What are people saying about Amsterdam

Michael_B, Jul 2026

Outstanding Tour

Outstanding! Incredible value for such a great, comprehensive trip. Includes a great bus ride out to the countryside with lots of Dutch culture and history Our tour guide Mickie was great; she did a marvelous job. Her wooden shoes were an added bonus!

Bruges Day Trip from Amsterdam

Len_H, Jul 2026

Great option if you don't have days to stay in Brugge

If, like us, you have a free day in Amsterdam, this is a wonderful experience, to get a taste of Brugge, despite the 3 hours of bus travel each way The 2hour walking tour was a great way to get our bearings, followed by 3 hours of free time, was a really good balance A beautiful old city, and with hindsight we would have stayed in Brugge itself for 2 to 3 nights, but with limited time, this tour was a great option

Absolutely Amsterdam - the Essential Introductory Walking Tour

Jen_E, Jul 2026

Do it!!

A fantastic experience!! Our guide Jaap was exceptional, super entertaining and funny. His expertise in history was impressive! We learned so much. I highly recommend doing this walking tour to get a more intimate understanding of the city, and hear of all the interesting things that you wont find in travel books.

Zaanse Schans, Edam, Volendam and Marken Tour

Roxana_H, Jul 2026

Exceptional Tour

This tour was fantastic from start to finish. The moment our bus pulled away, we knew we were in good hands — the ride was comfortable, spacious, and very accommodating. As we traveled, our guide shared fascinating details about the dams and landscapes we passed, making the journey itself part of the experience. We made several stops, each one absolutely worth it. The cheese factory was a highlight, especially the tasting room — delicious and fun. The windmills were breathtaking, truly one of the most beautiful sights you’ll ever see. Along the way, there were plenty of gift shops and food options, so you’re never without something to explore. A quick tip: wear comfortable shoes. You’ll walk quite a bit, but honestly, you’ll be so captivated by the scenery that you won’t even notice. We traveled as a family of four, ages ranging from 20 to 80, and the tour was wonderfully accommodating for everyone. I want to give a special thanks to our tour guide for making the day memorable, informative, and seamless.

Fantastic, in-depth tour!

Andy was an incredible tour guide! Prioritized our fun and safety, and was so knowledgeable about the Netherlands! We toured on a very hot day but the pacing kept us consistently cool (either indoors or in the car). The stops were so interesting and I enjoyed learning so much history! Highly recommend to anyone looking to see parts of the Netherlands outside of Amsterdam!!

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.

Excellent guide & driver

Excellent day trip hosted by hop on & hop off This is Holland. Friendly guide & Driver for the return trip from Amsterdam. Despite the bus had some over heated issue on our return journey that ww had to wait for nearly an hour for the emergency bus to bring us back. The driver was very informative and took care of everyone while waiting. He got someone from Giethroon to bring some ice lollies due to the hot weather. We all returned safely by the end of the day.

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.
