What are people saying about Amsterdam

From Amsterdam: Keukenhof Gardens & Windmill Cruise Tour

Lori_J, Apr 2026

Beautiful Tulips!

This was a great way to see the tulips. The windmill cruise was interesting and our captain was funny; but the tulips were the real star of our day. You could probably just do the bust to/from Kuekenhof without the windmill cruise and be fine, but I enjoyed the overall experience.

Keukenhof Gardens & Tulip Experience Tour from Amsterdam

waleska_w, Apr 2026

The experience at the...

The experience at the farm/museum was informative and the garden was magnificent! My only concern was that the meeting point was unclear and though we found it a few minutes earlier than the assigned time, the group had already started walking towards the bus which was further away. Other people were late to the bus because they also had trouble finding the meeting point.

Amsterdam's Countryside Half-Day Bike Tour in Small Group

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.

Amsterdam: Day trip to Tulip Farm, Keukenhof + Windmill Cruise

Joyita_G, Apr 2026

Trip to Keukonhoff and Tulip farm

We had a fantastic time during this memorable tour. The bus was very comfortable and the Tulip farm experience, the Keukenhoff time was the best thing I have done during this trip to Europe. The windmill tour was slow, but I liked that it gave a good time to relax. Highly recommend this. Wear sneakers and dress up in layers.

Morning Canal Cruise Amsterdam in Small-Group

Kimo_T, Apr 2026

Cruising in style

The Salon style boat was the perfect choice for the chill of the morning. Its transparent roof allowed us to better view the homes along the canals. Its electric motor was quiet and fume free. The Guide/pilot was competent and very knowledgeable of the local history of Amsterdam. I would thoroughly recommend Captain Dave's Boat Tour to everyone.

Amsterdam City Top Highlights Guided Bike Tour

Megan_C, Apr 2026

A good way to see Amsterdam

A great way to see Amsterdam! Our tour guide was fabulous and shared lots of history and facts. Only downside was that at times riding through the traffic was stressful. You were disconnected from the group at times as you had to wait back if you didn't make the lights at intersections, then catch up and rejoin the group.

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

Yolanda_V, Apr 2026

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.

Amsterdam Canal Tour by Open Boat – 90 min Small Group Experience

ErinH, Apr 2026

Fabulous, small open boat tour

Captain Attila was an amazing guide who had such a calm way of speaking and sharing insights on Amsterdam! I highly recommend touring with him. My family and I had a wonderful experience and learned so much about Amsterdam and the boat was warm - heated seats! and beautiful.

Red Light District tour in Amsterdam

Isabella_R, Jan 2026

Informative easy stroll to prepare you for the red light district

We really enjoyed this tour. Our guide used a manageable walking pace and was careful with snow on the ground. The information provided was very helpful in terms of the history of the red light district and how that has changed today. We were also given recommendations for which locations would be best to visit if that’s what we wanted, and what to expect. Our guide was very open to questions as well. Amsterdam is largely flat so it’s an easy walk.

Amsterdam Small Group Bike Tour

The small group bike tour...

The small group bike tour was excellent. Willhem our tour guide was so knowledgeable and helpful, the staff in the store were great at getting us set up. An amazing way to experience and explore Amsterdam under the experienced guidance. Always felt safe and well looked after. Highly recommend Yellow Bikes Tour.

Anne Frank and the Jewish History of Amsterdam Private Tour

Barbara_D, Oct 2025

A++ Do not miss this tour!!

Kayleigh was an amazing tour guide! She is so knowledgeable about the history of Amsterdam and the Jewish Quarter and able to answer any questions you may have about the city. She is also super cute and personable. This is the second time I’ve taken this tour (first with friends and a year later with my husband) and I still learned new information the second time around. The way the tour is structured leaves you at the Anne Frank to tour on your own. Very sobering but definitely a must see while in Amsterdam. Highly, highly recommend Kayleigh and this tour!

Amsterdam: Luxury Canal Cruise including Cocktails & Snacks

Megan_R, Aug 2025

Perfect Way to See Amsterdam

We had a relaxing, informative, and comfortable cruise on the canal and absolutely loved it. Our time in Amsterdam was cut short by flight delays but we did this our first night in town and got to see and enjoy so much. And the knowledgeable team gave us a few recommendations for making the most of our time in Amsterdam as well. Unforgettable evening, highly recommend. It was also less crowded at some times than others - we were almost crammed on an earlier scheduled tour but were so glad we waited for the next one to enjoy a more comfortable ride.
