Description

Your adventure begins with a scenic drive through the Dutch countryside, where expansive fields of vibrant tulips stretch as far as the eye can see. Your first stop brings you to an iconic windmill, where you have the opportunity to step inside and discover the inner workings of these majestic structures that have played a vital role in Dutch history for centuries. Next, you'll visit a traditional cheese farm. Here, you'll witness the art of cheese-making firsthand, as skilled artisans demonstrate the age-old techniques passed down through generations. Sample an array of exquisite cheeses, from creamy Gouda to tangy Edam, and learn how each variety reflects the unique terroir of the region. At a clog workshop, you'll watch as master craftsmen carve and shape these iconic Dutch shoes, transforming rough blocks of wood into functional works of art. Then, it's your turn to try them on for size and experience the time-honored tradition of clog-walking for yourself. But the highlight of your journey awaits in the enchanting village of Giethoorn, known as the Venice of the North. Here, you'll embark on a leisurely boat ride along tranquil canals flanked by charming thatched-roof cottages and lush greenery. Glide past picturesque bridges and colorful gardens. As the sun begins to dip below the horizon, casting a golden glow over the landscape, you'll bid farewell to Giethoorn and make your way back to your starting point.
