Amsterdam Tours over UK Bank Holiday weekends

Event and PP Tour Information

Our special weekend tours to Amsterdam are typically PP - big, well, organised parties. We only operate 4 tours a year - on the UK's three Bank holiday (long weekends) as well as over Easter. All our Amsterdam tours stay right in the heart of the city at the superb Vondel Park hostel. The long weekends have been organised with stacks to do for those who want to stick together, yet being so central, it is ideal if you want to do your own thing.

Down the street from the hostel is one of the three main shopping streets of Amsterdam: the Leidsestraat. Old buildings and shops that have been there for centuries sit comfortably next to DKNY and McDonalds.

The PP Amsterdam Experience

For 20 years we have been operating fun professionally organised massive festival tours - usually for thousands of passengers at a time. However our Amsterdam tours are quite different as we only take the one coach - and with a relatively small group, we simply love these weekends! They are special one-off type of tours that we operate only 4 times are year: over Easter and the 3 UK Bank Holiday long weekends. It is a chance for us to get really close to our passengers and it is this personalised service that makes all the difference.

Our Amsterdam series of tours are excellent value and best of all great fun. Departing on the Friday evening (Thursday for the Easter tour) it means you don't have to take time off work and we have you at our central accommodation in the city first thing on the Saturday - meaning you can make the most of the weekend.

Our tour is designed that you can join in with the group for the whole weekend with plenty of tours and activities - or you are free to do your own thing and explore the city on your own. There is no pressure either way.

Apart from the magnificent city that is the Dutch capital, the highlight of our Amsterdam tours is the accommodation, itself! We stay in the fantastic Vondel Park Hostel - one of Europe's finest.

It is also in an excellent central position, close to many of Amsterdam's famous museums, shops, cafes and the Leidseplein, the main night life area.

Our canal boat tour shortly after arriving in the Dutch capital is an excellent way to start off your Amsterdam experience. Later we explore the famous Red Light district and give you the opportunity to go to a live sex show. Usually the highlight of our Amsterdam tours is our bike riding excursion on the Sunday. We head out of the city along the canals and travel through some beautiful countryside. We stop at a windmill (naturally), at a pub (obviously) and then head back along the Amstel River into Amsterdam for a big final night out on the town.
