About this experience
Join our guides on this tour where we visit one of the most charming places in Holland: the mills of Zaanse Schans. There is no better way to enjoy an afternoon of your trip than to visit the Zaanse Schans windmills, an area that was the economic engine 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 their colonies, make oils, mustards, paper, cocoa... Our specialist guides will explain its curious operation and accompany you to a clog workshop where they will show us live how traditional Dutch footwear is made. We will also visit a cheese shop where we can taste a wide variety of Dutch cheeses and explain the process of making the famous Gouda cheeses. Of course, before returning to Amsterdam, we will enjoy free time to stroll and take the best photos of your trip!

Zaanse windmill day trip and legohouse
We had a fantastic day today. Our tour guide Amanda was amazing, explaining everything to our small English group. Gave great information on the tour and general recommendations. The tour itself was very enjoyable, with free time to roam. The coach was brilliant very comfortable and luxurious

Good, can be improved
Holly was very good. Driver (Rico) should have turned on the A/C when there were people on board waiting to leave. It was stinking hot. Also, dont wait for late people- it’s not the guide’s fault at all.

Beautiful
It was excellent! The guides were really nice, we had 2 languages: Spanish and English. The town is close to Amsterdam and it is an open museum.

Why this scores 75
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
From Amsterdam: Windmills of Zaanse Schans Tour +"Lego Houses": questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Amsterdam.
How much does From Amsterdam: Windmills of Zaanse Schans Tour +"Lego Houses" cost?
+
Prices start at $19 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Amsterdam usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does From Amsterdam: Windmills of Zaanse Schans Tour +"Lego Houses" take?
+
Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Amsterdam is not rushed.
Is From Amsterdam: Windmills of Zaanse Schans Tour +"Lego Houses" worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 116 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Amsterdam, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule From Amsterdam: Windmills of Zaanse Schans Tour +"Lego Houses"?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is From Amsterdam: Windmills of Zaanse Schans Tour +"Lego Houses" suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book From Amsterdam: Windmills of Zaanse Schans Tour +"Lego Houses"?
+
Around 41 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Amsterdam can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Amsterdam and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does From Amsterdam: Windmills of Zaanse Schans Tour +"Lego Houses" start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Amsterdam within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Amsterdam?
+
On Outty we rank every Amsterdam experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Amsterdam Canal Cruise with Local Guide and Small Group, Guided Bike Tour of Amsterdam's Highlights & Hidden Gems, Amsterdam: Luxury Canal Cruise including Cocktails & Snacks. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Amsterdam?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Amsterdam?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
