Overview

This is a 100% private tour: your guide, your group, your day. You will not be joined by any other guests, and the entire tour is dedicated exclusively to you and your party.

Your private guide will drive you directly to the Zaanse Schans and walk you through this picturesque Dutch heritage site. Experience many famous aspects of Dutch manufacturing and visit an old working windmill to learn about how products were fabricated in the 17th and 18th century.

The second highlight of the day is the picturesque village of Giethoorn. The centre of the village is car-free so the only way to get around is by boat or on foot. Your guide will transform himself into your captain and welcome you on board a typical 'punter', a small Dutch flat bottomed boat designed to sail in shallow waters for a private one hour tour through Giethoorn. After you're back on dry land you'll join your guide for a short walking tour giving you another perspective on this picture perfect little village.
