Rent and ride an e-scooter through the breezy harbors of Volendam, Katwoude, Monnickendam, and Marken on this 3-hour self-guided tour. Wind down the beautiful countryside as you pass along typical Dutch windmills, cheese farms, a wooden shoe factory, a 10-kilometer-long dike, a lighthouse, harbor villages, and lots of fisher boats.
Depart from the old harbor in Volendam and ride towards Monnickendam: stop at the Kathammer windmill to soak up a classic Dutch sight. En-route, you'll visit a traditional cheese farm, view a cheese-making demonstration, and sample different kinds of cheeses.
At the old center of Monnickendam, you'll feel like you've stepped into a time capsule. Admire light bronze bricked-houses, the old harbor, the beer brewery, and charming terraces. Find out how local beer is brewed, sample some homemade sausages, and relax on the breezy terraces.
Continue onto the former island of Marken, where characteristic houses and the stunning view over the Gouwzee will catch your view. Stop at the Viskraam (fish stall) to try some traditional haring or Kibbeling. Pass by a wooden shoe factory, go inside, and get a demonstration on how wooden shoes are made.

Finally, at the harbor of Marken, take a boat back to Volendam. As you cruise along the sparkling coastline, learn about the fascinating history and culture of the area with your handy audio guide (English or Dutch).
