This is a must!

It was absolutely superb. Victoria was more Knowledgeable than a Netflix documentary. So authentic. It’s clear that she has spent years understanding Van Gogh and the other artists. She has immense knowledge of The Netherlands as well. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our time.

The Amsterdam You’d Never Find on Your Own

Philip knows every place and everyone, and generously shares them all. We experienced the history of the country and city through his stories and experiences and special access at each stop. Our windmill tour in particular was exceptional. I highly recommend you take a tour with him!

Anne Frank and the Jewish History of Amsterdam Private Tour

Raina_K, Sep 2026

Very Worthwhile Tour

This was an excellent tour to learn about the significant history of the Jewish quarter in Amsterdam. Our tour guide, Chris, was very knowledgeable and personable. His love of Amsterdam enhanced the extensive and detailed information he provided as we traveled through the area. In addition, his sensitivity and insight when describing the situation in Amsterdam during World War II was greatly appreciated. This tour ended with the Anne Frank Museum. We highly recommend both this tour and, specifically, Chris.

AnneE_L, Sep 2026

Exceeded Expectations!

Eva, of Dutch Tours, guided us on our fabulous small group day tour of Kinderdijk and Delft; it was fantastic! Focusing on these two places which were critical in the history and culture of the Netherlands, without also cramming in a stop in Rotterdam, gave us time to appreciate snd absorb what we were experiencing. And Eva’s expert knowledge and charming personality (along with great driving skills in a very comfortable coach), made the tour EXACTLY what we wanted. It exceeded expectations. We will DEFINITELY be in touch with Dutch Tours when we plan a return trip!

Our group had an...

Our group had an incredible canal tour with our skipper, Deep. He was an awesome guide-friendly, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable about Amsterdam. He taught us so much about the city, from its history and culture to its laws and everyday life, and was happy to answer every question we threw at him. The whole experience felt relaxed, personal, and genuinely fun. Deep gave us a much better understanding of Amsterdam and helped shape the rest of our time in the city. It was easily a 10/10 experience for everyone in our group. We would absolutely book another tour when we return, especially if we could have Deep as our skipper again! And the best part was actually the music, made the vibe incredible.

He’s very knowledgeable and friendly and provided a relaxed atmosphere and his vehicle was very comfortable and clean. He also gave us plenty of time at each destination. We loved the tour and highly recommend it to others!

Top afternoon on the Amsterdam canals.

With six friends sailed wonderfully 2 hours on the Amsterdam canals. Super cozy. Chat and drink beers on a quiet and smooth sailing electric boat. No sassy sloop but a nice normal boat and comfortable. Also nice that there was a canopy, not because of rain but against the sun! Top afternoon!!! Thanks Paap.

Amazing experience

Sebastian was amazing and very friendly. We have had a wonderful time even though we were not experts with cycling. He has even provided us with recommendations to try through our trip. Enjoying the city vibes on a bike is totally worth it. Totally recommend this experience.

malexk, May 2026

The most beautiful way through Amsterdam.

We had a fantastic 90-minute canal cruise with BoatBoys on the boat "Undine"! From the straightforward online reservation to our special requests for drinks, everything was perfectly organized. Our boat driver was super friendly and even explained the most important information in German – very pleasant and personal. There were five of us, including a baby, and we felt completely comfortable the whole time. Especially nice: a maximum of 6 people on board, making it very relaxed and exclusive. Absolutely recommendable for anyone who wants to experience Amsterdam in a special way!

Private Skip-The-Line Keukenhof & Tulip Field Tour from Amsterdam

Melony_Y, May 2026

Flower excursion

The Skip the line was a great experience, especially on a busy day. Our Driver had a recorded audio that explained why and how the garden came to be. The flowers themselves are spectacular even on the final season of tulips. On our day the fields had already been deadheaded. So we missed the field experience which was disappointing.
