The most beautiful route to Schiphol Airport is along the Afsluitdijk (enclosing dyke or dam). The dyke was completed in 1932 and it not only transformed the Southsea to the IJsselmeer, it changed from a salt-water inlet to a fresh water inlet. This was a high level Dutch hydraulic engineering masterpiece, which represents their perpetual struggle against water. You will enjoy a 45-minute stop in order to observe this exceptional structure. You will arrive in Volendam at approximately 12.45 pm for lunch. Next there will be a guided walking tour through this unique Dutch fishing village, which is known for its unique location at the IJsselmeer, and the exceptional regional attire that is worn to this day. On our way to the airport (departure from Volendam 3.00 pm) we will visit the Zaanse Schans, this cannot be missed, because it is world famous for the Dutch windmills that are lined up in rows. The Zaanse Schans is a unique place in Holland, full tiny wooden homes, sheds, workshops and windmills dating back to the 18th and 19th century. When you are back home you will not soon forget this nostalgic part of Holland. After this wonderful last activity we will depart at 5.00 pm to arrive at Schiphol airport at 6.00 pm.
