A Choice of Two Weekend Breaks to Amsterdam from London
We have a choice of two value for money weekend 3 day breaks from London to Amsterdam. Both are very similar in content and include a visit to Bruge in Belgium as well as Amsterdam.
The first tour displayed is slightly more expensive but has a full sightseeing programme. The second is cheaper, but leaves you to explore Amsterdam independently without tours there included.
However, both tours only run once or twice a month, so which tour is available on your required dates is probably going to be as important a factor as the detailed content of each tour.

- Walking tour of Amsterdam highlights, including Red Light District Walking Tour
