    This was a very small area that is very busy and there for the mills and shops are so small that you can not see much so not worth the money did nt even get to taste any cheese.

    Guide Marianne was great. Not her fault but non-stop translating on coach and soooo loud., I think about 3 translations. Zaanse Schans a disappointment. Toooooo many people in one place. Clog demonstration interesting. Cheese demonstration good but far too many people in tasting area.
