Bike and boat trip to the windmills around Amsterdam

Bike and boat trip to the windmills around Amsterdam

On this tour you travel by boat to Zaandam, just like the gentlemen millers were doing in the 17th century when they travelled to Amsterdam for business. You will experience this tour from an historian point of view and understand the relationship between Amsterdam and the Zaan region. Visit windmills that are quit and give you the opportunity to undergo the experience when the wind gets a grip on the sails and the force captured is converted into energy the mill start moving and shaking and initiates an entire production process.
