My
girlfriend
and
I
booked
“COUNTRYSIDE
AND
WINDMILLS
TOUR
FROM
AMSTERDAM”
with
Tours
&
Tickets.
A
great
trip
from
start
to
finish.
It
started
with
a
~20
minute
bus
ride
from
Amsterdam
Central
Station
to
Zaanse
Schans
to
the
windmills,
where
we
were
able
to
go
into
the
Holsäge
windmill
for
free.
A
worker
explained
and
showed
us
everything
there
and
we
had
free
choice
of
what
we
wanted
to
see
for
the
rest
of
the
time.
We
then
continued
by
bus
to
Marken,
where
we
were
shown
how
the
famous
Dutch
wooden
shoes
are
made,
which
were
then
also
offered
in
the
sales
room.
There
you
could
also
try
putting
on
wooden
shoes
to
see
what
it
felt
like
to
walk
with
them.
We
then
continued
with
a
20-30
minute
boat
ride
to
the
other
side
of
the
lake
(small
snacks
and
drinks
were
available
to
buy
on
board).
When
we
arrived
on
land,
we
visited
a
cheese
factory
where
we
were
shown
how
cheese
is
made
(in
short)
and
afterwards
we
were
able
to
try
many
different
types
of
cheese
(some
with
different
"dips",
large
selection
e.g.
cheese
with
pepper,
chili,
pesto
,
truffles,
goat's
cheese,
sheep's
cheese,
etc.)
Of
course
you
could
also
buy
cheese
there,
but
you
were
in
no
way
forced
to
buy
anything
during
the
entire
tour
(TOP!).
Afterwards
there
was
an
hour
break,
which
we
spent
in
a
fish
restaurant
as
recommended
by
the
tour
(you
could
also
do
something
else
or
eat
somewhere
else
during
this
one
hour,
of
course
you
had
to
pay
for
the
restaurant
visit
yourself).
The
restaurant
that
was
recommended
to
us
was
very
tasty
and
reasonably
priced
for
a
fish
restaurant.
After
the
1-hour
break,
we
were
shown
how
the
famous
Dutch
waffles
are
made
and
then
a
tasting
with
various
“waffle
fillings”.
You
could
also
purchase
some
there
afterwards.
This
was
the
end
of
the
tour.
We
walked
to
the
bus
and
were
driven
back
to
the
main
train
station
in
Amsterdam.
On
the
bus
there
was
always
a
lot
of
information
via
audio
(10+
languages)
and
through
the
tour
guide
(in
English
+
Spanish),
which
made
the
bus
rides
between
the
individual
stops
very
interesting.
We
were
extremely
satisfied
with
the
tour,
which
lasted
about
6
hours.
We
can
only
recommend
it
if
you
not
only
want
to
explore
Amsterdam,
but
also
want
to
get
into
the
interior
of
the
country
:)
Gladly
again!
