The Amsterdam Windmill Tour will take you outside of Amsterdam so you can see the other parts of the country.

Great way to see more of the Netherlands!

The Amsterdam Windmill Tour was a great way to see what the country is known for - the beautiful windmills! We also tried the Edam and Gouda cheese which were so delicious. Everything was on time, and the guide was professional and told us a lot about Holland, so this was money well spent!

Convenient transportation and very well organized tour

I really wanted to see Dutch tulips bloom, so this tulip tour was a good find! We went outside of Amsterdam and got to see the beautiful landscapes of the country and take a lot of photos of the tulip fields! The transportation was really convenient because I hate finding transportation in a new country.

Emma

Bruges and fine chocolate all day - great combo!

I can’t recommend this tour enough! I was staying in Amsterdam for a few days and really wanted to visit some other nearby countries. Bruges is a beautiful medieval town with lots of old buildings, and I had a lovely time there! I recommend trying some local chocolate and other delicacies! Our guide gave us an interesting tour of the town and gave us good recommendations on what to try and where to buy it.
