In our tour, we will first go to Volendam, an old fishing village. In this peaceful town, we will explore the colorful two-story historical houses, souvenir shops, especially cheese shops, and charming cafes and restaurants located in the traffic-free pier area. After this, we will move to Marken, a village situated on a small island. While walking through the village, we will visit a “Marken House” overlooking the harbor. This tiny house has been furnished as it was lived in by a fishing family from Marken until 1932 and exhibits the furniture and decor of that period. Additionally, we will visit a shop that showcases how Holland's cultural heritage wooden clogs are made and sells hundreds of colorful clogs. Then we head to Giethoorn, known as the Venice of Holland.
