What To Expect

Make your way to central Amsterdam prior to your departure. With your small group, climb aboard a luxury minivan, fully equipped with air conditioning and on-board Wi-Fi. Relax in your seat and enjoy the views of the passing landscape during the ride.

Arrive at Kinderdijk, which was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997. Explore the windmill complex, including the mills, pumping stations, and dykes, evidence of Dutch inventiveness. Stop at the visitor center to watch a film about the site, and you might even be able to visit the interior of a working windmill.

Back in the van, travel to The Hague, the largest city in Amsterdam which is also the seat of the Dutch government and home to the royal family. Take a city tour in the van, stopping by highlights such as the Peace Palace, the International Criminal Court, and the International Court of Justice.

Make a stop for lunch (own expense), then choose from one of three activities to explore on your own. Stop at Mauritshuis, a museum contains works by both Dutch and international artists, such as Warhol, Rembrandt, and Vermeer. Or you can opt to visit Escher in Het Paleis: This former royal winter palace now homes over 120 prints of the famous M.C. Escher. Or if you're looking for a more playful activity, visit the miniature world of Madurodam to see and learn about Dutch highlights and heritage.

Excellent trip. The windmills really were something special. There are museum ones you can enter and look around. Plenty of information provided about how they work and their history. The stop and the delft factory was really lovely. It gave a great overview of how it's made and there is absolutely no pressure to buy anything. The tour of the Hague included all the highlights and it was great to see the painting"Girl with a pearl earring". Bram is an excellent guide and really it is he who makes the trip so good. He is very personable and easy going and full of information. He was enthusiastic and really wanted us to have a good trip.

Dutch Heritage

KeR, Apr 2023

A meaningful trip to see the Kinderdijk windmills. The Mauritshuis museum is worth a visit. Love their collection!

A good day out of Amsterdam.

Jeffrey_G, June 2022

Excellent trip for seeing the iconic symbol of the Netherlands (windmills). Also, the time in the Hague and Mauritius Huis are a well spent day.

Hey there! First we’d like to thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are glad to hear you had such a good time on our tour! Kind regards, Tour Company

Explore the inside of 280 year old windmills.

David_M, May 2022

Kinderdijk is not only a wonderfully preserved group of windmills, but you get to go inside them and see what it is like to live in one. There are also mill workers present to explain the workings and history. I enjoyed that the site was authentic and not touristy. Also, the driver pointed out interesting landmarks and history along the entire route, especially in The Hague.

Not what we expected

woodskatie12, Apr 2022

Not what we expected. We thought we were signing up for a small group tour (8 people), and ended up being just us. It turned out being less of a “tour” and more of a private driver transporting us places. We didn’t get the tour guide experience of learning about the places we were visiting that we had hoped for. The “live-commentary” was completely absent. Our driver was nice and eager, but not a tour guide. We even tried asking questions, but that didn’t seem to help with explanations. If we had known it was going to be a private driver, we would’ve done some more research ahead of time (the driver kept asking us where we wanted to go, even when we asked for recommendations). Or we would have preferred being notified that it was going to be just us and given the option to change to a different tour. We loved Kinderdijk, but we were disappointed that we didn’t really get a tour of The Hague that we had been looking for. We could have ultimately paid for our own transportation and entrance for a cheaper price.

Excellent trip

Una_C, Sept 2020

An excellent way to see important sights of Netherlands and Belgium

georgemI2889BQ, Oct 2019

The tour was just the right size. A total of 6 visitors in a Mercedes minivan. The sights were extremely worth seeing, especially through the very knowledgeable eyes and words of our guide. It was rainy and windy most of the day but that didn't bother or minimize our enjoyments of the Delft factory, the Kinderdijk windmills, the fabulous Maritshuis Museum in the Hague or the very intimate sightseeing tour of the Hague.

Great tour

Russell_S, May 2019

Bram was a great tour guide! Bonus stop at Delft to see how it was made. Saw the Girl with the Pearl Earring! Windmills were great!

Easily the best tour of our Amsterdam...

John F, Sept 2018

Easily the best tour of our Amsterdam trip. Our guide Gon John was superb explaining all of the major sites along the way. Kinderdijk was wonderful. We had over 2 hours to explore which allowed us to see the Visitors Center movie, take a boat trip along the canal, and visit the inside of one of the windmills. We then proceeded to the Hague where we had a brief driving tour of the city and then stopped at the Mauritshuis Museum where we got to see the Girl With a Pearl Earring and other master works. We had time to lunch at the excellent museum cafe and enough time to walk the the grounds of the Dutch Parliament. We then drove to Delftse Pauw, one of the 2 remaining Delft factories located in Delft. After a brief tour we were able to shop in their extensive gift shop. It was then back to Amsterdam to complete our 9 hour day. We highly recommend this tour. There were only 3 couples on the Mercedes Van so it was nice a private.

Great small group tour to Kinderdijk...

dwight.horkheimer, Nov 2017

Great small group tour to Kinderdijk and The Hague. Our group was very small, just the two of us, as we were the only ones signed up for that day. So we received a very personal and personalized tour for the small group price. Thank you. Greatly enjoyed the visit to Kinderdijk on a nice day for Amsterdam area to walk around the area. Also enjoyed our visit to The Hague.

Excellent tour if you want to see...

GAIL C, Sept 2017

Excellent tour if you want to see and photograph windmills. Kinderdijk is a wonderful world heritage sight- pay the extra 5 euros for the hop on/ hop off boat ride along the canal. Touring The Hague was interesting and visiting the Mauritshuis to see Vermeer's 'Girl with the Pearl Earring' was brilliant. Overall, a wonderful day tour out of Amsterdam. Bram was an excellent driver and commentator.

Amazing tour, our guide was very...

Lynn_D, Sept 2017

Amazing tour, our guide was very knowledgeable of the recent and not so recent history of Amsterdam, The Hague, Kinderdijk and Rottenburg. We enjoyed his friendly personality and considerate nature. We also made a short stop to view the making of Delft Blue pottery which was very enjoyable. Our tour of Mauritshuis to view the Girl with a Pearl Earring was a dream come true. I highly recommend this tour out into the beautiful countryside.

This excursion was well worth it...

Edward F, Aug 2017

This excursion was well worth it. Our guide, Bram was excellent. Our group in May was only 5 people. The windmills were incredible. Don't miss the explanatory interactive film at the visitors center. Walk over to the windmills and walk as far as you can given the time allotment. The Mauritshuis was bigger than I thought and very beautiful, we also had access to a special exhibit. We had time to walk around the government center. I recommend bringing snacks for the trip. We would not have had enough time for a restaurant lunch at the square in The Hague. We were able to sit and enjoy our own food. Bram drove us to the Madurodam but no time to enter and then thru a beach town nearby Scheveningen and then drove us back to the Damrak
