    One of the coolest museums in Amsterdam... After the tour you can stay in the bar drinking 2 free beers and then you take the free guided canal tour. Indeed it's a great Heineken Experience!

    Skip the line by buying your ticket at one of the ticket booths around Amsterdam. Once inside, go straight to the higher floors where the interesting things are. Highly interactive and fun.

    Besides historical and technological tour, there are a lot of different activities. Like watching movies, beer POV video, playing football, singing at karaoke, self-branding and finally beer tasting.

    A great museum experience for marketers and advertising professionals. You'll see the footsteps of an average beer brand becoming a marketing success and enjoy a few pints with many interactive games.

    It was an enjoyable way to spend a couple hours in amsterdam, the building was beautiful and well organized and the staff was great. However , be prepared for cheesiness and a bit of a money grab.

    We had such a good time at the Heineken Museum! It's very informative but interactive at the same time. Make sure to purchase the package that includes the boat ride to The Lookout. The views are 😱😍

    The self-guided “tour” is a marketing extravaganza, ending with a 10 min immersive ad explaining why your entire life should revolve around Heineken. At least there’s a couple of 1/2 pints at the end!

    It was entertaining experience. They are giving totally 3 beers include in the enterance price and nice concept with the bar at downstairs 👍🏻 You can create beer bottle for you or gift for someone.

    It is worth taking the 2,5 hour VIP tour if you appreciate a beer tasting and learning about the history of one of the world’s most famous brewers. Make sure you book online to avoid the long queues.

    Heineken history, ingredients of beer, two free glasses of beer, funny stuff to do along the way and to finish a free gift. Worth the price for me.

    One of the recommended tours in Amsterdam! They walk you through the full process of brewing and end the tour on a high note with a glass of chilled Heineken!

    The "touristy" thing to do, but definitely not a trap. It's a self guided tour. Had so much fun, great value, plenty of beers to drink and even a glass to take home.

    The best brewery of all! I really enjoyed the tour. The ticket includes 2.5 beers, a ride in the cruise and a souvenir! Also you can take free pictures (heineken labeled) and send it via email

    Good tour and worth it for the free beer. One sample mid tour and two at the end. If you can score extra bracelet tokens they will let you have extra free beer. Definitely book in advance online.

    A quick tour to Heineken old factory where you can see a lot of machine an empty kegs, at the end there is a bar. You should go to rood garden In summer, one of the best views

    Really good experience. Decently priced with beer and a beer glass included in the price. Plenty of interactive stations to pass the time as well as some Heineken artefacts!

    The staff were attentive and I never expect it to be fun!!! My husband and I took so many picture and playing games. Although the souvenirs were expensive, we bought some back home. Love it!!

    A must visit. Book tickets online instead of buying onsite. Being bottled is quite good. EUR 18 online price. Reach via Tram #1 get down at Vijakgracht.

    It's super neat getting to see the history of the company. Free beers with your purchase ain't bad either. Definitely worth the price of admission

    I always remained distant since it's a very touristic activity over the years; but I was wrong. If you're there as a group, you will definitely enjoy the experience at Heineken. So cheerful ;)

    Admission is 18€ (16€ when booked online) and worth every penny. You get to see the brewing process, see the horses, go on a cute ride, and get complimentary beer among other things. Very fun!

    Touristic place, but do you live in Amsterdam? Cool tour to learn more about beer, Its production and drink more than what you will be told! Avoid mornings and buy your visit online to avoid lines.

    It is pretty cool to see how the beer is made and the history of the brand. You can get 3 regulars/1 regular + 1 extra cold beer (I quite like the extra cold myself). Engraved glasses in souvenir sec.

    A must-see for those visiting Amsterdam! One gets at least 2 free beers from this tour as well as Heineken merchandise from their store inside the factory.

    You have to take the VIP tour! It takes about 2-3 hours, you get a beer tasting and a bottle with your name on it :)))

    Rmb to try the "pull a pint of beer" game, not only you won't lose your beer (after using the 2 buttons on your bracelet to enter this game), you'll get a certificate for playing it!

    Cool experience with some original ways to teach how (Heineken) beer is made. Plus you get 3 beers (1 at the middle of the experience, 2 in the end) so keep that in mind when choosing an hour to visit

    Definitely cheesy, but also definitely worth it. Staff is great. Ending at the rooftop bar is also excellent.

    Make sure while purchasing your entry ticket you tell the ticketing staff that its your birthday (even if it ain’t) and drink bottomless beer throughout the whole experience 😅

    This is a fun exhibit, great to see the old copper brewing equipment. I felt like the last section was just marketing though, felt a bit of a hard sell!

    Get the engraved glass at the souvenir shop rather than bottle your own Heineken (because they just print your words on a sticker and stick it on a bottle of beer), it's more worth it.

    Fun brew tour, really well done. Plus you get 2.5 beers, so that alone is more than worth the €18 entrance fee.

    The Heineken Brewery is located in the centre of Amsterdam but it is NOT ‘a regular museum’, although you will learn a lot about the whole process of brewing beer while visiting.

    Worth the visit and if you're a drinker, stay on for free flow of beers. For €18 think quite worth lol😁👍🏻

    It is definitely a hip and modern museum. But you are always in a hurry. Tons of Tourists are rushed trough all shows, no time to chill and explore it your own way

    At the beginning you are thinking that is a standard museum just to build for promoting Heineken and its products but when you get inside you will understand that it is a really rollicking place.

    Really great experience, worth the money you pay for it. You'll literally touch the history of Heineken, and also learn how to drink beer and brew it in right way.

    Nice&fun museum. I didn't expect much before the tour but it worths. Download the official app which gives you a free audio tour before you start.
