A very successful day in Volendam! Everything was well organized and we had plenty of time to discover the village at our own pace. The cozy harbor and the beautiful views were especially wonderful. A great way to experience the real Netherlands!

Robert van Leeuwen

This tour to Volendam was one of the highlights of our visit to the Netherlands. Everything was perfectly organized, from the comfortable coach to the friendly and knowledgeable staff.

The visit to the cheese farm and wooden shoe workshop was both fun and informative. We enjoyed tasting a variety of delicious Dutch cheeses and learning how traditional clogs are still made today.

Volendam itself is a beautiful fishing village with a charming harbor, picturesque streets, and plenty of free time to explore at our own pace. The digital walking route was a great addition and helped us discover some hidden gems we would have otherwise missed.

The visit to the historic shipyard was the perfect way to learn more about the village's rich maritime history. The entire day felt relaxed, well-paced, and offered excellent value for money.

If you're looking for an authentic Dutch experience beyond Amsterdam, this tour is a must. Highly recommended—we would definitely book with Hop On Hop Off Holland again!
