Philip took us to see the real Dutch countryside, complete with stories about its heritage and history. He took us to unique areas that were NOT crowded with tourists as per our request to stay off the beaten path. Philip was both extremely knowledgeable and entertaining. He never rushed us and let us spend as much time in the attractions that interested us the most, including the working saw windmill, the only one of its kind. A great tour and fun day with an excellent guide!

Nazi WWII Concentration Camp Small Group Tour from Amsterdam

John_P, Jun 2026

Once in a lifetime experience

This was by far one of our favorite excursions. It was very moving and educational. Eva’s personal family story really brought the experience to life. Her story made the ride to Vught go by so fast. Five stars was the max I could give. I would give it a 10 if I could. I highly recommend this excursion to anyone coming to Amsterdam and looking for unique experience.

Eric was our guide for this experience. He knew a lot about the Netherlands and its history, his personality is refreshing. I would encourage anyone thinking about booking a full day experience to request Eric as your guide, you will be entertained as well as informed.

Amsterdam: Zaanse Schans, "Lego-houses" and Volendam Tour

Dennis_G, May 2026

Trip is just as advertised. Very different and very enjoyable experiences! Lovely! Did not disappoint!

We have never had a bad experience with Viator/Get Your Guide. They are always on time, right where they say they will meet you (but be sure ahead of time that you know where that is!), and on schedule for return trip. Their guides have always been very knowledgeable and entertaining. We highly recommend them! The 3 places we went on this tour were just as advertised. We enjoyed the cheese making lesson and really loved Volendam, fishing village. Be sure to get a plate of whatever seafood you choose (can mix & match—I got a mix of fried shrimp and fried fish bites) at the seafood truck on the harbor promenade. Take some time to stroll along the water.

Excellent set up,...

Excellent set up, brilliant driver, really well structured, easy to find, the farm experience was really well done and gardens fantastic, really busy on a Saturday but easy in and exit organised by the company. All ran really well to time and the driver gave lots of useful info. Definitely a must do.

This is a great tour. ...

This is a great tour. Our tour director, Bea, spoke very good English and loud enough for all to hear. We had a wheelchair in our group and she made a special effort to make sure they were ok. She gave us the schedule of what our plans were for the day and followed the schedule and time frame so everyone understood. Our bus driver, Ness, was a good driver and I never worried about his driving.
