  • With its brick buildings, open skyline, and rich history Amsterdam has plenty on offer for first-time visitors. On this tour, you will get a perfect introduction to the Dutch capital as well as its lifestyle. Expect to see windmills, bikes, canals, cheese, and clogs galore - all quintessential Amsterdam things!

    Once you cross the border from Brussels, you will get sweeping views of polder landscapes and windmills. At Amsterdam, start your journey by visiting a local crafts center. Discover how traditional cheeses and clogs are made, before stopping a short photo opportunity near a Dutch windmill. When you reach the heart of the city, pass by the Dutch National Bank, as well as the former Heineken brewery museum.

    Top off your experience with a guided boat tour that takes you along Amsterdam’s scenic canals. This is undoubtedly the number one attraction in the city.
