Lise was a great guide!...

Lise was a great guide! She helped us get to know Holland a bit better. The place was packed on a Sunday morning but she shepherded us all around and helped us not get caught in so much human traffic! Not much down time to explore but if you’re quick in now shops you’ll be able to see some more things.

Absolutely Amsterdam - the Essential Introductory Walking Tour

Francesco_L, Mar 2026

Amazing experience, highly recommended!

I had the chance to explore Amsterdam with Sebastian, and it exceeded all expectations. He didn’t just give a standard tour, every explanation was engaging, detailed, and full of fascinating insights that made the city come alive. What I appreciated most was how he blended history and culture with personal stories and practical tips about everyday life in Amsterdam. It made the whole experience feel authentic, not just informative. You can really feel his passion for what he does, and it’s contagious. Thanks to him, I discovered hidden spots and interesting details I would have completely missed on my own. If you’re visiting Amsterdam, do yourself a favor and book a tour with Sebastian, it’s absolutely worth it!

Amsterdam: Day trip to Tulip Farm, Keukenhof + Windmill Cruise

Nancy_W, Mar 2026

March too early for tulips

Keukenhof is incredibly beautiful and we love the windmill cruise too, but our March 26 visit came just too early for the iconic tulip fields. Instead, we wandered through daffodil fields in the tulip farm. Our driver tried to hunt down blooming tulip fields in the surrounding area, but most were still budding. Visit in mid-April if you want to see the famous tulip fields in full bloom.

Zaanse Schans, Edam, Volendam and Marken Tour

Jaelen_S, Mar 2026

Great tour!

I loved this tour that visited several countryside areas around Amsterdam. Our guide was fantastic and she told great stories. Her name was Carly, well thats how its spelled in English but who knows how it was really spelled. She was a great guide and she told us things about how Dutch people think. I loved her story about another Dutch person saying her town Almere has no soul. That sort of insight is something you can only get from a local. I loved the group size was only about 20 people, but thats just the benefit of traveling in shoulder season before the high season starts. My favorite part of this tour was Volendam, I really loved it there. I definitely recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see a different side to the Netherlands.

The tour was wonderful. Rachid picked us up at exactly the time and site that was expected. He was friendly and organized. He guided us around at Zaanse Schans and Giethorn, but also provided us with sufficient time to explore on our own. Rachid gave us a bonus by dropping us off at our hotel. We weren’t expecting that, but was much appreciated.

The tulip farm visit and Kuekenhof gardens are breathtaking. Be mindful that you have to plan to visit this during spring season. Highly recommend.

Must see if you're in Amsterdam in April or May

Very popular - lots of people - but has great photo opportunities. We didn't see much fields of tulips though since this was a garden tour. The gift shop doesn't have much in the souvenir section. The windmills tour was also busy but there was ample photo opportunities. The souvenir shops were were well stocked.

From Amsterdam: Keukenhof Gardens & Windmill Cruise Tour

Patti_O, May 2025

A winning combination … gardens + windmills!

Excellent tour … Keukenhof Gardens still in full bloom and absolutely beautiful and the leisurely canal cruise viewing the windmills and Dutch countryside made for a very enjoyable day. Check-in was simple and well-organized and everything ran exactly on time. Our bus was clean and comfortable and our first stop was for the canal cruise. The boat captain was very friendly and full of information about the windmills and the history of the land. After the one hour cruise, the bus continued onto the gardens where we had as much time as we wanted to wander the garden paths and enjoy the flowers. Return buses, which ran frequently, were very easy to find for the trip from the gardens back to Amsterdam.
