Sightseeing Tours in Holland

Taking a guided sightseeing tour is one of the many things to do in Holland, and it can be one of the best ways to explore a new country. If a guided tour is not your thing, a local can show you around the Netherlands and help you find the most popular attractions as well as the hidden gems that only locals know about. Some excursions will enable you to explore the whole country, while others concentrate on a single city or region. You can take sightseeing tours in the Netherlands by bus, boat, bike or on foot. Letting someone else do all the planning can also make for a more relaxing trip.
