What are people saying about Amsterdam

cmdelprete, Apr 2026

Great tour!

Fantastic experience! My daughter and I enjoyed our excursion through and outside of the city. Our guide, Skip, was knowledgeable, friendly, and funny. The bikes were easy to use, and the company is conveniently located. If you have time during your stay in Amsterdam, it is worth taking a trip outside the city for a few hours.

Sander was an amazing guide for our countryside tour. It was very scenic and the stop at the Hotel-Café De Zwaan in Ransdorp was a great break with tasty drinks and pie. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to get outside of the busy city for half a day.

Keukenhof's Tulips and Windmills Small-Group Tour from Amsterdam

Lawrence_M, Apr 2026

Excellent tour - exceeded expectations

We were in a van with 8 people which was great. Loved the small group. Our driver/guide, Kenny, was fantastic. He got us into the gardens before the big crowds, lead us around the windmills and was very good at avoiding congested areas. The gardens are absolutely over the top - -exceeded expectations. The town of Zaan was quite interesting, but more of a tourist stop. The cheese place was definitely a shopping opportunity. We thoroughly enjoyed the demonstration on making the wooden shoes (clogs). Overall this was an excellent tour and well worth the $$.

I would definitely recommend this tour especially as a solo traveler because everyone was fun and chill as you should be on vacation/holiday!

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!

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!

Amazing!!!

Relaxing stroll through one of the prettiest neighborhoods in Amsterdam with tastings of regional delicacies at local spots. An incredible way to spend the afternoon in Amsterdam, especially if you are looking for something chill to do that is not in the typical “touristy” area. Gerard l our guide was AMAZING. A lifelong-local, Gerard really added to the experience by adding personal anecdotes and taking time to answer questions throughout. Be sure to dress for the weather and wear good walking shoes.

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.

Heidi_S, Sep 2025

Great choice!

They took us to two quaint villages, one was on the water. Both were beautiful!!! So glad I got out of the city, saw the villages and learned about traditions, and saw how things were made. I wish we had more time everywhere because we didn’t want to leave. Great choice for a few hours if you are 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
