About your host
Zaan ToursWe started in 2014 to offer guided tours in the Zaan region. The Zaan region, next to Amsterdam, has its own vibrant history. From controlling the flow of the Zaan River to shipbuilding. From more than a thousand big industrial windmills to a large food industry with companies such as Albert Heijn, Verkade, cacao factories and many more. We wanted, and still do, to show visitors of this region and why we are so proud of where we are from.
For every trip booked, Kodama Travel donates £1 to Just One Tree to restore our forests and the ocean.
