Amazing tour to Zaanse Schans. - That was amazing tour with Maxim in Zaanse Schans. Be sure if you choose this guide and agency you will get an unforgettable experience, plunge into the history of the Netherlands, told with attention to details, expression and love for this country. Get answers to all your ridiculous questions and you will regret that you have so little time planned for the tours.
