Frequently asked

Is this tour available in English?

The walking tour is conducted in Spanish or Italian. If you need an English-language tour, consider the Volendam half-day trip or the Zaanse Schans and Giethoorn tour, which have English-speaking guides.

How does this differ from the Volendam half-day trip?

This tour (8 hours) visits three villages with a guided walk. The half-day trip (4 hours) visits Volendam only with cheese, clogs, and a shipyard. This tour is more comprehensive; the half-day trip is quicker and less expensive.
