Holland in One Day Sightseeing Tour

Amsterdam, Netherlands

With just a day to spare, immerse yourself in the best of The Netherlands on the grand Holland Tour from Amsterdam. Escorted by a knowledgeable local guide, you'll experience Rotterdam, view Delft pottery, venture to The Hague and duck and weave through Madurodam.

This guided excursion takes you to Aalsmeer for a visit to the world's largest flower auction (45 minutes). Please note: The flower auction is closed on Sundays. The visit is replaced by a visit to a wooden shoe (clogs) factory.

Your next destination is Rotterdam where you'll see the experimental architecture and eclectic collection of buildings that make Rotterdam unique during your city tour.

Next, stop in the city center for a one-hour visit to Delftse Pauw, one of the famous Delft Blue potteries in picturesque Delft. The blue-and-white pottery became famous as a 17th-century duplicate of Chinese porcelain.

You will then continue to The Hague for a tour passing such famous sites as the Houses of Parliament. Finally, you'll visit Holland's famous miniature town, Madurodam. You will have an hour to wander around, exploring miniature models of famous Dutch buildings and sights, as well as the world's largest miniature railway.

Please note Madurodam will be closed from November 7, 2011 to April 01, 2012. You will spend more time in Delft and The Hague instead.

Very quick tour but is as promised, a quick tour of Holland. Wish we could have more time in Delft. We left the tour in The Hague and went into the Mauritshuis Museum where "Girl With A Pearl Earring" was housed.

The trip was informative and covered a variety of places and attractions.

Somos un grupo de 6 amigos de Madrid. Tras la excursión de Holland Tulips and Windmills Day trip from Amsterdam, con la misma agencia, contratamos también por internet esta otra._br/_ En esta ocasión, el viaje fue una decepción. La visita a Rotterdam fue una verguenza... las casas cúbicas, y demás monumentos y edificios espectaculares, las vimos desde el autobús, sin detenernos siquiera, sin apenas explicaciones de la guia, simplemente las vimos unos segundos a través de la ventana del autobús. La parada que hicimos en la ciudad fue en una esquina que daba al río para hacernos fotos en ese descanso que duró, como bien informó la guia, 4 minutos!! Un viaje de chinos (no por ofender, sino porque era bajar, foto y subir del bus). En Delf, la guia no dejaba de darle publicidad a la tienda que visitamos de cerámica (se llevará comision?) Eran muy económicos: jarrones a más de 3000 €... una ganga ;) La granja que visitamos en este caso fue bastante penosa en comparación con la de la otra excursión que contratamos, rapidisima y cutre. Las 2 últimas paradas fueron un poco más decentes, con tiempo libre y edificios preciosos para hacer fotos por las calles. Para finalizar el viaje, de vuelta a Amsterdam...la guía pidió "propinas" por sus servicios... obviamente con un "gracias y adios" estaba servida por nuestra parte. No recomendaría esta excursión a quienes deseen hacer un viaje con calma y no a través de un cristal (viendo cómo los lugares más bonitos los ven desde un autobús en movimiento)

The flower market first up was very interesting! Then we saw Rotterdam, not enough time there... only given 5 minutes to take photos. Then we saw Delft pottery being made which was great. Then we had an hour and a half for lunch in Delft which I thought was a bit too much really and would have preferred more time to see Rotterdam. The tour guide spoke 4 languages which was pretty amazing in itself. Overall a good day getting out of the city!

Very nice and very informative. We have a really funny tour guide as well...

Review by: Guergana T	March 2012
It was wonderful tour. The driver was extremely attentive and the tour guide was amazing. We had the best time and really enjoyed it! Thank you. Definitely we will use again your company.

Review by: nandobike	March 2012
The tour was great, especially the visit to Delft in which they gave us some free time during lunch to sightsee around. The travel agency is very serious and I recommend their tours.

Review by: Javier R	February 2012
To be honest, the flower market was not that good. Delf was awesome too.

Review by: Jennifer K	February 2012
Great experience! Our tour guide was very helpful at explaining some of the details behind each stop. I wasn't overly impressed with the Delft stop, but we enjoyed the flower auction and Rotterdam. You may want to eat somewhere faster than the recommended spot, though, so you can see more things.

Review by: Peter V	January 2012
Wonderful way to see Southern Holland. Fantastic Tour Guide. Highly recommend Tour.

Review by: Jonathan C	January 2012
Nicely paced, excellent guide.

Review by: cinathot	January 2012
Nice but: visit to flower market was a useless waste of time: market empty! And in The Hague there would have been time to visit at least one museum.

Review by: Constance B	November 2011
This is a must do if you have limited time and want to get the most out of your Netherlands experience.

Review by: alexandre s	October 2011
Excellent: Funny and informative.

Review by: ifrpilot2001	October 2011
An excellent tour, which provided great value for the money paid. A young woman named Anna acted as the bus tour director. She was excellent and knowledgeable, and couldn't hide how proud she was to be "Dutch", as she switch her tour presentation seamlessly between fluent English and Spanish.

Review by: Chris	October 2011
Outstanding. Good guide and allowed us to visit three places that we otherwise have missed. Booked eight tours with Vaitor in Amsterdam/Italy and had no problems with any of them and surprised to find so many other travelers using them. Well done Viator.

Review by: Ugis B	October 2011
Really worthwhile._br/_ Loved the Alsmeer Flower Market and Rotterdam.

Review by: Lilly	October 2011
The tour was a good way to see Holland. Our tour guide was excellent

Review by: Tatirlima	October 2011
Nice ride - specially, in Rotterdam, Delft and Hague, where we could have had more time. Aalsmeer and Madurodam are just ok.

Review by: sootix	September 2011
The guide was awesome and the driver was great, but the tour was quite a disappointment in terms of what it did to our expectations. The picture on the site (the thumbnail) gives an impression of castles (and possibly windmills), but we saw next to none of those. We were in a bus, stopped only a few times, and had to make do with blurred or faraway pictures at best.

Review by: fei	September 2011
tour is giving good general view of 3 cities and flower auction.Delft potery could be left out so more time in city center.

Review by: Kamlesh N	September 2011
Loved Rotterdam and Delft. Visit to the farmhouse with cheese making and wooden shoe making is well worth it. Highly recommend this tour for those looking get out of the lights and party atmosphere of Amsterdam and see Netherlands!.

Review by: americanboy99	August 2011
totally loved it...!!!!:)

Review by: Gregory W	August 2011
If your time is limited, this is a great way to see a lot of Holland in one day.

Review by: Lewke F	August 2011
Great tour. Saw a lot. Especially enjoyed the stop at Delft and lunch at the recommended restaurant.

Review by: Joshua C C	July 2011
This day was quite interesting! Our stop at the flower auctions was pretty cool, seeing the massive industry it creates for The Netherlands! Delft Pottery and Ceramics was also nice! Cool to see how they make the stuff! The highlight of the day is surely Madurodam! A miniature version of Holland! Simply amazing! Was a really nice day too which was great!

Review by: James W	July 2011
Very good. A quick overview of the Holland countryside, Rotterdam, Delft pottery shop, and the Hague.

Review by: Emilia T	July 2011
Excellent tour. Was pleasantly surprised by Delft and the Haag. Madurodam is interesting for both adults and children. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Review by: Genevieve D	July 2011
Great. Good guide. Some repetition of information.

Review by: Valerie R	July 2011
Great tout, I could not believe we went to so many places in just one day. I would recommend it.

Review by: Heather B	July 2011
So much to take in that you cannot ever say you did not enjoy the tour - we even saw several weddings taking place - loved it all

Review by: Sam Kow W	July 2011
worth every cent of it, espesially the visit to the_br/_ flowers auction

Review by: claire c	July 2011
saw so much in such little time. loved Delft town square, be sure to eat at guide's recomended cafe for pancakes. Comfy coach,excellent guide. Tour without fault. needed more time in Maurodam

Review by: Michael D	June 2011
A good day. We were a bit concerned about this tour as we had done two half day tours with this company on the previous day that were very bad. However, this tour was OK and it was a pleasant day.

Review by: Armand M	May 2011
Guide was excellent. I don't think I would do Madurodam again. Too long a day. But, all in all, a very good trip.

Review by: Jose	May 2011
Gives a great sense of Holland. Anna Maria our tour guide was excellent. Wish we could stop for five minutes to see the Hague castle and take photo shots. The Hague portion of the trip was all on the bus and a stop would have been perfect.

Review by: Melissa P	May 2011
The tour on the whole was ok. I was most looking forward to the "City tour of Rotterdam" though and was very disappointed to only be driven around it. And not even have the bus stop to take photos.

Review by: STEVEN G	May 2011
A very thorough trip fron North to South Holland taking in some interesting sights along the way._br/_ First off is a trip to a farm where we were shown cheese making followed by the making of traditional Dutch shoes, which we know as clogs! Quite interesting to see the farm and how they do it. The flower auction was shut on this day as it was a bank holiday so we then made our way to Rotterdam for a city tour by bus and a brief photography stop at the old harbour. Rotterdam looked nice and interesting and i would have rather incorporated an hour stop at least. We then visited a Delft blue pottery workshop where we were given a demonstration on the making of the pottery, this was quite interesting and the small shop housed to lovely souvenirs albeit at a price. After an hour in Delft market square for lunch we went through The Hague for a look at the city centre, which didn't look very exciting to be fair. Then we had an hour and a bit at Madurodam, Holland in miniature which was enjoyable but more for the kids i think. I would have cut that out for a more lengthy stop in Rotterdam but it is hard to please everyone. All in all a very good value trip and an excellent way to experience a slice of what Holland has to offer.

Review by: Marianne N	May 2011
If you would like to see as much as possible of Holland in a short period of time this is a trip to do. The only disappointing part was the flower market - by the time we got there, there was not much flowers left and the selling was over. Maybe the trip could start earlier to be able to see more of this, Moduredam is great even for a grown up.

Review by: Kwok Leong N	May 2011
Disappointed that I was left in the middle of Alsmeers flower auction by the tour bus for being 5 mins late and had to take a public bus all the way back to Amsterdam.

Review by: Curtis A	May 2011
Guide was really good. Very tough having to speak in four languages. That meant there was more background noise than just quietly enjoying the scenery.

Review by: Alicia A, United Kingdom	July 2010
It ws very good and the "guide" was excellent. Very informative and she was up to date with all her knowledge.

Review by: Anna T, United States of America	June 2010
we liked The Hague and rotterdam but the best part of the day was going to Madurodam. We loved it! It was so different from any place we'd ever been to before . definitely a must see for anyone who comes to The Netherlands.

Review by: Vesna R, Serbia and Montenegro	May 2010
The visit to the tulip garden has been the best experience my family and I have ever had, . First, the trip was short and comfortable. Despite the fact that it was the last day, there was still a lot to be seen. The garden is so beautiful that I would recommend to every person in the world to visit it at least once in a life time.

Review by: Fred S, United States of America	May 2010
A great way to see the region and not get run over by bicycles. This tour took us from Amsterdam to the Hague with a stop in Mauderdam.

Review by: Ray B, Canada	May 2010
Excellent tour guide....very knowledgable....very helpful...added information as we were travelling form one location to the other

Review by: Codrin-Dan N, Romania	February 2010
Professionally conducted tour - good way to understand in one day the essence of Netherlands.

Review by: Rudolph R, United States of America	January 2010
Great tour and not too exhuasting. We had 3 kids and they all enjoyed it. Fantastic tour guide.

Review by: Mary May Lee S, Singapore	November 2009
A very concise 1 day tour, most of the stuff that you need to know Netherlands in one day!

Review by: Paulo L, Australia	September 2009
