What are people saying about Amsterdam

Erica_G, Aug 2026

Great experience! Fantastic Guide! Perfect family adventure!

A canal tour is an excellent way to see the neighborhoods, and especially a tour with this company. The boat is small enough to navigate into narrower canals and is absolutely charming. The guide, Roman, was wonderful and knowledgeable. Our family really enjoyed the experience.

Zaanse Schans Windmills Volendam Small-Group Tour from Amsterdam

John_F, Aug 2026

Zaanse Schans Windmills &...

Zaanse Schans Windmills & Volendam Small-Group Tour from Amsterdam was an absolute highlight. Apostolis was a fantastic guide—knowledgeable, easygoing, and genuinely passionate about every stop on the tour. He gave us plenty of time to explore the windmills, wander through the fishing village, and soak in the scenery at our own pace. He even took us to a great herring spot where we got to try this delicious Dutch treat. I loved it. I’d absolutely recommend booking this tour with Apostolis. Thank you for a memorable day Apostolis.

Amsterdam Cheese, Windmill & Countryside Bike Tour /E-bike Option

Virginia_M, Jul 2026

One of the best tours we have ever done

One of the best tours we have ever done - the sun shone, the countryside was beautiful, our guide Sam was knowledgeable and we just loved cycling through the countryside and seeing the 1 windmill - we had expected windmills... but the one we saw was very beautiful.

A bit of confusion about...

A bit of confusion about meeting point started our trip off a bit shakily, but cruise captain soon picked us up and all was 5* after that. Very lovely from tablecloths to service and 3 course gourmet food . Food was picked up efficiently from a restaurant along the way, once for main course and once for dessert. Classy trip. Would highly recommend for a couple.

Do this upon arrival in Amsterdam

We took this tour with our guide, Luna, who was great! My only regret is that we did not do this sooner. It is my second trip to Amsterdam and had I ridden a bike here earlier, I would have had a better appreciation of the protocols. Otherwise, iit was my favorite experience in Amerstam (yes, better than Ann Frank!).

Captain Don and bartender Lemone were very knowledgeable and humorous in their narration of the tour. The umbrellas provided much needed relief from the 94 degree heat of the day. Drinks were provided and refills regularly checked on. Lots of fun and highly recommend unless rain is threatening.

We went with This Is Holland Hop on Hop Off tour company. Very easy to find the meeting point In Amsterdam. Was easy to find them afterwards in a sea of tour buses. The gardens itself was phenomenal and wished we were there several days earlier but we were on a cruise. I highly recommend going to the gardens.

Anne Frank and the Jewish History of Amsterdam Private Tour

Kathy_O, May 2026

The best way to see Amsterdam

It is walking but at a leisurely pace. Our guide Guido was very knowledgeable and made everything interesting but not like a lecture. We were able to ask questions and get our specific interests explained and the history of it all. Having them purchase our Anne Frank tickets made it so much easy so book early! We were there immediately after Memorial Day so we had some extra history and were able to see impact of war on descenders. Took a tram and had a pie and coffee stop. Great tour!! The non Jewish people in our group really appreciated this history.

Amsterdam The Original Pizza Cruise with Unlimited Drinks

Rebecca_C, Nov 2025

Pizza boat trip

easy to find , got aboard and was asked which pizza we would like and had about 5 options, alcohol was included this consisted of wine or beer but soft drinks also included, nuts was also on the table To nibble on , staff on the boat was very friendly. We had a lovely evening the pizza was lovely but I would say , more information/history should be given as a lot of the trip itself the guide was not talking through which was a shame , canals looked beautiful at night and we are glad we done the trip

Grand Dutch Food & History Tour of Amsterdam

Christie_M, Oct 2025

Best food tour option

Great experience! Not your typical "fries/waffle tour." Guide was very interesting and accommodating. Places visited provided delicious samplings from the rich history of Amsterdam/Netherlands. Tour takes your to interesting places around the city. The food/drink options are worth the extra money. Highly Recommend this Tour.
