Most visitors reach the Zaanse Schans by tour bus. You'll arrive the way everything once arrived here: over the water. The Verbetering is an original 1916 Dutch cargo barge and certified museum ship, one of the last historic ships still allowed to moor in Amsterdam. This day retraces her own freight route, sailed by the family that owns her: out across the IJ from minutes beyond Central Station, through the locks and onto the river Zaan, until the windmills rise ahead of the bow. Ashore you have two full hours, the complete Zaanse Schans ticket included: two working windmills, the Zaans Museum and Verkade Experience, the World of Windmills, the Weavers' House, the Zaan Time Museum and a clog-making workshop. Nothing to book, nothing to queue for. Home goes the long way, across the polder and down a centuries-old tow canal, never more than 12 guests aboard and always a dry seat. Years from now you'll still tell people about the day you sailed a real cargo ship to the windmills!

Bruges Day Trip from Amsterdam

Debra_g, Aug 2026

Day trip to Bruges

I picked up the tour in Amsterdam going to Bruges. Anna Marie was our guide and Ernest was the driver. They were on time. The bus was very clean. They were very personable and tried to help anyway they could. Once we got to Bruges, we were divided into smaller groups, and our guide was Pascal. Who was an excellent storyteller and told us all about Bruges. It was a long drive, but totally worth it. I highly recommend the combination it made the day a memorable day trip.

Giethoorn, Zaanse Schans Windmills Guided Day Trip from Amsterdam

Dean_C, Aug 2026

Well-organized Day Trip

Great way to spend a day and get out to see more of the Netherlands. While Zaandam was very crowded with tour busses after we finished our tour, it was nice that we were one of the first busses there to see the village while it was still pretty quiet. Giethoorn was nice, but seemed overrun by tourists. Glad we had some free time to explore it some. Ibrahim was a fantastic guide and Kamal (?) was a skilled driver. Great day!

Amazing Zaans Schans and Gorgeous Geithorn

Our Tour operator was Eric. It was a wonderful experience since this was a semi private tour with 8 people [group of 6 girlfriends and another couple]. Great opportunity to visit Zane Schans and Giethorn bypassing the tons of tour buses. Eric was very knowledgeable and was able to get us in each tour ahead of the crowds. The skies were a bit overcast and we were all provided umbrellas. We had the private cheese demonstration which was very informative and it was fun being to do the cheese tasting as well. Eric gave us enough time to enjoy each tour as well as shop and enjoy our lunch at Geithorn. He went above and beyond getting us a duffy boat to cruise around the canals and the lake in Geithorn. Our overall tour with Eric was excellent and we thoroughly recommend this experience.

Absolutely Amsterdam - the Essential Introductory Walking Tour

Mike_J, Jul 2026

Go with Janos!

If you have a chance, take the tour with Janos. My partner and I start every trip to a new city with a walking tour, so we have been on a lot of them. Janos was one of the two best we have ever experienced. It was a perfect introduction to Amsterdam from a guide who clearly knows and loves the city. Janos us a natural teacher and storyteller. We came away from the tour with an understanding of the city's history and culture, along with a few prized restaurant recommendations. He is also a very charming person who enjoys meeting new people. You can't fake that.

Giethoorn Guided DayTrip from Amsterdam

Karolina_V, Jul 2026

Great tour, informative and casual!

Great tour with a quick stop on the way to Giethoorn to try local produce and chance to shop to fair prices. Our guide Jay was funny and very knowledgeable and it’s a great way to learn about the Netherlands and its history. Our driver Tom drove us safely and started up the aircon way ahead when we were done in Giethoorn so the bus was nice and cool after a few hot hours in the village. The captain of the boat was also very informative and learned us a lot about the village. We also appreciated a stop at the ice cream boat! Thanks for a great experience!

The tour by Alex was a wonderful way to experience more of The Netherlands. With each town we visited, Alex provided context and historic details as we walked through each town’s highlights. Rotterdam, Delft and The Hague each have unique, fascinating qualities which Alex brought to life for us. I enjoy small group tours and this one didn’t disappoint.

Getaway for a day to villages

Our tour leader Leidse was excellent. He provided great communication before the trip by confirming pick up location and time via text. Along the drive he shared so much information about the country and sights. At each stop he gave us great tours and shared suggestions on where to eat and shop and what to see when we had time on our own. We really enjoyed the villages and boat ride. Fun tour to get out of Amsterdam for a day and see the country.

We had a fantastic time on our tour! Our guide Sharon was very knowledgeable and friendly and we learned a lot about Dutch culture. It was pretty crowded during our visit so we were very glad to have a guide to take us around. Great tour for kids as well!

If you want a one-day trip to the three major city centers in the Netherlands outside of Amsterdam, this is your trip.

He provided a great balance of information and humor at a perfect pace.

Amsterdam: Keukenhof Entry & Shuttle Bus with Flexible Return

lauren_l, Jun 2026

A wonderful day trip from Amsterdam

The tour agency was located conveniently near the train station so it was easy to get to. The round trip bus ride made the keukenhoff an easy day trip from the Amsterdam city center. It was early in the season to see the flowers, but there was still a lot bloomed and we had a wonderful time!
