Top Netherlands Bus Tours - page 3

Alex provided a fantastic tour of some of the more unique spots around Amsterdam. I was surprised at the variety of locations, his historical knowledge, and the variety of things to do during the tour. His humor and pacing throughout the day kept the tour fun and lively, and the the tour was a good mixture of free time and guided as we traveled. I would highly recommend to anyone who's interested in the history of the Netherlands outside of Amsterdam, you'll learn to appreciate the history that isn't always taught but it's still relevance to the country.

Eva's storytelling brought the past to life, painting a vivid picture of historical events against the backdrop of the locations themselves. Her narratives focused on individual stories of choice, bravery, and courage, highlighting the accounts of people who chose to resist rather than be swept away by the prevailing current of events. The experience was deeply enhanced by the locations, which offered not only visual context but also a tangible connection to the past. Eva intimately shared her own family's personal journey, detailing their preparation for survival, the challenges of hiding, and their life after the war. This personal connection transformed the historical account from a simple story into a deeply moving and relatable human experience. The tour also provided a powerful moment of reflection, showing what the one's destiny could have been if they hadn't made certain choices, while also paying solemn respects to those who were not as fortunate in their circumstances or fate. What began as a simple online booking evolved into a pivotal moment of reflection on the past and present, not just as an individual but also for our entire small group. (Thank you Peter, Sharon, and Eva.) This was a truly unforgettable experience, and one that will never be forgotten.

Diana was the best tour guide! I thoroughly enjoyed spending the day with her and learning about Dutch artists. Her warm personality and visual aids were plus to the presentation. The plan of going to two museums in a day was daunting but with her guidance we were able to see almost the entirety of both museums.

Our driver (Hans) was very polite and helpful. His car was a beautiful Mercedes and he was an excellent driver. He had some interesting facts to tell us about Amsterdam during our trip and our drive to the hotel in the Museum Quarter was smooth and relaxing.

We had a wonderful time on the bike tour. Our guide knows the area extremely well and personalized our tour to match our interests. She was great!!! The canal part was good, but they seemed more interested in the bartending part than the guide part. It would have helped if the boat driver talked and the other guy bartended. Also, ear pieces would have really helped everyone. It was sometimes hard to hear.

This trip is a once in a lifetime excursion. The tour guide Saad, went above and beyond! The weather wasn’t great but he made the tour! He taught us so much about the tulip gardens. Keukenhof Gardens is a must see! You cannot even imagine the beauty! It will be a tour we will never forget!

Loved this experience. My favorite part was the first stop at the Tulip Experience, walking in the tulip fields and being able to take some tulips home. The second part was nice but way too crowded (learned it was the busiest day of the year). Our tour guide Rob was great!

I thought the windmill cruise was rather boring and could have skipped it, but Keukenhof more than made up for it. It was amazing and the timing was perfect. Unlike most tours, we could stay as long as we wanted, so we didn't have to be back at the bus at a certain time. The buses were leaving to return about every 30 minutes. Which worked out perfectly.
