★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 33 reviews · 3 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $130

A small-group afternoon craft beer tour in Amsterdam, mixing award-winning Dutch beers, a historic jenever tasting, and a canal walk.

“Was a fun experience overall. My only suggestion is moving the initial meeting spot. Having the group meet in a large square filled with hundreds of people is confusing and there wasn't really any obvious way to identify the group. I had search for about 10 minutes to find the group and there were others who didn't show up and I suspect for that reason. How about moving the meeting place to the first bar on the list in the future? That way if people are late they can still find you and join in.”

1-hour Amsterdam craft beer tasting at ClinkNoord with 5 Dutch beers, cheese, sausage, and English guidance, near Amsterdam Central.

She also didn't do anything to encourage the attendees to chat and mingle. The location was also odd - the basement cafeteria of a youth hostel - not a bad space exactly but it certainly didn't make you want to linger. Also wasn't ideal that the hostel folks were…”
