What are people saying about Amsterdam

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

Kelly_J, May 2026

Tulips, tulips everywhere!

If you want to experience the beauty of the Holland tulips, this is the tour for you! We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the tulip farm and hearing from a 4th generation tulip farmer. The boat ride offered views of tiny towns and windmills. The true show stopper is the visit to the tulip gardens. The variety, colors, and artistry of the tulip gardens is absolutely jaw dropping. Definitely one of the most beautiful places I've ever been. Only caveat is the crowds--they are massive. I still think the tulip gardens are worth the trip, though.

Coach trip to boat takes...

Coach trip to boat takes about 35 mins then nice relaxing trip on the boat. Refreshments available. Coach picks you back up to go to the Keukenhof and stops you off in car park. Short walk to the entrance and then can return to any of the hop on hop off coaches to return

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

karen_m, Apr 2026

The perfect way to explore the countryside

This was an exceptional experience that I’ll always remember. Lynne was an incredible tour guide. She was fun, knowledgeable and kind. We were so lucky to have the sunshine and lovely, friendly people with us. The views were stunning and the landscape easy to navigate. I’ll definitely use Viator again for other adventures.

Tracey_V, Apr 2026

Ask for Eloise - she’s the best !

Our guide made this tour so fun! She was a sweetheart - Eloise. Provided some history along the way and made sure everyone was always together. The bicycle fellow at the counter checking us in seemed a little short on patience and maybe shouldn’t be in the tourism industry if tourists annoy him.

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.

Bruges Day Trip from Amsterdam

Bob_R, Mar 2026

A Perfect Day in Bruges

This tour could not have been better, both because of the subject of the tour (Bruges, Belgium) and because of the efforts of the tour guides. Bruges is a preserved medieval community, and it’s easy to imagine walking (or boating) around it 8-900 years ago. Blanca, our chaperone on the bus, was utterly charming and enthusiastic about going to Bruges, and effectively communicated her excitement to us. Our walking tour guide, Gosia, (sp?), conveyed both her excitement and her knowledge of Bruges’ fascinating history. The plan for the tour left an appropriate amount of free time for ambling about the city, before we had to return to Amsterdam. This tour just could not have been better.

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

John_L, Mar 2026

Captain Attila’s Amazing Voyage

Attila was a perfect guide. He was very welcoming and made everyone feel comfortable. He offered beverages and made sure all were ready for the tour. The tour coverage so much of Amsterdam is a thorough yet relaxing way. He was knowledgeable and funny! He engaged everyone on the boat and made us all feel included. Great job at a very reasonable price! Would book it again!

Amsterdam Small Group Bike Tour

Yana_H, Dec 2025

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: Exclusive Dinner Canal Cruise

Anna_H, Oct 2025

100 out of 10

This boat tour was absolutely fabulous! The service was excellent and the food was delicious! There are three choices for each course - fish, meat, veg, and for dessert there was fruit, cheese, or cheesecake - and there is a bathroom on the boat. We would recommend this tour a thousand times. Thank you so much for a truly wonderful last evening in Amsterdam.

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.
