Heart of Belgium and Holland in 11 Days Tour

On Day 8, the tour day begins in Rotterdam, stop at Keukenhof, and then head north, to "learn how a windmill works, before taking a step back in time to the postcard-perfect region of Waterland." "Sleep in or near Hoorn".

Questions for those who have been on this tour:
*Where is the stop to learn how a windmill works?
*In which town did you sleep?
*After arriving at the hotel, do you have much time for exploring the town?

We'll be staying in Amsterdam before the tour begins in Ghent, so I'm trying to figure out where to go north of Amsterdam that won't be visited by the tour.
Thanks!

I will be on that tour this spring, and I believe it has changed from previous years, so nobody on the forum will be able to answer your questions.
You can contact the RS office.

We took this tour last spring. The 2025 itinerary has changed; specifically regarding the location(s) you are asking about.
As LizinPA said, the Rick Steves office can give you all the specifics. They are very helpful. Enjoy the tour!

Oops! Sorry.
Should have done my homework. Thanks for alerting me that the tour never included the area north of Amsterdam.
