What travelers think of our Amsterdam experiences
What you’ll do
Happily sandwiched between the beer-loving nations of Germany and Belgium, it’s no surprise that the Dutch know a thing or two about brewing! Join one of our hosts on a personalized experience of Amsterdam’s most famous brew houses, as well as some of the smaller, unique microbreweries.
The city’s beer heritage dates back to the 15th century when monks and nuns were the primary brewers of the golden nectar. We know, bizarre.
Together, you and your host will wander (not stagger) from a brewery situated in a windmill, to another placed in a former bathhouse. Along the way, your host will suggest yummy eats at local pubs to accompany your beer drinking.
Feel free to engage them on the finer points of Amsterdam’s beer heritage and perhaps stop by at the original Heineken building in the city center. You’ll finish off your day in a trendy craft beer bar where your host will help you choose from the hundreds of Dutch beers on offer.
If you’re having a good time (which we’re sure you will be), pull up a chair and stay awhile when your experience finishes. There are bound to be more tipples to tickle your taste buds!
