What are people saying about Amsterdam

Janese_B, Jun 2026

Highly recommend

Paola was a wonderful guide, hitting the highlights and some hidden gems on a pretty busy day. She was deeply knowledgeable and her obvious love of art and history were apparent. She gets top marks though because my 85-year-old mother is hard of hearing and wears hearing devices that prevent her from using the headsets the rest of us used. Paola conscientiously kept her close and made extra effort to speak so she could hear. My mom often gets frustrated and gives up in crowded, noisy situations but she had a delightful time and was so happy thanks to Paola

Giethoorn Day Tour w/ Boat Ride & Hotel Pickup

Anna_D, Jun 2026

Excellent communication

Giethoorn was lovely and we enjoyed our time there. Regarding this particular tour, that morning public transportation workers were striking, so there was a lot of traffic and our driver was a little late. They were EXCELLENT in communicating his arrival time, giving us more time to get ready in our room (which we really appreciated, because mornings are hard) instead of waiting in front of the hotel.

Amsterdam Red Light District and Coffee Shop Tour (TOP RATED)

Lee_H, Jun 2026

Coffeehouse Adventure

Very informative tour. Our guide escorted us through many streets and showed us the different architecture of the buildings. She also showed us a coffeshop and explained the history and requirements of a coffeshop. Lastly she walked us through the Red Light district and explained the history and requirements of the prostitution business in Amsterdam. This is a great tour to learn about coffeshops, the Red Light district and how to get around in this vibrant section of Amsterdam.

Amsterdam Canal Cruise with Local Guide and Small Group

Maria_R, Jun 2026

Best Boat Tour in Amsterdam!!🛥️❤️

Fantastic boat tour around Amsterdam. Captain Sebastiano and Gabby were really friendly, shared lots of knowledge and stories as we travelled, and made us laugh a lot. It was a small tour with only 8 of us which felt really personal and relaxed. Drinks were very reasonably priced and tasty (highly recommend the aperol spritz!). Definitely book this tour over one of the bigger boat ones. (Also very glad to have an open boat rather than enclosed in this hot weather!). Thank you so much for such a brilliant tour 😊☀️

Giethoorn Guided DayTrip from Amsterdam

Daniel_J, Jun 2026

Relaxing day in Giethoorn

There is a 1 1/2 hour bus ride to Giethoorn. It gives a nice countryside view and experience. You get to see the longest dike, some of the many wind turbines, lots of fields where they grow vegetables, fruits and flowers. We stopped at a local farmer’s market where we ate samples of the products, which were so good we bought several items. They were bottling cherry jam that day and it was so good we bought a large jar to take home! Giethoorn is a small village with many canals and you go on a one hour boat ride. You have about two hours to yourselves to eat lunch (not included), and walk around the village. We saw a stork in their nest while we were there! Our driver was named Fatti (not sure of the spelling), but he was very good. Our tour guide was Jay. Jay was very humerous and told us lots of information about the country and Giethoorn. He also had lots of “dad jokes”. Great way to spend a relaxing day after the hustle and bustle of the city - plus very few bikes to avoid! We enjoyed it very much.

Amsterdam: Keukenhof, Zaanse Schans Windmills, Cheese Guided Tour

Janet_M, May 2026

Keukenhoff and Zaase Schwann experience

The gardens at keukenhoff are amazing. This trip was better than I expected. We were fortunate enough to still get to see gardens. I think it was going to be closing for season middle of May. Absolutely breathtaking! Enjoyed Zaase Schwann walking around wind mills and cheese samples, demonstration of wooden shoes was great, family operation for many generations. Highly recommend this tour!

You think you know but you have know idea! Great fun tour :)

Just love this tour ! Simone gave us many fun and interesting facts about the red light district and surrounding areas we otherwise would not have known. It was evenly paced and we never felt rushed. It was a small group and kept us all engaged and Simone just truly made us appreciate Amsterdams vibe and energy. Thank you !!

Amsterdam Small Group Bike Tour

Rebecca_W, Apr 2026

Great activity for a layover!

Our guide was very knowledgeable and kind. He had a bigger group to deal with amidst all of the traffic and such, and he handled it efficiently and still with kindness and good humor. 🙂 You will definitely want to make sure everyone is comfortable on a bike! Biking in Amsterdam was probably the coolest way to see it in this short amount of time we had on a layover come up but it did feel like being a part of bike rush hour! The locals bike fest and you are right amongst the other cars and people walking. What an amazing tour and I'm so grateful that we did it! It was our first time navigating our family in Amsterdam and it was easy to find from the station. Staff were all friendly and helpful and the bikes worked great!

Jennie_D, Mar 2026

Loved this tour! Robin...

Loved this tour! Robin was a wonderful tour guide. He was so knowledge about the city and very engaging. I'd highly recommend this tour. We brought our two high school boys and they boys enjoyed it as well. We did this as soon as we got to Amsterdam and it was worth it to get an overview of the city.

Zaanse Schans Windmills, Cheese and Volendam Tour from Amsterdam

Justin_W, Oct 2025

A lovely experience of Holland outside of the usual Amsterdam

Rick was one of the best tour guides I've experienced in a long while. He was informative, and knowledgeable, as well as giving the group an insight into the Dutch life and its peoples. While a long experience, we saw a lot, from cheese making and tasting, to clog making, a seaside village and all those windmills. Our group thoroughly enjoyed the day, and would highly recommended it.

Grand Dutch Food & History Tour of Amsterdam

Christie_M, Oct 2025

Best food tour option

Great experience! Not your typical "fries/waffle tour." Guide was very interesting and accommodating. Places visited provided delicious samplings from the rich history of Amsterdam/Netherlands. Tour takes your to interesting places around the city. The food/drink options are worth the extra money. Highly Recommend this Tour.
