Deborah_B, Apr 2026

Fantastic tour - exceptional in every

Fantastic tour - exceptional in every way! Our small group tour guide, Sharon, actually lives in the restored village of Zaanse Schans. Sharon provided not only interesting history, but colorful and entertaining commentary on life in Holland and in particular Zaanse Schans. Best tour ever in our many years of travel!

Giethoorn Guided DayTrip from Amsterdam

Christine_M, Apr 2026

Great day with Ibrahim

Lovely day! Ibrahim was our guide and he was excellent. Had a little stop at an apple orchard and sampled some fresh fruit. Plenty of free time in Giethoorn to eat lunch and walk around. We also had a little stop at a tulip field! Got back to the city at 7pm.

Giethoorn, Zaanse Schans Windmills Guided Day Trip from Amsterdam

ASHOK_V, Apr 2026

Excellent trip.

It's a great experience. We got the whole essence of the Netherlands with that trip. Our guide Jay was very knowledgeable and funny. His english is very good and clear. We stopped on the way back to see a tulip farm and did some fruit shopping in an organic farm shop which were bonus for us. Both Zaanse Schans and Geithoorn are two unique places and we are fortunate to visit both on our trip to Amsterdam. I highly recommend anyone visiting Amsterdam to take this day trip.

Amsterdam: Keukenhof Entry & Shuttle Bus with Flexible Return

Barbara_P, Apr 2026

A Wonderful day out

Absolutely fabulous gardens. If you love flowers this is the place for you. I stayed 5 hours and saw everything. Plenty of places to eat & drink or have a rest if needed. There is a fair bit of walking involved. If you wish to take the Whisperboat - a 45 minute boat trip through the flowering bulb fields surrounding Keukenhof, it's best to reserve online in advance, choosing your time as extremely busy & insufficient departures!

This is a great tour. ...

This is a great tour. Our tour director, Bea, spoke very good English and loud enough for all to hear. We had a wheelchair in our group and she made a special effort to make sure they were ok. She gave us the schedule of what our plans were for the day and followed the schedule and time frame so everyone understood. Our bus driver, Ness, was a good driver and I never worried about his driving.

Beautiful day in Amsterdam

Wonderful tour! Our guide Santiago and driver were great! They shared lots of details about Amsterdam’s history on topic of out tours which was awesome! Keukenhof was gorgeous-tulips in all shapes, sizes and colors and the Zaans tour; windmills /clogs and cheese was awesome. Make sure to wear your comfortable shoes!

Bruges Day Trip from Amsterdam

Bob_R, Mar 2026

A Perfect Day in Bruges

This tour could not have been better, both because of the subject of the tour (Bruges, Belgium) and because of the efforts of the tour guides. Bruges is a preserved medieval community, and it’s easy to imagine walking (or boating) around it 8-900 years ago. Blanca, our chaperone on the bus, was utterly charming and enthusiastic about going to Bruges, and effectively communicated her excitement to us. Our walking tour guide, Gosia, (sp?), conveyed both her excitement and her knowledge of Bruges’ fascinating history. The plan for the tour left an appropriate amount of free time for ambling about the city, before we had to return to Amsterdam. This tour just could not have been better.

Cynthia_A, Feb 2026

Good value & time well spent

Leidse, our guide was knowledgeable & an excellent driver. I liked all three stops- Rotterdam, Delft and The Hague, but wish we could have seen more about the world court. This excursion was a great way to see more of The Netherlands without renting a car. Good value & time well spent

From Amsterdam: Keukenhof Gardens Ticket and Transfer

Mary_J, May 2025

Such beautiful gardens!

Well organized trip! We watched a you tube video of the central train station which clearly showed us where to find the ticket office. There were several tour office representatives to help us and guide us to the correct waiting line for the bus. So efficient. The bus from the train station to the gardens was new, comfortable and clean. Frank, the bus driver, was professional and informative. The audio guide was enjoyable without being overdone. Our bus trip started at 9 and departed the gardens at 1:30 — more than enough time. The gardens themselves were spectacular. Highly recommend.
