Private Amsterdam countryside tour to working windmills, Edam cheese, a family cheese farm, and quiet Waterland villages with hotel pickup.
“Philip was an absolutely wonderful guide for our day trip to visit the windmills, cheese and clog making demonstrations and a beautiful tour of the outskirts of Amsterdam! He got us exclusive access to a windmill that doesn’t normally allow tourists. It was fascinating seeing the workings from the inside! We also had a personal cheese making and clog making demonstration. Philip also took us to a lovely waterfront restaurant for lunch. We enjoyed talking with him as he not only had a ton of knowledge about Amsterdam and the Netherlands, but of the rest of the world as well. Everyone in the family, including my 10 and 12 year…”
