You'll experience the charm of colourful wooden houses, a bustling harbour brimming with traditional boats, and delightful shops. The tour also offers a glimpse into the stories of a community that continues to celebrate its maritime past while flourishing in the present.

The uniqueness of this tour lies in its authenticity and local collaboration. At the Botterwerf shipyard, you'll witness traditional "botter" fishing boats being built and restored, offering a rare insight into Dutch seafaring history. Developed in partnership with local entrepreneurs and artists from Volendam, the tour guarantees genuine experiences and insights.

You'll also have the opportunity to delve into Dutch traditions at a local cheese farm and clog factory. Here, you can savour tastings and watch a clog-making demonstration. The tour strikes a balance between structured highlights and ample free time for independent exploration. It includes convenient coach transport, a digital walking tour, multilingual materials, and local discounts - all without any hidden fees. With close drop-off points to the town centre and friendly local staff, you're ensured smooth logistics and a personal touch, making this a small-scale yet high-quality experience.
