Construction began in 1247 but had to be interrupted in 1560 due to a lack of funds, only to resume in 1842 at the request of Emperor Frederick William IV, who had fallen in love with it.

After watching a short film explaining the founding of the town and the construction of the dyke, you will have... more+ free time to explore the village and perhaps taste the local specialty: dried eel! Then you will visit a cheese factory (in or around Volendam) to discover how the famous round Dutch cheese — Gouda — is made.

Continue by coach to visit Zaanse Schans, an open-air museum. Discover how the famous Dutch wooden clogs are made and learn about their history dating back to the year 1200!

Enjoy some free time in the heart of this Dutch eco-museum to explore all its traditions: windmills, cheese, and typical houses.

Amsterdam sightseeing cruise
Departure for a tour of Amsterdam by riverboat. With your guide, discover the city's fabulous architecture and tall gabled houses as you glide along the water. You will sail along the four major canals that encircle the center of Amsterdam: Prinsengracht,... more+ Keizersgracht, Herengracht, and Singel. The Singel River was transformed into a canal in the 14th century to form part of the city's defensive belt. The other three canals were designed at the beginning of the Golden Age with the aim of expanding the city. Work began in 1560 and lasted over a hundred years. Today, the historic center is surrounded by four parallel half-moon canals. The layout follows the sun's rays so that every house gets sunlight at some point during the day. On a city map, Amsterdam looks like half a bicycle wheel. Take this opportunity to discover the Dutch capital while relaxing. Free time. Return to the boat.
Note: times are given as a guide only.
