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

Anonymous, Aug 2026

Amsterdam vacation 2026

The tour was great. The tour guide Kai was outstanding. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. Many of us had problems with mobility, even though it ended up being a small group of 8, 3 had mobility difficulties. He made the tour as accessible and accommodating as possible. I would highly recommend this tour from this tour company, hopefully you will get Kai as your guide. We were only a group of 8 because of the rain. With a maximum of 18 in the group, it would still be an amazing tour. Because the other groups that at the attractions were much larger. I highly recommend this tour.

Bruges Day Trip from Amsterdam

Anonymous, Aug 2026

A must-see city

Bruges is absolutely stunning. It almost seems unreal. The tour was well-organized and accommodated both English and Spanish speaking individuals. There were a lot of fun, interesting tidbits, and we got free chocolate samples at one of the shops. It was a fantastic introduction to a beautiful city. I only wish we had more time, but it’s a bit of a drive to Amsterdam. If you have an extra day in Amsterdam, definitely do this tour.

A quaint old down outside Amsterdam not to be missed

My son who is a civil engineer loved the technology of the old windmills. On the otherhand, I loved the quaint old town outside Amsterdam. It was a wonderful experience. We didn't care so much about the cheese tasting and the cheese. But we loved the history of the place.

You must do this tour!

This was the tour that exceeded my expectations. Our guide, Jay, was amazing. He was informative and funny. The stop at the fruit stand made me wish I had one just like it in my town. The canal cruise was awesome - made me wish I lived here. It is a must do tour!

Great Tour! Thanks, David

This tour was fantastic. Our guide, David, was a wealth of information and presented the history and culture of Amsterdam in a humorous, engaging manner. I’ve taken many city tours, and this was the best one. A wonderful tour for a beautiful, fun city. I learned so much and would take the tour again if I’m ever in Amsterdam again.

This was a very fun and...

This was a very fun and eye-opening tour! Seeing the large windmills built hundreds of years ago, including inside one of them, was really cool. Seeing clog making and sampling fresh cheeses was a treat as well. Our guide, Meike, was so friendly and has a great sense of humor. She was just great. I highly encourage using this tour company

Rotterdam, Delft, The Hague

Alex was a very knowledgable guide. His presentation of each of the areas we visited was professional, interesting, with some comedic quips added in. He allowed us multiple photo opportunities ineach city, as well as, on our own time. He answered all questions thoroughly. The only negative thing I can say is I had a hard time finding the meeting point, but it more me not understanding the directions. I had no problem contacting him for further instructions. All in all this 8-9 hour tour was a great way to see the countryside & cities close to Amsterdam in a small group setting.

Well-organized Day Trip

Great way to spend a day and get out to see more of the Netherlands. While Zaandam was very crowded with tour busses after we finished our tour, it was nice that we were one of the first busses there to see the village while it was still pretty quiet. Giethoorn was nice, but seemed overrun by tourists. Glad we had some free time to explore it some. Ibrahim was a fantastic guide and Kamal (?) was a skilled driver. Great day!

Netherlands Big 3 outside Amsterdam

If you want a one-day trip to the three major city centers in the Netherlands outside of Amsterdam, this is your trip. If you like Amsterdam, you’ll love Delft; f history, then The Hague, and for architecture, Rotterdam is you place. Leidse was was great tour guide for dirt-time visitors. He provided a great balance of information and humor at a perfect pace.

A wonderful day trip from Amsterdam

The tour agency was located conveniently near the train station so it was easy to get to. The round trip bus ride made the keukenhoff an easy day trip from the Amsterdam city center. It was early in the season to see the flowers, but there was still a lot bloomed and we had a wonderful time!

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.
