Reviews Zaanse Schans
“This was a very small area that is very busy and there for the mills and shops are so small that you can not see much so not worth the money did nt even get to taste any cheese.”
“This was the best tour I had in Amsterdam highly recommended”
“Interesting to see how clogs are made. And lovely to be able to enter an original working windmill”
“Tanto el Chofer (Sergio) como la guía (Cathy) han resultado ser excelentes.Muy amenas las explicaciones y todas las indicaciones que nos hizo para facilitarnos las cosas (tomar café, ir al baño, etc.)”
