hrs. (except on Ascension Day on the 9th of May). And just like in the olden days, farmers and cheese traders agreed on a price by the clapping of hands. Besides the world-famous cheese, you can also enjoy stalls where syrup waffles and ‘poffertjes’ (Dutch mini pancakes) are made and where craftspeople demonstrate ancient skills.
Optional. The largest and most luxurious castle in the Netherlands. The castle is distinguished by its ancient, rich, and extravagant history and the many special stories that lie behind the castle walls. Discover the unique and flamboyant life of van the Van Zuylen van Nijevelt family in the 20th century.
The tour ends in Amsterdam. This journey takes approximately 50 minutes and you will be dropped at 1 of the locations in Amsterdam or surroundings you will mention to our driver.

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.
