Kinderdijk is a village in the Netherlands' South Holland province, known for its iconic 18th-century windmills. Its water-management network features 19 mills and 3 pumping stations, plus dikes and reservoirs that control flooding in the polder (low-lying land). Waterways, footpaths, and bike trails crisscross the area, leading to the main visitors center and museums in preserved working windmills.
Gouda

After the scenic drive, you will arrive to Gouda where you will have a city center walking tour with Gouda cheese and stroopwafels tasting. You will have time to buy some souvenirs.

Gouda is a Dutch city south of Amsterdam in the province of South Holland. It’s known for its namesake cheese and seasonal cheese market, regularly held on the medieval Markt square. Anchoring the square is the 15th-century town tall, a Gothic building with red and white shutters. Also on the square is the 17th-century Goudse Waag, once a cheese-weighing station and now home to the Gouda Cheese Museum.

At the end of the tour, your guide will bring you back to your hotel in Rotterdam or to your ship at the Cruise Terminal.
