Can I get a private driver for Zaanse Schans, Edam and Volendam in one day?
Yes, as one hourly booking from your Amsterdam hotel: the whole loop — Amsterdam to Zaanse Schans, on to Edam, the short hop to Volendam and back — is only about 65 km of driving, so the hours are nearly all spent at the stops. A 5-hour day is €325 and a 6-hour day €390 in Business Class, or €480 for 6 hours in Van Class for up to 7, per car with 40 km included per hour and the chauffeur waiting at each stop.

How many hours should we book?
The driving is about an hour and a quarter in total, so the hours are your time at the stops: 5 hours suits a brisk day, 6 or 7 a relaxed one.
Can we add Marken?
Yes, within the hours you book; tell the chauffeur in the morning so the order of the stops works.
Is it the same price for a family of five?
The price is per car: Business Class takes up to 3 passengers, so five travel in Van Class at €80 an hour.
