Tours to Amsterdam

Amsterdam is a sought-after destination for travelers of all categories. It's an easy and relaxed blend of beautiful nature, cultural life and the free-spirited mores of youth subcultures.

But there's plenty to do in Amsterdam not only for the golden youth, but also for sedate travelers looking for intellectual entertainment.

The budget of your vacation depends on what kind of transportation you choose. The price of a tour with accommodation and airfare starts from 400 EUR for five days. If you're looking for a cheaper transfer, you may prefer to travel by bus.

The cost of the trip also depends on what kind of accommodation you prefer, whether you'll be going on excursions and what restaurants you plan to eat in. The most inexpensive way to see what the city is known for is to stroll the streets of the old town.

The reason why tourists are buying cheap tours is because Amsterdam has legalized drugs. Any visitor can try the best pastries containing marijuana or other illegal herbs in local coffee shops.

An avid flower grower also books a trip here. Just look at the famous Tulip Valley! And the various flower stores and exchanges are just too numerous to count.

Interesting places in Amsterdam

And for those seeking vibrant nightlife, the city offers a diverse range of entertainment options to enjoy.
