What are people saying about Amsterdam

Lynn_E, Apr 2026

Better understanding of...

Better understanding of check-in directions - we got dropped off at bus area by Uber @ 8:30 am and could not find anyone to help us with directions - after 1/2 hour of running up and down talking to bus drivers, other tour guides one finally pointed out orange jacket - he finally helped us and directed us to bus. We showed our Uber guide the directions to the meeting point and he said he understood but he did not which left us totally unknowing as to what to do next. We thought at 9:00 we were doomed and unable to take tour. It was very upsetting. Our guide Diana was wonderful, very informative and explained directions thoroughly. Tulips were gorgeous and cheese demo was great and my husband enjoyed his tour of windmill - village was very authentic

Amsterdam: Keukenhof Entry & Shuttle Bus with Flexible Return

John_K, Apr 2026

Amazing colors in April

Seamless travel to/from Keukenhof. The ability to decide when to leave and head back is key. The gardens are stunning and the complex is quite large. You should block at least 4 hours to spend on site and take your time. Explore all food/refreshment sites inside the park because they offer different choices and lines can be long during peak times.

Rotterdam, Delft and The Hague Small Group Tour from Amsterdam

Robert_H, Apr 2026

Excellent tour

It’s most of the day with three unique experiences—rebuilt Rotterdam center after WWII bombings, and lovely old city of Delft. With an hour for the extensive Delft history & workshop, leave 15-20 minutes for shopping. The Hague Peace Plaza was fascinating; read all the posted info, including 197 countries on peace list.

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

Joyita_G, Apr 2026

Trip to Keukonhoff and Tulip farm

We had a fantastic time during this memorable tour. The bus was very comfortable and the Tulip farm experience, the Keukenhoff time was the best thing I have done during this trip to Europe. The windmill tour was slow, but I liked that it gave a good time to relax. Highly recommend this. Wear sneakers and dress up in layers.

Bruges Day Trip from Amsterdam

Jennifer_M, Apr 2026

A long day trip but worth it. Great guides!

This was a wonderful experience! The bus was comfortable and our guide Claudia was organized and informative. Then our walking guide in Bruges was also very knowledgeable and also entertaining. He also did a really nice job of keeping track of everyone in the group and waiting to talk until everyone could hear him. It is a full day trip from Amsterdam, so be prepared for the time. But we felt it was worth it.

Giethoorn Guided DayTrip from Amsterdam

Ellen_D, Apr 2026

A trip to Giethoorn

The trip was better than expected. We were a party of 5 and we travelled in a small luxury coach. Our excellent bus driver, boat driver and guide was Rashid and he was super. Travel with him if you can!! Great opportunity to see the Dutch countryside, learn about land reclamation, the building of Dykes to hold back the sea water, great Dutch water management technology. We got to see and experience tulip fields up close. Giethoorn is very beautiful and interesting and the canal trip is very relaxing because the boats are run on electricity and therefore very quiet. Go on a small boat if you can, there were just 6 of us with Rashid on the boat. Go outside peak season if you can as it becomes extremely crowded in the summer months.

Giethoorn, Zaanse Schans Windmills Guided Day Trip from Amsterdam

jay_n, Apr 2026

Wonderful Giethoorn Day TrIp

I joined the Giethoorn, Zaanse Schans Windmills Guided Day Trip from Amsterdam and it exceeded my expectations. Our guide was absolutely outstanding – very attentive and caring, always checking on each person in the group and explaining everything clearly at every stop. He gave commentary throughout the 10.5‑hour journey, making the long drive feel fun and engaging instead of tiring. He even arranged an extra stop at a tulip field outside the original program, which was a wonderful surprise and made the day even more special. The driver was also very dedicated and friendly, driving safely the whole way and helping everyone get on and off the bus comfortably. I felt well taken care of from the moment we left Amsterdam until we returned. Overall, both the guide and the driver were kind, professional, and created a warm, enjoyable atmosphere for the whole group. I highly recommend this tour if you want to discover Giethoorn and Zaanse Schans in a relaxed and memorable way.

Zaanse Schans Windmills, Clogs and Dutch Cheese Small-Group Tour from Amsterdam

Robert_B, Apr 2026

Smile Ear to Ear

A moderately paced half day trip, primarily visits a windmill museum village, having several windmills, and demonstration. Great photographic opportunities on a sunny day with beautiful fair weather clouds. Plenty of time for photographers to do their thing, and so long as you keep track of the group, you can more or less do your own thing, so long as you're there and check in frequently. My fiance loved the village, she came away very happy with the experience, and smiled ear to ear. The cheese demonstration and sampling was good, try a couple cheeses, but note the store can be crowded. Keep an eye on your belongings, and be 360 aware at all times.

Cathy_B, Apr 2026

Crowded but worth it!

There are a lot of people. Since they only open for 8 weeks and over a million come during that time, you can imagine the crowds. BUT, don’t let that stop you, it is beautiful and huge. There are plenty of spots to take pictures and the only real lines are for food and bathrooms.

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.

Amsterdam Canal Cruise With Live Guide and Unlimited Drinks

Jack_L, Mar 2026

Amazing experience

The drinks were truly unlimited. We were American college students looking for a good experience of the city and this was perfect. The guide explained much of the history of the city and the scenery was once in a lifetime. Beautiful pictures and a great way to get your values worth of drinks.
