As if descended from pastoral postcards, it is shrouded in the smells of freshly mowed grass, spices and chocolate! But can you imagine that the mills are still working and making a profit? And have their own language? And that some millers have science degrees? And why do ghosts live in some of the mills? Find out! We'll also take a look at how people live in the Dutch province, taste cheeses, waffles, chocolate beer, turn into anise liqueur fans and enjoy every minute of this amazing day!

About Tour Guide Anastasia A.

My tours were born from my passion for traveling and studying other cultures, from my avid late-night reading, and from meeting amazing, bright, and talented people from around the world. And, of course, it sprouted from my love for storytelling :). Now, there are 10 of us - guides in the Netherlands, Belgium, Serbia, Hungary, and Morocco. We are historians, designers, physicists, journalists, sociologists, and art historians. I am thrilled to share my knowledge and show you these fabulous and hidden places from a tourist's perspective. My team would be delighted to accompany you on this adventure full of unexpected discoveries as we travel through the centuries and immerse ourselves in the local culture!

Beautiful Day at Zaanse Schans

We were lucky to have sunshine on the day we visited Zaanse Schans. Our guide Marie's smile is as bright as the sunshine. She is patient and caring, sharing with us stories of the windmills and brought us to the cheese and chocolate places. The drinks at the cafe are lovely. We also enjoyed the special area she showed us at Amsterdam Ctrl Train Station.
