Private Amsterdam Countryside & Windmill Tour

Join me for the most authentic day out in Dutch countryside avoiding tourist traps. There are 2 versions of this tour: one where we visit Monnickendam and the other where we visit Edam. Monnickendam is my favourite as it is SO authentic and also in Monnickendam we have excellent apple pie. Edam is perhaps better if you have kids along.

The price has a bunch of variables:

First the base cost of the tour depending on the vehicle and then a add a per person amount:

VEHICLE : 1 – 3 people: The vehicle is an SUV, typically a BMW X1, Ford Kuga or a Mazda CX5 – Base cost is 700.00 euros

VEHICLE: 4 to 8 people: The vehicle is a Mercedes Vito Tourer Minivan – Base cost is 750.00 euros

Then add the following amount poer person to get to the total cost:
