A Deep Dive into the Private Dutch Day Trip

When you book this private tour, you’re setting out with a clear advantage: a tailored experience that respects your pace and interests. Starting from your hotel in Amsterdam, the journey usually kicks off around 9:00 AM, whisking you away in a comfortable 5-seater sedan or Mercedes-Benz minivan, depending on your group size.

The Itinerary and Its Highlights

First stop: Kinderdijk

A UNESCO World Heritage site, Kinderdijk’s windmills are one of the most iconic images of the Netherlands. Built in the 18th century, these windmills are not only picturesque but also offer a glimpse into Dutch ingenuity in water management. We loved the way our guide explained the history while giving us enough time to wander and take photos. Expect about an hour here—more if you’re a photography enthusiast.

Next: Rotterdam

This lively port city contrasts sharply with the peaceful windmill scene. The tour typically includes browsing the Arch Market, a bustling spot where locals and visitors mingle. You’ll also see the famous Cube Houses—urban architecture that’s both quirky and photogenic. The Old Port offers a charming blend of historic charm and modern development. Our reviewer noted, “The guide was very professional and patient,” especially as they helped us find the best spots to enjoy a quick meal or shop for souvenirs.

Then: The Hague

A city that combines politics, culture, and history. You might visit the Peace Palace—home to the International Court of Justice—or the Mauritshuis, which houses masterpieces by Vermeer and Rembrandt. Other options include the Grand Place or the historic Delft Royal Porcelain Factory. The guides can customize this part based on your interests, making sure you see what you want.
