In our tour, we first head to Zaanse Schans to see the windmills. You can feel yourself in the 17th century in Zaanse Schans, Holland's fairy-tale windmill village, an open-air museum consisting of 13 protected active windmills and 35 historic houses. After our Zaanse Schans tour, we will go to Volendam, an old fishing town. We will visit the colorful two-story historic houses, souvenir shops and especially cheese shops, charming cafes and restaurants along the pier area closed to vehicle traffic in this peaceful town, and do some shopping. From there, we move to Marken, a village located on a small island. While walking through the village, we will visit a "Marken House" overlooking the Marken harbor. This tiny house is furnished as if a fisherman family from Marken lived here until 1932 and displays the furniture and decor of that period. Inside the village, we will also visit a shop where it is shown how the wooden clogs, part of Holland's cultural heritage, are made and where hundreds of colorful clogs are sold. Then we move to Giethoorn, known as the Venice of Holland. While visiting Giethoorn, a village that looks like a postcard with its canals, reminiscent of a film set adapted from fairy tales, and seemingly crafted by Hobbits, you will feel yourself in a very unusual environment. After this very enjoyable and experience-filled tour, we return to Amsterdam. Overnight at our hotel.

Antwerp (Anvers) is one of the second largest and very important port cities after the capital Brussels of Belgium. It is one of the oldest cities in Europe. It has the world's fourth largest and Europe's second largest port. The Schelde river running through the city allows large ships to navigate up to 350 km inland. No bridges have been built over the river so as not to hinder ship passage. It is the second largest city in Belgium after the capital Brussels. The fairy-tale-like streets and buildings we will see during the free time given here are breathtakingly beautiful. After the Antwerp tour, we arrive in Brussels. In our Brussels city tour, we will see Grand Place, the city's most important and lively square surrounded by many historical structures, restaurants, cafes and souvenir shops; Hotel de Ville, built in Gothic style in the 13th century in the same square, used by the royal family for special occasions such as weddings today, with its 96-meter-high tower; Manneken Pis, the famous symbol of Brussels, a bronze statue of a urinating child, built in the 17th century and 61 cm tall; Atomium, another famous symbol of Brussels with its unusual design, depicting the iron crystal magnified 165 billion times, 18 meters in diameter and consisting of 9 sections; the Royal Palace of Belgium located in front of Brussels Park; and the impressive Saint Jacques sur Coudenberg Church nearby.
