Old fishing harbours on the IJsselmeer, a wooden village on a former island, and the cheese town that gave its name to the red wax. Here are the 12 trips that link them properly — which include the Marken ferry rather than the causeway, which stop for a cheese tasting, and what each costs from central Amsterdam.

The bus was 15 mins.late but it was no biggy, our guide was amazing too bad we didn’t have cash with us as we are use to just using cards,we would love to give him a tip but yeah….maybe next time.

Coach day trip from Amsterdam to Marken, Volendam, Edam, and Zaanse Schans with cheese tasting and windmills, plus optional boat and clog demos.
“The trip involved some exclusive activities which I think it would be hard to organise yourself, such as seeing a clog being made and going inside a windmill (and seeing it chop wood). The guide was really knowledgeable and conducted the tour in English and Spanish. As an English speaker I was very much in the minority which made it hard to talk to other people on the tour, which I had hoped to do as a solo traveller. But this didn't mar the day too much. It was still a good day out from Amsterdam.”
