What are people saying about Amsterdam

karenanzalone, Oct 2026

Don’t miss this!

Being honest I had a limited appreciation of the Dutch masters. Robin, our tour guide, was exceptional. He thoroughly and eloquently explained the history and setting of how the artisan community developed in Amsterdam. He touched all the highlights and a few extra surprises. I learned and retained a tremendous amount on this tour and have a new appreciation for Dutch paintings (outside of Van Gogh).

Day Trip to Zaanse Schans, Edam, Volendam and Marken from Amsterdam

Pam_H, Oct 2026

Perfect, Comprehensive View of Netherlands

What a PERFECT, all-inclusive day of experiencing the countryside around Amsterdam. This excursion took in a lot in only one day, and our guide was delightful and informative. I would have loved a bit more time to look and shop at the windmill site, but I would have hated missing the other sites, so the schedule was actually perfect and did give adequate time to see it all. If you only have a couple days in Amsterdam, this is the PERFECT excursion to see the countryside and learn about Norwegian life and culture. Every site was exciting, informative and provided a glimpse of a different leg of Netherlands. I give it a 5 out of 5 stars!

Zaanse Schans Windmills, Clogs and Dutch Cheese Small-Group Tour from Amsterdam

Debra_G, Oct 2026

A tour is the best way to see this area

I think you will get much more out of a visit here with a tour guide. If going on your own, it would just be a grouping of shops; with a tour guide you learn the real history of this area and becomes a much richer and more meaningful experience. Our guide lives here, so she knew the area well, and her passion for her home came through in her presentation.

Amsterdam: Exclusive 3-course Dinner Canal Cruise

Stephen_O, Oct 2026

It was first class all...

It was first class all the way! White tablecloths, China, silverware. The entire experience was excellent! Crew did an excellent job! As of to no fault of the crew, the restaurant made a mistake with the desserts. Even though it was not the crew’s fault, they compensated our drinks for the night! First class service all the way!

Amsterdam All-Inclusive 90-Minutes Canal Cruise by Captain Jack

Dahlia_C, Oct 2026

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Captain Yankee Made the Experience!

We had such a great time on our Amsterdam canal cruise, and **Captain Yankee was definitely the highlight!** This wasn’t really a traditional narrated sightseeing tour, which ended up being perfectly fine with us because Captain Yankee made the entire cruise so entertaining. He was funny, personable, and had a great sense of humor. He kept us laughing and created such a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere while we cruised through the beautiful canals of Amsterdam. He also announced that he had **just proposed to his girlfriend**, which made the experience even more memorable. Congratulations again, Captain Yankee! ❤️💍 We had originally booked a different departure but rescheduled, and I am SO glad we did because we ended up on a **closed boat**. The weather was chilly, so being able to enjoy Amsterdam's canals from a warm, comfortable boat while having wine and Dutch snacks was exactly what we needed. 🍷🧀 The 90 minutes went by incredibly fast. Between the beautiful scenery, drinks, snacks, conversation, and Captain Yankee's humor, it felt more like hanging out on the canals with a fun local than being on a typical tourist excursion. If you get Captain Yankee as your captain, you're in for a good time. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and were very happy we chose this cruise for our first visit to Amsterdam! 🇳🇱🚤 And Captain Yankee—wishing you and your fiancée all the best! ❤️

Excellent Canal Tour

Mare was our boat captain and tour guide. She took great care of everyone and was a wonderful historian and educator of Dutch culture. She even accommodated our collapsible wheel chair which was very helpful and appreciated. There were approximately a dozen guests on board which was comfortable and fun. The hors d’oeuvres and beverages were well done. You won’t go wrong booking this trip.

Van Gogh Museum with Audio guide

Hank_O, Sept 2026

The museum is very nice...

The museum is very nice and well laid out. All the people working there were very helpful as well!! For me however, it was very very busy and I would rather pay more money for tickets if they could limit the amount of people that are allowed to go in. That would make it a much nicer experience. For some of the more popular paintings, there was a gathering of say 20-30 people that would stand and take selfies in front of the picture and it was difficult to appreciate the paintings with everyone trying to get into a position to see the painting and take their selfie.

Amsterdam Canal Cruise in Open Boat with Unlimited Drinks Option

K_Z, Aug 2026

Beautiful canal cruise with an amazing captain Chris. Loved the beauty, the views and a smooth ride.

We were fortunate with a sunny venture. Located near lovers canal cruise this is a smaller group just across the roadway. The boat was comfortable although they do put as many passengers as will fit (reasonably) this boat did not have a covering which could be problematic in weather. SKIP the beverage add on. We did not do it but I never saw those that did have more than a beer which would have been grossly overpriced. Our captain Chris was hands down amazing. Knowledgeable, humorous, easy to understand and just made the venture a pleasure. Enjoyed every minute wishing it would have gone on and on. No tides or ripple. Super smooth.

Amsterdam Canal Cruise Departure from Anne Frank House

Mark_M, Jul 2026

What boat do we go to?

The meeting point is not in front of the Anne Frank house. It is on the canal, and no one has any idenity from Viator. There are several cruise services. We asked the first one we came to who had a check in booth. The ticket we had did not have the tour company, so we had to search our old e-mails to find the tour operator. She was able to point us in the right direction for that tour operator. After that debacle, we boarded our boat and it was very informative and relaxing.

Kim_R, May 2026

Full day tour from amsterdam

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.
