The small group tour leaves from Dam Square at 15:00 on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays and lasts about 2.5 hours. Would you rather have the guide to yourselves? Book Brews and T’Ales as a private tour.
On the private version your guide plans the route around you, any day of the week and at a time that suits you. It runs for about 3.5 hours, so there is more time for stories and stops, and we can collect you from your hotel or cruise port on request. It is ideal for friends, birthdays and small company outings, normally for up to eight guests, with larger groups on request. The tastings are the same: local craft beers, a Dutch spirit and snacks along the way.
