Better then Marie Antoinette village
After our amazing toyr in Van gogh museum we decided to ask this company what else they had to offer. And this was a wonderful experience! I mean it! It was like fairy tale. Even the Marie Antoine’s village in Versailles os nothing to compare with this. The cheese tasting is a must! And try to get some hering - delicious We opted for Maria guide once again
via Tripadvisor
We had such a great day on this tour.
We had such a great day on this tour! The windmills were amazing to see up close, and the guide was super friendly and made everything interesting. The cheese tasting was a big highlight for us, and the stop by the water was really nice and relaxing. It was just a really fun and easy way to see more of the Dutch countryside. Definitely worth it!

Visiting Dutch windmills has been a dream of mine, and this tour made it come true!! we ended up taking photos that looked like postcards!! And enjoyed chocolate and cheese tastings afterward, which added to the fantastic experience :) Thanks to our guide Alex, everything was amazing!

Why this scores 49
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Zaanse Schans Edam Volendam Private Day Tour from Amsterdam: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Amsterdam.
How much does Zaanse Schans Edam Volendam Private Day Tour from Amsterdam cost?
+
Prices start at $990 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 Zaanse Schans Edam Volendam Private Day Tour from Amsterdam take?
+
Plan for about 9 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 Zaanse Schans Edam Volendam Private Day Tour from Amsterdam worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 49 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 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 Zaanse Schans Edam Volendam Private Day Tour from Amsterdam?
+
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 Zaanse Schans Edam Volendam Private Day Tour from Amsterdam suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Zaanse Schans Edam Volendam Private Day Tour from Amsterdam?
+
Around 1 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Zaanse Schans Edam Volendam Private Day Tour from Amsterdam 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.
