Rotterdam: Kinderdijk UNESCO World Heritage Entry Ticket

1.Kinderdijk UNESCO World Heritage Entry Ticket

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 1,477 reviews · 1 day · from $25Our pick

Explore Kinderdijk’s 19 historic windmills with museum access, a polder boat ride, pumping station, and audio guide near Rotterdam.

“This is a self guided tour! Once you have bought a ticket, make your way there and start walking! Or you can catch the charming little boat that takes you to the small distance stop off points where you can actually go into two of the 19 operating windmills - the oldest from 1635 I think...do get chatting to your boat hosts and the fellows running the windmills and do watch the vidoes on the boats (only 9 minutes)”

Ride Rotterdam’s Waterbus to Kinderdijk or Dordrecht for a flexible day on the water, with free bike transport and scenic South Holland views.

“The Waterbus to Kinderdijk Windmills was extremely good value for money and easy to locate. I would highly recommend this to anyone with some free time in Rotterdam. The only down side is the return waterbus ran every hour, so a more frequent schedule would have been useful.”

Review of the private Kinderdijk Bike Tour from Rotterdam, with windmills, waterbus travel, local pastry, cheese, and practical booking tips.

“Marco was great! We were staying in Delft and had to take the train to Rotterdam. He picked us up- took the tram and got us to the water taxi. The tour itself was very peaceful. We were not rushed. Bike path is fairly flat so it’s not a difficult ride for children or older adults. Great Experience.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 21 reviews · 8 to 9 hours (approx.) · from $300

Visit Kinderdijk’s 19 windmills, cruise its waterways, and explore Delft pottery on an intimate, guide-led day trip from Amsterdam.

“This was an excellent small group tour. We were fortunate to have good weather, so got to enjoy a boat ride up and down the canal in beautiful sunshine. It was great to see multiple windmills working, see the inside of a windmill, and see the canal system in action, raising water between progressive ditches. Delft was a lovely second location, and it was great seeing the pottery factory in action. The downside was traffic. Our guide was late arriving due to traffic, and also took an extra 45 minutes at the end of the day to drop us off due to traffic. (By contrast, our taxi drivers to and…”

Cycle from Rotterdam to UNESCO-listed Kinderdijk with a private guide, waterbus ride, windmills, local cheese, coffee, and Dutch ice cream.

“One of the best tours I’ve taken in more than 12 countries. Marco under promised and over delivered which is so rare in a commercially booked App. Our adventure began with a phone call 48 hours prior to inquire if we would like to adjust accordingly to the weather. Unfortunately, it was not possible, so upon our meeting he provided us with appropriate rain attire, warm gloves and even attempted to fabricate booties for us! Every detail was measured with precision and throughout the tour Marco pivoted to customize our experience! Truly the most gracious host with a passion for his community and allowing us to seamlessly emerge ourselves into…”

9.Holland Keukenhof & Kinderdijk Guided Day Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 15 reviews · from $192

Travel from Brussels to Kinderdijk and Keukenhof for windmills, canals, tulips, guided visits, and Dutch water history in one long day.

“Thoroughly enjoyed the trip to Kekeunhof and Zaanse Schans. The gardens were in full bloom and it was a day with brilliant sunshine. Zaanse Schans was nice, touristic yes but serves the purpose of giving an introduction to windmills and cheese making. Our guide David was superb, very energetic and passionate about his work. Must add that the description by him was in two languages English and Spanish, probably there is a significant proportion of Spanish speakers who take the tour. The tour does involve significant travel time due to the distances involved, six hours plus in a twelve hour schedule.Read more”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 8 reviews · 7 to 8 hours (approx.) · from $397

Review of the private Kinderdijk and South Holland tour from Amsterdam, with Delft, Gouda, Leiden, The Hague, or Rotterdam.

“We travelled to Leiden, the Kinderdijk Windmills, toured a small high-quality cheese factory, and explored the Muiderslot Castle. Our guide drove us in his sedan. He was a very good driver, was knowledgeable regarding the destinations of the tour and the Netherlands generally, and otherwise strove to make the tour informative and enjoyable. For example, we were unable to see the interior of any windmill at Kinderdijk, due to inadequate staffing by the volunteer workers there, that day. After we saw what we could from the outdoors, our guide volunteered to add Muiderslot Castle to the itinerary, at no extra charge. The tour of Muiderslot was entertaining, and rounded out…”
