Both venues highly worth seeing. Booking process as well as handling on the day is seamless. Coach was clean and comfortable.

Poor
The ticket was not recognised by half the people in Zaanse Schans! I had to argue to get into a number of exhibits.
The exhibition and the windmills themselves (once you got in) were very interesting.

Heineken Experience

The Heineken Experience is located in the original Heineken Brewery. Gerard Adriaan Heineken bought this building back in 1863 when it was the De Hooiberg brewery. He then turned it towards the production of his eponymous beer. The building remained a brewery all the way up to 1988. It was then that it became a museum (and hotspot for Heineken consumption). Located in the vibrant neighborhood of De Pijp, the Heineken Experience is ideally situated for a canal cruise, and some city exploration that takes you away from the hustle and bustle of Dam Square. Since 2001, it's been the world-famous Heineken Experience. After a year-long update and redesign in 2008, the Heineken Experience is more Heineken-y and Experience-y than ever before.

A’DAM LOOKOUT

A’DAM LOOKOUT sits atop A’DAM Toren, the newly refurbished 22-story 'vertical city', on the north side of the IJ. It offers an unimpeded 360-degree view of Amsterdam from almost 100 meters above ground, on the city’s only publicly accessible observation deck. The A’DAM Toren is one of the highlights of the transformation of the IJ riverbank.
