What are people saying about Amsterdam

Ann_M, Jun 2026

Full Day Tour...Well Worth it!

Wonderful full day tour! Andy is a very knowledgeable, informative and amiable guide. He bestowed much historical and human interest info about The Netherlands. Good pacing and stops to see points of interest. Ample free time as well. Highly recommend!

Giethoorn, Afsluitdijk, Zaanse Schans Day Tour Incl Hotel Pick Up

Sandy_M, Jun 2026

It was great being picked...

It was great being picked up at our hotel. We didn’t have to worry about how to get to meeting location. Our driver and guide Reiner was wonderful. He was very friendly and easy to talk to. He was knowledgeable about the areas we were going to. He is a very caring person( always making sure we were ok). We enjoyed the guided wooden shoe factory tour and our favorite of all was the open boat ride on the canals of Geithoorn. It was really nice of Reiner to give us suggestions for restaurants for dinner and he offered to drop us off either at our hotel or somewhere close to a restaurant we wanted to go to.

Giethoorn Guided DayTrip from Amsterdam

Penny_B, Jun 2026

Day in Venice of Netherlands

Bring cash some of places will not take cards. I did not have any issues our guide told us which restaurant only took cash. Jay did great job talking to us on way they made the ride enjoyable. If you get him you will be happy. Liked how he called us all family

Giethoorn, Zaanse Schans Windmills Guided Day Trip from Amsterdam

Susan_H, Jun 2026

Amazing Informative Day

Our guide,Jay, made this day extra enjoyable with his knowledge of the Netherlands and its history. His sense of humor was an added bonus. We loved the fact that we left at 8:00, so we were one of the first groups to Zaanse Schans. This allowed us to take our pictures before it got crowded. The cheese and wooden shoe demonstrations were short,, which gives us time to browse the shops and buy souvenirs. If you want to go into the windmills, it is a separate fee, but we felt it was worth it to get to climb up to the second level. The trip to Giethoorn takes about an hour and a half. We thought it was fun to see the countryside with the wind turbans and farm fields. Giethoorn was so quaint and picturesque with all the canals and thatched roof cottages. It is a must see destination. Book this, you won’t regret it.

Bruges Day Trip from Amsterdam

mestith, Jun 2026

Bruges is a magical, fairy wonderland.

Though the bus portion is long and arduous, we really enjoyed this tour! Bruges is absolutely stunning and we had a wonderful local tour guide who knew allll of the history. We recommend finding a restaurant off the beaten path for lunch. That’s the best way to find something more authentic and less crowded.

Book This One, You Won’t Regret It!

Leidse was FANTASTIC- we lucked out with amazing weather and a trip packed with a lot of fun. Would recommend - there’s so much to see on the tour and we were absolutely taken with Giethoorn!! The boat tour through the canals was a gorgeous experience. Leidse was 10/10!

Zaanse Schans and Giethoorn Small-Group Tour with Hotel Pick-Up

Monika_S, May 2026

Great tour with a great tour guide -Erik!

Guided tour was a great experience. We were picked up from the hotel in time. We covered two beautiful Dutch villages Geithorn and Zaans Schans. Erik our tour guide was amazing, his knowledge of the area and Dutch history added to the experience. Great sense of humor, very personable and punctual. Hands down the best tour of the Dutch countryside.

The Hague, Delft and Rotterdam Small-Group Tour (Max. 8 People)

Chi_P, May 2026

Great tour with excellent guide

We had a great time on this tour with our guide Leidse. It is a small group tour (8 ppl) and includes hotel pick up, which is rare nowadays. Our guide messaged the night before to confirm pick up times. All 3 sites we visited were very good and Leidse did a great job giving us an orientation of each place and then free time to explore on our own. He also gave really good tips for food. In Delft, we had an excellent lunch and the apple pie at Stadsbakker is the best in Amsterdam. In Hague, though it wasn't part of the tour, Leidse gave us extra time to visit the museum after I mentioned really wanting to see the paintings there. I think we got back a little late because of this, so I really appreciated his flexibility. Highly recommend this tour.

From Amsterdam: Keukenhof Gardens Ticket and Transfer

Christina_H, May 2026

Must see!

Visiting Keukenhof was truly unforgettable. The gardens were absolutely beautiful — every path felt like a postcard filled with vibrant tulips and incredible floral displays. I’m so happy we had the chance to go, especially because I was able to share the experience with my mom, who loves flowers. Seeing her enjoy the gardens made the trip even more special. It was peaceful, colorful, and something we’ll both remember for a long time.

Charms of Brussels and Bruges Day Trip from Amsterdam

Cori_P, May 2026

Great Day Trip

Wonderful tour. Tour guide Andrea was very friendly, entertaining, and provided a guided tour in both Brussels and Bruges. Our driver Johan kept us safe and on time. As a solo traveler who often chooses day bus tours, this was one of my favorites. Follow the positive reviews. It’s a long day but if that’s what you’re after, it’s more than worth it.

Amsterdam: Zaanse Schans, "Lego-houses" and Volendam Tour

Dennis_G, May 2026

Trip is just as advertised. Very different and very enjoyable experiences! Lovely! Did not disappoint!

We have never had a bad experience with Viator/Get Your Guide. They are always on time, right where they say they will meet you (but be sure ahead of time that you know where that is!), and on schedule for return trip. Their guides have always been very knowledgeable and entertaining. We highly recommend them! The 3 places we went on this tour were just as advertised. We enjoyed the cheese making lesson and really loved Volendam, fishing village. Be sure to get a plate of whatever seafood you choose (can mix & match—I got a mix of fried shrimp and fried fish bites) at the seafood truck on the harbor promenade. Take some time to stroll along the water.

Zaanse Schans, Edam, Volendam and Marken Tour

Patricia_C, Apr 2026

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.
