🎓 How we share the knowledge
Led by Antonis and the EcoEcho team, this isn't just sightseeing. We use chalk drawings, archival photos, and videos to bring the story to life. We engage in meaningful conversation about the past, present, and future of the Netherlands—exploring the countryside, the traditions of Volendam, and the miracle of Giethoorn.
🕶️ Exclusive VR Experience: As part of our storytelling, you will have the unique opportunity to take a short virtual visit inside the Anne Frank House via our VR headsets experiencing history right from your seat (We also provide books). No rushing, just good vibes, deep knowledge, and real connection.
The Journey
Tradition, Flavors & The Battle Against Water
Traditional Farm: Cheese & Clogs
We kick off with true Dutch tradition. You'll visit an authentic farm for a live demonstration of how wooden shoes (clogs) are carved and see how Gouda cheese is made. The best part? A generous cheese tasting of various flavors!
Volendam: Taste & Explore
Next, we head to the famous fishing village. We start with a sweet Stroopwafel (cookie) tasting demonstration. Then, you have free time to walk the dike, shop for quality souvenirs, grab lunch by the harbor, or try the local specialty: fresh herring!
Edam & The Markermeerdijk
We make a very short stop in the charming town of Edam for a quick photo. Then, the real journey begins: we drive across the impressive Markermeerdijk. As we drive with water on both sides, we discuss the fascinating story of Dutch Water Management and how we stay dry below sea level.
Giethoorn: The Grand Finale
We arrive at the car-free "Venice of the North". It’s time to slow down and enjoy nature.
- 🚤 1-Hour Boat Tour: Included in your ticket. We navigate the peaceful canals together.
- 👣 ~1 Hour Free Time: Walk the footpaths, cross the wooden bridges, and take beautiful photos.
