Netherlands Family Tours
Our family tours in the Netherlands focus on experiences everyone can enjoy together. The Amsterdam-based multi-day tours give families room to explore canal cruises at their own pace, with time to visit spots that catch different family members' interest. Kids really love our Giethoorn day trips - there are no cars allowed and families get excited about navigating their own electric boats through the canals. Parents tell us their children light up at Madurodam's miniature city, where they can see Holland's famous buildings perfectly scaled down. The tours include stops at working windmills in Zaanse Schans and interactive cheese-making sessions in Volendam that keep both adults and children engaged throughout the day.

The arrangements is ok. Have few surprises which the local agency were able to refund quickly. The arrangement is flexible and accommodating for our last min change. Which is good.

• This was my first experience using travel agency for vacation and I couldn't be more satisfied. I highly recommend using Wise Yatra, they planned a wonderful trip that catered to all my personal needs. • First let's start with the location– Amsterdam is absolutely beautiful! My trip was only 4 days long but Wise Yatra made the most of it. They set up 3 tours within those days that gave the perfect opportunity to see a few of the key attractions within the Netherlands. One day was offered a walking tour through a popular local tour guide company. The guide was very knowledgeable of history and the downtown area, he was also very friendly. Another day offered the opportunity to see the Tulips, windmills and clogs through another local tour company. The company has coach bus accommodations to and from all attractions and meeting locations. The guide presented herself very professionally and also very knowledgeable of the history and attractions themselves. The last event offered through Wise Yatra was the canal cruise which offered an alternative perspective of the town via canal level. • Secondly, I could not ask for a better travel company to book through. Originally I booked this tour believing I would be joining a group. After realizing that was not the case, naturally I was apprehensive about moving forward with the trip. Associates at Wise Yatra reached out to me on a personal level to fine tune details… After expressing my concerns, the associates at Wise Yatra assured me they would be able to accommodate me as a solo traveler. My itinerary was made based on what I wanted, tours were upgraded from self guided to guided, my hotel was upgraded to a better location and I was able to stay in constant communication before, during and after my trip. They even made sure I made it home safe! Some upgrades came with a slight cost, some upgrades did not, however cost of upgrades were minimal and well worth it. The driver booked for airport transfer was local and very respectful. Also, all my questions about documents and information needed overseas were answered promptly and knowledgeable. All in all, Raj, Rachit, Nishchitha, and the rest of the team did a wonderful job. I look forward to using the Wise Yatra service again in the future.

Great journey on a beautifull ship with great crew. The excursions are guided with great tour guide. The tour, Delta works experience and Veere walking tour was a bit disappointing for 109EU. We saw the dam from far then went to a museum that tell the story if the flood of 1953. We were rush through the museum and Veere. No Delta work "experience". Nevertheless, we had a great trip.
