Clogs, Cheese & Windmill Tour • Day Trip from Amsterdam

Slow Travel = Sustainable Travel

Slow Travel is not about how fast you walk, it is about taking time to experience a place or country as much as possible. You resist the urge to see as many sights as possible, and are challenged to open up to your surroundings and the people you meet. Immerse yourself and absorb places, smells and sounds and get acquainted with local customs and regional dishes; everything that makes the visited city so special.

Slow Travel is a sustainable form of tourism, where quality is more important than quantity, and where you temporarily see and experience the city like the locals. Who Travels Slow, Discovers More.

Sustainable Travel is offered by Holland Private Tour on this Clogs, Cheese and Windmill Tour. You travel with an electrical car or CO2 compensated vehicle, which keeps your carbon footprint low. During the day, we visit local stores and restaurants to support local businesses. By visiting an old windmill, you help preserve local Dutch heritage. We’ll thereby take care of reducing our (plastic) waste and behave responsibly towards people, nature and culture.

Friendly Local Guides

Holland Private Tour carefully selects their guides, who are not only professional and a fountain of knowledge but also local citizen and your new Dutch friend. They tell historical facts, but because of their Dutch-DNA can also share and have you experience what it is like to be a local in the Netherlands. Best way to eat herring. Unwritten rules of riding bicycles. Translate the Dutch menu. Their favorite hidden gems. Introduce you to the local people.
