TOUR OPERATORS & GROUPS

Bring your groups to lunch in a living museum, right in the heart of the Zaanse Schans.

A STOP YOUR GUESTS WILL REMEMBER

D'Swarte Walvis (The Black Whale) is housed in three monumental buildings among the windmills by the river Zaan, about 15 minutes from Amsterdam. We welcome groups every day for lunch, high tea and drinks, in historic rooms full of stories. Our set menus for groups are easy to plan, so your programme stays on schedule.
