Full day tour to Texel - Friesian Islands - from Amsterdam
Description
Experience a full day at the beautiful Friesian island of Texel and its surrounding UNESCO World Heritage site Waddensea! On this family friendly full day island tour we will drive up to the north and take the ferry to Texel to explore its National Parks, historic villages and beaches. The Waddensea is famous for its distinctive difference between high and low tide, the bird migration and its beautiful nature. If the tide and weather provides, we will include a short hiking excursion on the mudflats, the actual bottom of the Waddensea. In one of the historic villages we will stop for lunch (not included). We will pick you up in Amsterdam in the morning and will bring you back late afternoon. A full day of island experience at one of Holland’s most beautiful islands!

The tour was great. The first stop was a German Bunker from World War Two. I had never seen a bunker up close. The boat ride to see the seals was the highlight of the tour. I enjoyed watching the seals even the lazy ones. I had booked a tour last year with Dutch Tours. When I returned to Amsterdam, I booked another tour.
Start of the service in Amsterdam, by Sarah, then we went from surprise to surprise Everything was wonderful, top-notch organization. Thank you to Dutch Tours for these wonderful memories.
Highly recommend Dutch tours!! They were great from booking all way up to the tour its self. So helpful with any and all questions kind and fun to hang out with and so prepared!! We did a full day tour to Texel island we’re I also got to enjoy an incredible horse back riding experience. So knowledgeable and allowed us to pick what we wanted to see. Snacks drinks and even extra clothes if needed there was some rain and I was able to borrow water proof cover pants for my trail ride! Even helped us pay our parking and figure that out, I can’t recommend them enough! Book through their website dutchtours.com!!
So good to hear from you and thank you for all the praise! We are very glad that you appreciated the tour and hope you enjoyed the rest of your vacation here. Come ride with us in the Veluwe Forest next time :-) Kind Regards, Sarah, Dutch Tours
We really enjoyed spending the day with Sarah and her daughter, Elizabeth. We added the horseback riding option to our tour and it was fantastic. Nothing like riding through the woods! Sarah took us through several small villages, the beach and an impromptu bird watching stop on our way back to the ferry. In all, a great day away from the city.
What a lovely day it was! So glad we got to meet you and your daughter and I am so happy that you enjoyed the riding as well. Enjoy all of your travels! All the best, Sarah ~ Dutch Tours
Texel love at first sight and Sarah just fantastic! Highly recommended tour! THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING, I hope to come back soon❤️
What a great day it was! Coffee @ Ciambella in Bologna is next on my list :-) So glad you joined us on this tour to Texel island, take care! Sarah ~ Dutch Tours
Well-structured hike, with the right rhythms. Sarah, our guide who also speaks French, worked to make us see everything possible and meet the needs of the various members of the group. Bravo!
Merci à vous! C'était une belle journée pour tous :-) Bon retour à Lugano! Sarah ~ Dutch Tours
Eva (and Sarah) with Dutch Tours are the perfect guides for tour skeptics. Eva is good humored, knowledgeable, clearly loves the place(s) and simply makes things easy for those without transportation who want to get a little less accessible area. She had a few favorite spots, but capacity to customize with our small group. Thoroughly enjoyed the day with my daughter and a few other travelers.
Happy to hear that you enjoyed and thank you for the huge compliments. It was indeed a lovely day! Hope to see you both again! Best regards, Eva - Dutch Tours
The dunes, the sandy beaches, the lighthouse, walking on the bottom of the sea during low tide - what an amazing experience!
Thank you so much for your lovely and entertaining company on a perect day Tatyana!! It was the best day for going to Texel and we absolutely maximized it! Looking forward to see you on another tour soon :) All the best, also to your family! Eva - Dutch Tours
We had an amazing day with Eva riding through the countryside as we moved to Texel Island. The drive was long but full of beauty and informational as we learned about dikes and the water systems and much more. The ferry ride over to the island is streamlined and smooth and once on the island we visited several of the small towns and explored their lovely architecture. The beaches are ready for visitors when the weather warms up. We also went on a boat trip to a sandbar where there were many seals sunning. Then a ride back to the ferry and Amsterdam after a full day of exploring. Dutch tours are fabulous and I highly recommend using them. Knowledgable and attentive with tours that are different than the norm. And they'll make a private tour if there is something special you want to do.
Thank you so much for your compliments and kind review Julie! We indeed covered a lot in a day and I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed it so much. See you soon for new adventures I hope! All the best to you both! Best regards, Eva - Dutch Tours
Eva was an amazing guide who also made transportation and the day's itinerary simple and stress-free. We had a really fun day and fantastic experience. Would definitely recommend!
Thank you so much for a fun day Jen and Debbie! You sure had the full experience with seals, horses and tulips! Hope to see you back one day for new adventures :) All the best to you both! Eva - Dutch Tours
