Family Tours & Trips in Netherlands
When you go to the Netherlands with your family, you see layers. From visiting the Anne Frank House, to cruising through Amsterdam's canals on traditional boats. You'll see where the Dutch government meets at Binnenhof, which is the political heart of The Hague. Then you'll see how Delft's famous blue pottery is made, and finally you'll see Rotterdam's cutting-edge architecture and huge harbor. It's fun and learning on the go.

The itinerary was great and saw lots in 5 days. The hotel was great but a bit far from the daily starting point for the daily tours (central station) - 35 minute walk. The transfers at the start and end were good but definitely not the person who the tour texted us was picking us up (or the car for that matter). The daily tours were excellent and smoothly operated. It's a little confusing as it seems as though the tours have been contracted out beyond STM tours to the same company that does the hop on hop off tours. They were great though.
