Loved discovering the Zaanse Schans this way - My boyfriend and I really enjoyed this audio walk at the Zaanse Schans. The route and stories were really nice, and the tour also tells you where you can pause to look inside a windmill, visit a clog workshop or see old techniques in action. Such a nice way to be guided through the area while learning about its history at your own pace.
