The story behind the creation of Heineken is impressive. The experience clearly conveys the details and the company's journey up to the present day. It is a highly interactive experience that goes beyond just the beer.

The tour guide was very informative and interesting. She took us through all phases of the beer making process. The videos were fun to watch, and, of course we loved sampling the beer.

A brewery tour with a twist. A mix of activities, a bit of history, a bit of the art of brewing, and a bit of a show to experience and help shape yourself. The beer was delicious, and the tour’s finale in the cellar was the perfect finishing touch. Although we were the oldest at 70, we felt right at home among the younger crowd.

We had no expectations for both, but they were wow and 100% worth it. The Heineken experience blew our minds. 😁🤯 The Ice bar is really extremely cold 🥶, but you can survive 10-15 minutes. The drinks were very tasty.

The people giving the information new their stuff and you could ask them any questions about the brewing bottling and where Heineken receives its barley

The reservation process was smooth, but the most important thing is that we want to give a big shout-out to the staff. A visit can sometimes feel long, but with them (and with someone who doesn't drink alcohol), we had a wonderful time! 10/10

It was interesting to learn that Ajax won its Champions League titles several years ago thanks to a great player who led the team back then. The stadium is very nice.

Beer tasting and a tour of the trophies in the hall. Too bad there’s no audio guide in French. A great package for tourists

For me, a vet student that love horses, was very special to see how horses helped in the past with the beer evolution!
