Know More about this tour

Following a morning pickup from your hotel in Brussels, hop aboard your air-conditioned coach and drive out of the city to begin your tour. Travel through low-lying countryside dotted with traditional Dutch windmills, before arriving in Amsterdam approximately three hours later.

First, visit a traditional craft center with your guide and admire all that makes Holland so special. See tasty cheeses, wooden clogs and beautiful pottery on display and perhaps pick up a souvenir or two. Afterwards, enjoy a little time for lunch (optional) and head off along the Amstel River and make a photo stop at a traditional, quaint windmill.

Continue on to the center of Amsterdam — passing the Dutch National Bank and the famous Heineken brewery — and perhaps take the opportunity to explore the picturesque canals on an optional boat tour (own expense).

From there, travel on to the famous Dam Square in the historic center of the city and follow your guide on an informative walking tour. Admire the Royal Palace of Amsterdam — built as a town hall during the Dutch Golden Age in the 17th century. Wander along tranquil canal ways and through the infamous red light district.

At the end of your walking tour, enjoy a little free time to stroll along the shopping streets at your leisure then hop back aboard your coach for the journey back to Brussels.

  • Youhan was amazing!!!!

  • We really enjoyed our trip to Amsterdam with Viator. On the plus side, booking was easy although you had to confirm with Belgian office about pick up points by 9am on the day before the trip, which was difficult for us, as we were travelling to Belgium at that point!, Also the staff were really helpful in liaising with me and were brilliant in helping reunite my son with some personal property he left on the bus at the end of the day too! The guide's knowledge about both Brussels and Amsterdam was really interesting and added to the trip, making the journey to Amsterdam pass a little more quickly.

    The journey is around 3 hours each way, but the coach is comfortable. Each journey was broken by a short 'comfort' break which was a good idea as there is no toilet on the coach.

    As we approached Amsterdam we were asked if we wanted to go on the canal trip an extra 16 euros each,having read the reviews about being made to stay on the coach for 75 minutes if you DIDN'T go encouraged me to pay up, however, when we arrived in Amsterdam, those that had chosen not to take the trip WERE able to leave the coach and explore the area still close to the centre of Amsterdam while the rest of us enjoyed a pleasant trip along the canals.

    From there we travelled close to Dam Square and had the option to follow the guide through the Red Light District before having around 2 and a half hours free time to explore on our own. As others have already said, this is less time that I would have liked, and really only gave us time to eat and browse a few shops before needing to gather to get back on the bus. This trip gives you a flavour of Amsterdam only and you would certainly have insufficient time to visit any of the museums or Anne Franks house as the queues are massive.

    After getting back on the coach, we had about a half an hour's journey to the edge of the city to visit a cheese and clog making premises. The owner talked about how the cheese is made for a while before taking us to a large room at the back of the building selling cheese and clogs as well as other Dutch gift items. This was quite interesting but the stop was, as others have said, quite lengthy, and I perhaps would have rather an extra hour in Amsterdam. Before leaving, the coach parked a little up the road outside a windmill which is now a private house and we were allowed to get off the coach and take selfies on the pavement outside.

    Ultimately, it was as described...a day trip to Amsterdam and, as I've said, gives you a flavour of the city and of the Netherlands. We enjoyed it and I would recommend it to others. I liked having a guide and being a full-on tourist for the day! If you want to explore Amsterdam, it would be easier to stay in the city itself.

    The range of people who went on the trip was extensive: couples of all ages, solo travellers and extended family groups too, and the guide was considerate and inclusive of all.

    Thank you for a great day out and great customer service Viator!
