Visit the FloraHolland Aalsmeer Flower Auction: A Global Floral Hub
Your day begins with an early morning visit to the FloraHolland Flower Auction in Aalsmeer, the largest floral marketplace on the planet. This isn’t a tourist show; it’s the heart of the global flower trade. From a special overhead walkway, you’ll witness the incredible logistics as millions of flowers are bought and sold.
This year-round spectacle is the perfect alternative to the seasonal Keukenhof gardens, offering a fascinating look into a cornerstone of the Dutch economy. An early morning tour is essential to see the auction at its most vibrant.
Authentic Dutch Cheese Tasting & Clog Making Demonstration
Next on your Dutch countryside tour, we travel to a family-owned farm to discover the secrets of two beloved traditions. You’ll enjoy a live demonstration showing how artisan cheesemakers create world-famous Gouda. Then, you’ll savour the results with a generous cheese tasting, sampling different ages and flavours. You’ll also see a craftsman transform a block of wood into a classic Dutch clog (wooden shoe), a skill passed down through generations.
Scenic Windmill Tour along the Amstel River
No tour of the Dutch countryside is complete without windmills. Your journey back to Amsterdam will be a scenic drive along the picturesque Amstel River. We’ll make a stop at a beautifully preserved windmill, giving you the perfect opportunity for that iconic photo.
