What are people saying about Amsterdam

jason_h, Oct 2026

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.

Amsterdam Red Light District and Coffee Shop Tour

DamienTony_V, Sep 2026

Ben is an amazing guide. Very knowledgeable of the local and national history and laws.

Got here before dark and was guided through the local streets and alleys. Loved the history and culture. Definitely had to light up a local joint and smoke in the streets. Very freeing lol. Can't do that in California. We need more of gedogen and gedoogbeleid, and less police state. Ben led us and was very informative. Not boring in the least. He worried he was to talkative, but that is what I paid for.

Rijksmuseum Amsterdam Exclusive Guided Tour w/ Reserved Entry

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!

It was downpouring the day of our tour. We half expected it to get cancelled... but Lawrence showed up ready to conquer the day! We ran from covered awning to covered awning while he packed in as much information about our surroundings as possible. Our tour was a great mix of popular sights and local hidden gems. Lawrence's passion for history was infectious, he explained even tiny details in a way that captivated our attention despite the weather! We walked A LOT but Lawrence did check in with us often about how we were doing so the pace could've definitely been adjusted if we weren't keeping up! I wish we had Lawrence to guide us through every city we travelled to!

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!

Highly recommended: private canal cruise

The tour was great - relaxed and informative! The skipper spoke German and provided interesting insights into the canals and life on the houseboats. He made sure that you felt completely comfortable. In terms of time, the 60 minutes were absolutely appropriate to get an impression of the canals and Amsterdam.

Amsterdam 2-hour Private Canal Cruise with Live Guide and Drinks

Bartboodt, Jul 2026

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.

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.
