The Netherlands has way more to offer than just the beautiful sights of Amsterdam. We encourage you to explore the rest of the country, to make sure you have the full Dutch experience. The best way to discover what’s outside the city is by a day trip from Amsterdam.
Amsterdam tours outside the city
Amsterdam is a beautiful city, but we can imagine you want to see some more of the Netherlands while you’re here. That’s why we offer a wide range of tours and daytrips from Amsterdam. You can choose from a variety of destinations like the Giethoorn, a windmill village, cheese markets, the Rotterdam area or Volendam fishersman village.
We’ve divided our tours in two types: regular bus tours with a large sized tour bus and luxury tours for small groups. The duration of the tours varies from 3.5 hours to a day trip from 10 hours. So no matter how much time you have to spend, there’s always an excursion or bus tour from Amsterdam that suits your wishes.
Bus tours
With these tours you’re driven around the beautiful Dutch landscapes in a large bus. A friendly and professional guide shows you all the highlights of your chosen destination. Whether you go to the windmill village, a cheese market or Volendam, there’s always someone to guide your way through The Netherlands.
Visit, for example, three typical Dutch destinations during the bus tour to Volendam, Edam and Zaanse Schans of keep it small and visit just the Windmill village.
Looking for a super tasty trip? Book our tour to a Cheese market and your won't be disappointed. Cheese tasting will get an entire new meaning after you've been to Alkmaar or Gouda.
Check out our downstairs neighbors of Zuid-Holland with an super versatile day tour to Rotterdam, Delft and The Hague.
Small group tour
A small group tour is the perfect way to experience all the sights outside Amsterdam. These Amsterdam day tours are a dash more luxurious since you travel with a smaller party in an air-conditioned minivan with a personal guide. All the small group tours are daytrips and take about nine hours.
We offer trips to Giethoorn, where you spend the day cruising the Giethoorn canals, among many other things, but a day trip to the Kröller-Müller & National Park is highly recommended because you combine your museum visit with cycling through national park De Hoge Veluwe.
Besides these tours, you're able to travel to Unesco Kinderdijk & The Hague - and we let you choose from three different attractions. Not done with Zuid-Holland, yet? Book your daytrip to Rotterdam, Delft & The Hague.
Check out Van Gogh Returns if your want to experience a trip filled with art. You're driven to Nuenen, a village that was a tremendous inspiration to Van Gogh and later visit the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam.
Amsterdam to Belgium daytrips
We also have a seasonal special for you: bus tours to Belgium! Due to low demand in some seasons, we’re not able to offer you trips to Belgium the entire year. If the trip is available when you’re visiting the Netherlands, you should be able to find it at the Bus Tours.
