4.The Ultimate Craft Beer Adventure in Amsterdam!

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 33 reviews · 3 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $130

Meet at Dam Square for a three-and-a-half-hour walk through central Amsterdam. With a guide such as Hugh or Michael, you’ll taste Dutch jenever, five or six local craft beers, cheeses, and bar snacks at historic tasting rooms, then finish near Brouwerij De Prael. The group is limited to 10 people.

“Was a fun experience overall. My only suggestion is moving the initial meeting spot. Having the group meet in a large square filled with hundreds of people is confusing and there wasn't really any obvious way to identify the group. I had search for about 10 minutes to find the group and there were others who didn't show up and I suspect for that reason. How about moving the meeting place to the first bar on the list in the future? That way if people are late they can still find you and join in.”
