In Edam, you will walk through historic sites like the square where the famous Cheese Market used to take place. Then, near Volendam, you'll visit a local cheese producer, where the cheese master will explain how they produce Gouda and Edam cheeses. In the clog factory, discover the secrets of this typical Dutch shoe.

Then, travel back in time to the 17th century as you walk by cozy fishermen houses in Marken, the fishing harbor, and the protestant church.

At the end of the tour, your guides will provide you with information on how to enjoy your one-hour boat trip on the canals of Amsterdam. You can do the cruise at the end of the tour or when you want during your stay in the city.
