We were going to try the Van Gogh museum but foolishly tried to go late morning which was pointless ! As such we decided to go into House of Bols, which is directly opposite. I have used Bols on numerous occasions but never know they hailed from Amsterdam. The tour costs Euro 12.50 per person but includes one cocktail and... More

The House of Bols is a museum experience tracing the history of alcoholic beverages from the days of Dutch trading through the present, featuring in particular the history of jenever, a juniper flavored drink converted by the English into what we call gin. Also it features the illustrations of the various cordials made or marketed by Bols, and stations to... More

Very well thought out and a great choice of coctails to end the fun! More

Had no plans to visit but the Van Gough museum had queues down the street and around the corner. The bols museum is just opposite so being curious we headed over - beats standing in a queue in the rain. Great tour giving history of Bols and good examples of how all the senses can be involved in 'taste' plus... More

The staff were very friendly and when we went to... More

This place is burdened with technology that doesn't quite qork (like my keyboard) but the finish is super--blonde handsome men and blonde knockout women at the bar and pouring plentifully. Why not dispense with the faux science of drink and let they do their thing from the git go? More

We visited the House of Bols on the last day of our visit to Amsterdam and thoroughly enjoyed it! There's opportunities to find out about the history of the company as well as learning about the influences sight and smell have on your taste buds. You can guess the flavour of the liqueur from the smell and taste your favourites... More

I guess for the price, the cocktails and shot you get at the end make it worthwhile. However, I found the actual experience a bit boring. The interactive parts were good, and I would have liked more of that. We enjoyed ourselves, just not sure I'd recommend it. Heineken experience was better. More

great value for money! free cocktail and 2 free shots. 12 euro's per adult and a tour through the history of Bols. More
