We had a fantastic time on during our trip! Two very different experiences, both fun!
Unexpectedly Fun Experience at the Heineken Museum The Heineken Museum turned out to be a lot more fun than I expected! The tour was engaging and covered everything from the history of the brand to how the beer is made. The guides were great—they even ran small quizzes at the end and handed out little prizes for correct answers, which added a fun, personal touch. The best part, though, was enjoying a couple of beers at the bar at the end of the tour. Many people prefer not to drink their beers and end up offering their coins, so you can easily score a couple of extra beers 😂
