Private countryside tour: the highlights of Holland with guide and car
Experience Holland with Holland Windmills, our small and local tour company. We are born and raised here and love to show you the best places during your holiday in Holland. We also love telling you stories about Holland!See famous windmills, taste cheese, try wooden shoes and walk through scenic villages.
We know the best sights, what to visit and where to eat. Let us take you places where the crowds don't go and explore Holland at your own pace. Cheaper than a taxi, better than a big group tour and a lot more comfortable than organizing everything on your own.

Zaanse Schans
Entrance to one of the windmills is included in this tour.
1 hour 30 minutesSimonehoeve
Of course there is a large variety of cheeses to taste from as well as fruit whine and typical Dutch cookies and you can buy your favorite cheese, clogs and all kinds of souvenirs.
45 minutesVolendam
Volendam is perfect to try some Dutch seafood. Most famous is raw herring with pickles and onions. It’s not as bad as it sounds. It’s actually very tender and tastes a bit like sushi, only fishier. Most of our guests actually finish it! Another dish is kibbeling, battered and deep fried pieces of codfish served with tartar sauce. Volendam has a pretty large variety of bars and restaurants where it’s possible to try local beer and/or have lunch.
1 hourMonnickendam
Monnickendam is one of the oldest towns in Holland and incredibly beautiful. We drive through the old center passing the old church with it’s amazing bell tower and watch typical Dutch vessels in the harbor.
Marken
Marken used to be an island in the open sea but now it’s a quaint peninsula in the fresh water lake IJsselmeer. Several houses and even small neighborhoods are listed as national cultural monument and here it’s also possible to have lunch, in a cafe on the waterside.
45 minutesWaterland
The landscape does not get more Dutch than this anywhere else.
45 minutesChurch Broek in Waterland
There are still many beautiful large wooden houses with gardens full of flowers. It’s very peaceful and quiet and we’re pretty much the only touroperator that goes there because large busses with tourists are not even welcome.
