Next, we head to Volendam, where you’ll visit a traditional farm. Learn about the craftsmanship behind the famous Dutch clogs, watch a live demonstration, and sample authentic Gouda cheese. Afterward, we’ll stroll through the village, where you can browse a souvenir shop known for its high-quality, affordable products. Don’t miss the tasting of the traditional kruidnoten—an experience that’s as delightful as it is delicious.
Markerwaarddijk Drive: As we journey towards Giethoorn, we’ll drive along the Markerwaarddijk, offering you a live, first-hand look at the Netherlands’ innovative water management system.

Giethoorn:
Our final destination is the magical village of Giethoorn, often called the “Venice of the North.” Here, we’ll embark on a relaxing one-hour cruise through the village’s idyllic canals. If the weather is perfect, I’ll be your captain, and we’ll take an open boat for a two-hour cruise—giving you more time to soak in the stunning scenery.
