This tour takes you to 700-year-old Alkmaar, scene of the picturesque cheese market, where you can get a real sense of ancient market life. Once a buyer has finished, men in white costumes carry the wheels of cheese to a 14th-century Weigh House to tally the bill.
Admire the competing teams of the Cheese Carriers' Guild, and watch as the cheeses are piled high on the cobblestone square at Alkmaar Market. Next, we will go to Schermerhorn, famous for its three old windmills, with the possibility of visiting one.
You will travel back to Amsterdam by way of the medieval town of Edam, in order to visit a cheese factory where the cheese is still made the traditional way.
Duration: 4,5 hours.
