What are people saying about Amsterdam

Anita_P, Apr 2026

Great tour

Mo from Remo Drivers was excellent. He was very accommodating with our pick up time from Schipol. He took on a tour of large tulip fields before taking us to the Keukenhof Gardens. It was great he had purchased the tickets ahead of time and this saved waiting in long lines. He gave us an overview of must see areas in the garden. Afterwards, we went to to a working tulip farm, Tulipfarm De Tulperij. We were able to learn about the bulb harvest and how they are stored. The highlight was wandering into the tulip fields. Afterwards we had a great apple pie and coffee snack. I highly recommend Mohamed “Mo” of Remo Drivers.

Highly Recommend

This was everything we expected and more. Kenny was a wonderful and knowledgeable guide. We got to the gardens early and beat a lot of the crowds which was wonderful. The visit to Zaanse Schan was charming and our guide was full of information about the village and the windmills. It was a great day and worth the time and money.

Great countryside tour

My family and I enjoyed our bike tour today with Skip. We biked thru Amsterdam and into the countryside. The farm we visited has so many baby cows and sheep we were able to pet. We received drinks and were able to sample two types of cheeses the farm produces. On our scenic ride back we hoped on the cross river ferry before returning back to the office. I highly recommend this tour on a visit to Amsterdam.

Our tour was with...

Our tour was with Victoria. She was full of information and took her time. We strategically went to the Van Gogh main pieces and she explain them throughly. Victoria spoke perfect English and had full of knowledge of Van Gogh’s life and art. This tour group was on a higher price point, but surely worth it with the amount of original work featured. The Museum is very modern and we would’ve been easily turned around on our own. We enjoyed it!

Unique Walking Tour With David

Our guide David has created a unique experience for his walking tour. Rather than focus on old buildings and churches, he emphasizes what it is like to live in the Netherlands and what it is like to be Dutch. You might visit the Van Stapele cookie store that has become wildly successful by keeping it simple and doing only one thing, but doing it very well. You may also visit the Het Begijnhof, a historic home for elderly women, exemplifying how the Dutch look after one another. This tour was a truly great experience and David has clearly put a great deal of thought into making it unique and informative.

Our tour was amazing

We had a private tour with Carola at the Van Gogh Museum. Carola was a great guide. Her deep knowledge on Van Gogh's life and his works made our experience at the museum extraordinary. We enjoyed all the painting while she explained the stories behind them. It was wonderful. Thank you Carola!

A must try experience.

This is one of the best ways to escape the city for half a day. I almost missed my chance, but they were kind enough to rebook me to 5 Nov 2025. And somehow the stars are all aligned today. From the guide, to the weather, to the mix of participants - everything was perfect. (1) The guide. Our guide for the tour was Pearse. His enthusiasm and deep knowledge of the areas made the tour engaging and made me appreciate the rich heritage and beauty of the country even more. (2) The bicycles. I noticed all the bicycles are well maintained, they even looked new. The shop where the meet up point is is also very clean and spotless. (3) The itinerary. The routes and the pit stops are perfect blend of scenic beauty, local culture and refreshing exploration. (4) The group. There were 8 of us. 2 French, 1 Aussie, 1 Scottish, 2 English, 1 Singaporean and 1 Malaysian (me). Everyone was nice to everyone. (5) Lastly, the weather. We were lucky to have a perfect day to enjoy the ride. ** And yes, this is a highly recommended tour.

We had such a great experience on this bar crawl! It was super interactive, and you were actually able to get to know people within your group because the hosts would initiate conversations or games amongst the group. This is great for a solo traveller who wants to make friends or even groups of people who want to make more friends. Andre, Tay, and Soraya were amazing hosts! Would highly recommend this bar crawl if you’re ever in Amsterdam.

Best Tour Guide Ever

Victor/Valter or w.e his name is (and his awesome partner) are simply the best! Not only did they make the cruise the most fun and memorable experience, but they made every moment feel special. And honestly… Victor might just be the hottest guy alive. Charming, knowledgeable, and hilarious, can’t ask for a better guide or a better team. 10/10

Amsterdam old world and Volendam

A day to see the old ways and traditions of Amsterdam. A wonderful in sight to the past. Rick our guide is a real character complete with animal noises! Take note to enter the windmills has a fee around 7 euros. But still a great experience. Volendam village was very relaxing lunch break. Enjoy.
