The Dutch countryside sits close to Amsterdam, but reaching Zaanse Schans, Volendam, and the cheese farms between them by public transport eats up an entire day and leaves little room for sightseeing.

What are people saying about Amsterdam

Steve_D, Sep 2026

Our group had an...

Our group had an incredible canal tour with our skipper, Deep. He was an awesome guide-friendly, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable about Amsterdam. He taught us so much about the city, from its history and culture to its laws and everyday life, and was happy to answer every question we threw at him. The whole experience felt relaxed, personal, and genuinely fun. Deep gave us a much better understanding of Amsterdam and helped shape the rest of our time in the city. It was easily a 10/10 experience for everyone in our group. We would absolutely book another tour when we return, especially if we could have Deep as our skipper again! And the best part was actually the music, made the vibe incredible.

Lovely canal ride

Boat was beautifully restored wooden boat that could go to canals that the larger boats couldn’t. Mr Sebi was very professional with his knowledge of Amsterdam, good snacks, and choices of beverages and upscale liquor. Would highly recommend and we liked the small group of 10.

Countryside Bike Tour from Amsterdam: Cheese, Clogs & a Windmill

Marlis_R, Aug 2026

Beautiful city escape

Fabulous! Got to experience a beautiful countryside culture of small towns and churches, farmland and farm animals, fresh country air and a beautiful landscape! Our tour guide “Rinse” was so knowledgeable of everything and taught us some interesting history! He was full of great stories and even a dad joke! The wooden shoe and cheese stop was amazing too! I’d recommend this tour to anyone!

My husband and I joined the 5 hour Rijk and Van Gogh museums with Monique as our guide. It was a long time to be on our feet and Monique was constantly checking to see if we were okay. She was extremely informative and enthusiastic and at no time in the 5 hours did her enthusiasm wane. She truly made the tour most memorable

Windmills and Giethoorn Tour

Reinier was our guide on this wonderful tour. He was so knowledgeable and really held our interest with the stories and information he shared. The tour had the perfect amount of walking and hearing info and free time to explore on our own. I did not even know that the village of Giethoorn existed and our boat ride and exploration of the village was all of our favorite part.

Marcia_B, Aug 2026

Wowed Tourist!

Having a local guide gives you an insight into this wonderful city! Robin was very witty and funny describing many of the qualities that make Amsterdam so unique. He took us to a couple of his favorite secret places. They were great! Doing this tour is a must to get an insight into this amazing city!

Dean_C, Aug 2026

Highly recommend!

Aarre was an outstanding guide! His personal stories and insights added a lot to what would have been a standard script. The small size of the group was manageable and it was easy to stay together in the crowded streets. Learned a lot about the past, present, and future of the Red Light District!

Zaanse Schans, Edam, Volendam and Marken Tour

Roxana_H, Jul 2026

Exceptional Tour

This tour was fantastic from start to finish. The moment our bus pulled away, we knew we were in good hands — the ride was comfortable, spacious, and very accommodating. As we traveled, our guide shared fascinating details about the dams and landscapes we passed, making the journey itself part of the experience. We made several stops, each one absolutely worth it. The cheese factory was a highlight, especially the tasting room — delicious and fun. The windmills were breathtaking, truly one of the most beautiful sights you’ll ever see. Along the way, there were plenty of gift shops and food options, so you’re never without something to explore. A quick tip: wear comfortable shoes. You’ll walk quite a bit, but honestly, you’ll be so captivated by the scenery that you won’t even notice. We traveled as a family of four, ages ranging from 20 to 80, and the tour was wonderfully accommodating for everyone. I want to give a special thanks to our tour guide for making the day memorable, informative, and seamless.

Amsterdam Highlights Bike or E-Bike Tour

Great Bike Tour of Amsterdam

We had a great tour of Amsterdam. It was literally one of the hottest days on record in Amsterdam and our guide did everything he could to find us shady spots to stop in to give us a little local flavor about the neighborhoods. It was a nice path that exposed us to all the right spots. Thoroughly enjoyed the tour.

Bridgett_B, Jun 2026

Great intro to Amsterdam

I did this tour on my first day in Amsterdam and it was a great way to get my bearings in the city and get ideas of areas I wanted to come back to. It was a small group of 4 of us and our guide was very welcoming. I appreciated being taken to small local shops that didn't feel touristy. Highly recommend

Private Tour: Amsterdam City Walking Tour and Canal Cruise

Tommy_O, Mar 2026

Our tour with Eveline...

Our tour with Eveline went well. She picked us up at our hotel and walked us through central Amsterdam. We could have taken better advantage of the private tour by making a list of sites we wanted to see, but she was still able to take us to the highlights even without such a list and get us to the canal tour at the end of the tour on time.

Amsterdam Highlights Walking Tour: Small Group Experience

kevin_k, Oct 2025

Reliable tour company

We signed up for this tour after the similar tour we had tickets for with Snurk Tours was canceled due to “not filling up”. As it turned out, we were the only 2 people on this tour and this company still gave us a 2.5+ hour tour! We appreciate this tour company (WOW) going over and above to keep their commitment. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and as a former professor he was very good at explaining Amsterdam’s history and culture. This was our first day in Amsterdam and both of us came away from the tour feeling like we have a very good understanding of Amsterdam.
