Best of the Dutch Countryside: Zaanse Schans and Beyond 🇳🇱

[@ChadandClaire]

With every country we visit, we always try to visit the countryside, just because it allows us to see and experience more traditional architecture, foods, and craft. 🇳🇱 Even though we only got to fit in one day of the Dutch countryside, we’re so glad we went for it, because this was all so memorable for us (especially seeing it on King’s Day)! In next week’s video, we’re traveling to a different country in Europe and starting a new series- any guesses where? 😁 Tours and experiences we did/recommend in Amsterdam: 🥾 Amsterdam: Zaanse Schans, Edam, Volendam & Marken Bus Tour - gyg.me/or9Ps4jI 🌷 From Amsterdam: Keukenhof Entry and Roundtrip Shuttle Bus - gyg.me/rVR8gKH9 🛥 Amsterdam: City Canal Cruise - gyg.me/OuiUtKlj 🍷 Amsterdam: Classic Boat Cruise with Cheese & Wine Option - gyg.me/WlIntoQY 🕰 Amsterdam: Life of Anne Frank and World War II Walking Tour - gyg.me/6LOzs9Cd 🎨 Amsterdam: Van Gogh Museum Ticket - gyg.me/Eu3yZqzc 🍺 Amsterdam: Heineken Experience Ticket - gyg.me/AtVSaNmq 🧀 Amsterdam: Food and Culture Walking Tour with Tastings - gyg.me/22b66xvh 🖼 Amsterdam: Rijksmuseum and Optional Frans Hals Entry Ticket - gyg.me/aweR2DJd 🚲 Keukenhof: Flower Fields Small-Group Cultural Bike Tour - gyg.me/Y1ctDz1Q 👑 Amsterdam: Royal Palace Entry Ticket and Audio Guide - gyg.me/MibpVceO

That looked like an amazing tour! The Netherlands has been on our bucket list for sooooo long. Will have to check out the tour when we visit 🥰

[@spinshade]

We'd love to have you!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

What a fun filled and delicious day! Love how it offered a wide mix of things to see (and eat along the way)! Chad in a cup 🍺

[@ChadandClaire]

Now we need to see Kona in a cup!

As someone who is from the Netherlands, I loved watching your videos. You two seem really nice and sweet.I will definitely watch more of your videos in the future!

[@frank1963]

Hi, you probably won’t read this, because it’s been a while. But I think you’re a lovely couple and I really enjoyed watching your videos about The Netherlands. I’m Dutch, have a safe journey.

[@debbiegallardo9853]

Cheers to u guys, another beautiful adventure. Looking forward for the next country. Take care😍

[@ruud2040]

If you are from the US and traveling to Europe , you are traveling back in time. Most of the people in the US are from Europe. Like my family. Love your video's.👍... ps, You can wake me up in the middle of the night for an eel sandwich and kibbeling o..my mouth is wattering!!!!!!!!!

[@Linda27081988]

Im from the Netherlands, but never visited the spots you went too 😂 I think only the tourists go there! Glad you liked it! The nature is also really nice in Limburg (southern part of NL) or the Veluwe!

[@juwo8181]

„I‘m in the cup“ haha 😂

[@kennethmaese4622]

Honestly, as you were standing in the cheese 🧀 shop, I got a bit jelly 😂. Another great video, thanks for bringing me along. TTFN CnC

[@ChadandClaire]

Sorry we made ya jealous. Also! I had to google TTFN and now i am totally gonna use it! Such a fun way to say bye!

[@smit5590]

Fun fact; Dutch is part of the Germanic language family. There are two subdivisions of the Germanic language West and North. West consists English, German, and Dutch whereas North consists Swedish, Danish, and Norwegian.

[@ChadandClaire]

I didnt realize there was a connection like this! So fascinating! Thanks for sharing!

[@juliegoodwin6850]

What an interesting day!!!!

[@ChadandClaire]

Thanks for joining us Julie!

[@toreylynn74]

What a fun outing! I'm going to be in Belgium for a week in July and was thinking of visiting Amsterdam for a day, but now I think I'll book this day trip! It looks right up my alley! I'll be sure to book through your link! ❤

[@ChadandClaire]

You're the best! Thank you so much for supporting what we do!

[@toreylynn74]

@@ChadandClaire You are very welcome! Thank you for making AWESOME travel videos! I love them! OK, it's all booked for July + the canal cruise as well!

[@carolmartin4413]

Gosh...I thought you were in a suburb of Amsterdam at first. Ya think there is a cultural cohesiveness here maybe?!😁 Got to love the windmills...and chocolate...beer...not sure about the eel...but smoked salmon is fine...clogs? That's a no. Upward and onward!

[@elizabethwilsonwall1049]

I'm wondering if you have ever read the YA book "The Wheel on the School" about Holland? It's a Newbery Winner written in the 50's and is so good.

[@ChadandClaire]

We have not, but I have added it to the list!

[@tikawulandari7517]

You guys have positive vibes ❤

[@ThirstyTunaTaco]

Haha The chocolate smell is the HUGE cocoa factory at the other side. Zaandam is famous as cocoa harbour facility.

[@curtisaguirre757]

As an old friend used to remind me: Remember, Edam is made backwards!

[@davidanalyst671]

I may be wrong, but there is some element of Dutch chocolate culture there too.... Im pretty sure that its almost as famous for chocolate like Switzerland in terms of chocolate culture. This was definitely a fun vid. I guess they don't have drunk boats like they do in mexico, but it still looks fun hahahaha

[@ChadandClaire]

They definitely had some party boats, but not as wild as the ones in Mexico from what we noticed.

[@vast001]

You only have seen a very small part of the country side. Next time go beyond the western part of the Netherlands, those you visited are the typical tourist hotspots. The prices beyond those spots are much nicer too. Like visiting Zwolle, Assen, Groningen, Leeuwarden or the province Limburg. In Limburg you are closeby Belgium and Gemany. You can even visit a German Island Borkum with a ferry from a Dutch harbour. Windmills can be seen in a lot of the Dutch towns.

[@zwollewood]

You need to go to giethoren / Hanzeland Nearby zwolle next time your ar in the nederlands

[@baderalanhdi1929]

Which tour did you take as I’m visiting after 2 weeks

[@funnykitty123]

I want to know what Christmas ornaments you guys get ❤️

[@ChadandClaire]

We forgot to share off our ornament for amsterdam, but we picked one up! :D You'll just have to wait for the reveal during the Christmas time. 😉

[@bh8138]

Glad you both enjoying the trip...I don't know but the Netherlands and it's wet land and weather is not too enticing for me. Lots of other places I'd visit first...but glad for getting to see your adventures there!

[@MarkYaklich-fm3ty]

If your next country is Belgium, please go to the St Sixtus abbey in Vleteren and pick me up some Westvleteren 12!!! TIA :)

[@ChadandClaire]

haha as long as we can borrow a cup of sugar we have a deal! 🤝😂

[@Destinavigator]

📣 WOOOW! Very good video! Thanks for this! 👋🏼 I am a Small Struggling Travel Channel and this video really inspire me to up my self and make better content ☺️

[@ChadandClaire]

You got this 💪 Just keep being true to yourself and the channel with shine through!

[@namelessnelly]

You both are such an adorable couple! ❤ What month did you visit Amsterdam?

[@1peruvianguy]

🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱

[@christopheferraux2864]

Hello frome France for the next country visited I will say Luxembourg it is the closest to my home, I am 50 km (31 mile) from the border

[@ChadandClaire]

good guess! :D hehe

[@hkelder1956]

The video is fine. But you seem to have only visited the typical tourist locations. Places where I as a dutch person never come. The Netherlands is so much more then flowers or wooden shoes or cheese.

[@RuralLife_Channel]

Because they're tourists🤷🏻‍♀️which btw helps Dutch economy.

[@AKBABELP]

What month was this? Thanks!

[@walkwithwan]

Hello how are you
