Heineken Experience in Amsterdam: 1.5-hour self-guided brewery tour with English presentation, Brew U ride, and draft-pouring tips, plus drinks.
“Was fun. Take your time and let the group scatter.”
75-minute Amsterdam canal cruise plus fast-track Heineken Experience with 2 drinks. UNESCO views, audio in 19 languages, all for $47.
“Amazing experience, it’s best to have a canal cruise at night though as it looks better. Heineken experience is well worth it though”
Fast-track Heineken Experience plus a 1-hour GPS canal cruise through Amsterdam’s UNESCO Canal Belt, for about $44.
“Great App. Not only was it extremely easy to use it shows the most popular activities so that you know early booking is essential. It also shows "what else is out there to see".”
Amsterdam VIP Heineken tour with a small group, behind-the-scenes access, a hidden bar tasting of 5 beers, and a personalized gift.
“Micheal was great. Super knowledgeable about the brand and facility. We had a great time and glad we booked this tour! Also, plenty of beer to try!”
Heineken Experience plus a 75-minute UNESCO canal cruise from Amsterdam’s heart, with snacks, drinks, and multilingual audio.
“The canal cruise was nice and added a thorough narrative during the ride. Good way to see the city. The heineken was fun. Different than the guiness tour in dublin it was mostly about the beer making process. Interesting to get an immersion tour including a very visual component where you are the beer! Lastly the sample beers at the end felt like a college party. Fun time!”
A Super Saver combo in Amsterdam: Heineken Experience with two drinks plus a 1-hour Lovers canal cruise with GPS audio on the UNESCO canal ring.
“The Heineken tour was fun, but they new nothing about the canal ride. Viator neglects to explain how to redeem the canal ride. Kind of a rip off. Could have just booked the tour directly with Heineken and taken the Heineken canal ride.”
Pedal through Amsterdam’s Sloterdijk on a beer bike with an onboard bar, 20 liters of beer, an English guide, and a short coffeeshop stop.
“Brilliant tour! Not great scenery however we had a great time. The people you go with definitely make the experience. Would do this again.”
Small-group Amsterdam canal cruise with a guided tour and unlimited beer and wine, passing De Wallen, Rembrandt sights, and the Skinny Bridge.
“Justin was wonderful. Told fun stories and great history! I highly recommend booking a night cruise.”
Tour the Stadshaven Brewery in Rotterdam inside a restored fruit warehouse, learn brewing basics, then taste beer with snacks.
“De tour via een filmpje en een trap+steiger was alles🙄. Vanaf de steiger kan je naar beneden de ketels zien vanaf een afstand. Dat was alles🙄. Kortom jammer.”
A private 90-minute open-top beer boat cruise through Amsterdam’s Canal Belt, with 4 free beers per person and an English guide.
“Super Tour für einen JGA. Getränke in sehr guter Menge vorhanden. Kann man nur empfehlen.”
Taste 10 Henri Willig Gouda cheeses with dips, mustard, and two beer or wine options in a small-group attic by Tuschinski Theater.
“Suzanne took us through a fun 1 hour cheese and paired beverage (wine/Beer etc.) tasting. Included in the presentation was some history and cheese making insights from the Henry Willis farm. We were all amazed at the volume of cheese that was offered to us, and the wine smacked. This experience is a must do on your trip to Amsterdam. Thank you Suzanne!!!!”
Eindhoven Bottle Distillery tour with a master distiller, tasting 3 spirits and snacks. Additive-free production explained in 1 hour.
“What a hidden gem in Eindhoven! The tour was very informative. As a batch of gin was being distilled I got to see the distilling process in action. The tasting room has a nice atmosphere, the three tastes were generously poured and the cocktails were outstanding. Our guide and barista, Annie, was excellent! I highly recommend this tasting experience.”
A 3-hour Amsterdam craft beer tour by air-conditioned bus, hitting 3 craft breweries with guided tastings, friendly hosts, and great value.
“We went to 3 breweries one that we probably would not have discovered otherwise. A good amount of beer drinking vs. chatting which I appreciated. The perfect length.”
Taste four Delft craft beers in a medieval 1300 cellar at Delfts Brouwhuis, with Bavarian pretzels and cheese-beer dip.
“The service was very polite. The building itself is pretty cool. We also bought an additional beer. All the beer was very good. My only concern was the pretzel was REALLY hard, but the dip was tasty! I would recommend this activity.”
Ride a party bike through Amsterdam with cold beer or Prosecco, a guide and sober driver, and a short, fun 1.5-hour loop.
“I cannot recommend enough! Mu was great, he made sure we were all happy and the experience was better than expected. The group had so much fun & allowed us to play our own music! Constantly was topped up with soft drinks & Prosecco. Thank you so much to Mu!”
