Bruges Day Trip from Amsterdam

Charles_F, July 2026

Well worth the time for this trip.

Others have said that you spend more time getting to and from Amsterdam, and that part is true. You have a nice clean air conditioned bus to nap or watch the countryside from while in transit. Once you get to Bruges, you are taken back in time to a wonderful and beautiful city. There is a lot to see and you’ll get amazing pictures. Take your time finding a nice restaurant for lunch. Some of them on them main tourist areas are just average. Use some of your bus time to locate a good spot. The tour guides are really good. Be prepared that your bus trip may be given in English and in Spanish. Don’t panic, Your tour in Bruges will be English for English speakers. Someone else will guide the Bruges trip in Spanish for Spanish speakers. Our trip was sunny and hot. The guide says most tours have some rain. Be prepared and check the weather for appropriate clothing and rain gear.

Philip took us to see the real Dutch countryside, complete with stories about its heritage and history. He took us to unique areas that were NOT crowded with tourists as per our request to stay off the beaten path. Philip was both extremely knowledgeable and entertaining. He never rushed us and let us spend as much time in the attractions that interested us the most, including the working saw windmill, the only one of its kind. A great tour and fun day with an excellent guide!

Zaanse Schans, Edam, Volendam and Marken Tour

Roxana_H, July 2026

Exceptional Tour

This tour was fantastic from start to finish. The moment our bus pulled away, we knew we were in good hands — the ride was comfortable, spacious, and very accommodating. As we traveled, our guide shared fascinating details about the dams and landscapes we passed, making the journey itself part of the experience. We made several stops, each one absolutely worth it. The cheese factory was a highlight, especially the tasting room — delicious and fun. The windmills were breathtaking, truly one of the most beautiful sights you’ll ever see. Along the way, there were plenty of gift shops and food options, so you’re never without something to explore. A quick tip: wear comfortable shoes. You’ll walk quite a bit, but honestly, you’ll be so captivated by the scenery that you won’t even notice. We traveled as a family of four, ages ranging from 20 to 80, and the tour was wonderfully accommodating for everyone. I want to give a special thanks to our tour guide for making the day memorable, informative, and seamless.

Once in a lifetime experience

This was by far one of our favorite excursions. It was very moving and educational. Eva’s personal family story really brought the experience to life. Her story made the ride to Vught go by so fast. Five stars was the max I could give. I would give it a 10 if I could. I highly recommend this excursion to anyone coming to Amsterdam and looking for unique experience.

A lovely experience of Holland outside of the usual Amsterdam

Rick was one of the best tour guides I've experienced in a long while. He was informative, and knowledgeable, as well as giving the group an insight into the Dutch life and its peoples. While a long experience, we saw a lot, from cheese making and tasting, to clog making, a seaside village and all those windmills. Our group thoroughly enjoyed the day, and would highly recommended it.
