Day 01

Explore Edam and Volendam from Amsterdam

Meet your guide at Amsterdam Centraal Station and take a bus ride to the fabulous towns of Edam and Volendam. The travel time takes no more than 20 minutes.
Stroll along the beautiful streets with views of canals, endless fields with wooden houses, farms, and wild swans, and visit iconic attractions such as the medieval Weigh House, the humpback bridge, the Cheese Museum, Catholic churches, beautiful hofjes, and the old art residency created especially for Dutch and French Impressionists.
Get lost in the small fishing town of Volendam. Walk along the promenade overlooking the yachts and taste local delicacies such as famous Dutch herring and cheese.
Learn about Dutch history, local traditions, and mysterious legends. In addition, discuss the farming innovations and modern practices of the locals.
Return to Amsterdam with your guide, though it is recommended to spend a little longer in Volendam and enjoy a nice lunch in one of the oldest family smokehouses in the country - the best place to taste a delicious eel soup served in a champagne glass.
That concludes your tour.
