About
With this pack combines in the same day our two tours: The panoramic tour of Amsterdam with a visit to the windmill park of Zaanse Schans.
Once you have visited the city by private car, visiting the most representative areas of Amsterdam, you will head to the Zaanse Schans Windmill Park, the economic motor of the country between the 16th and 18th centuries, as the Dutch took advantage of the force of the wind to grind the spices they brought from the colonies, to make oils, mustards, etc. We will enter a mill dedicated to spices and a workshop of clogs, where they will give us a demonstration of traditional Dutch shoe making.
As it is a private visit, the client can enjoy free time to take photos or make purchases. The itinerary can be agreed at the beginning of the tour to adapt it to the wishes of the client, always considering the duration of the tour.
