What are people saying about Amsterdam

William_M, May 2026

Fantastic Amsterdam tour with Sergio!

Really cool tour with Sergio today. His energy and passion made the tour a lot of fun. Amsterdam doesn't have a lot of monuments so this was a little different than what you would normally get on a city tour. Sergio did a great job leaning into that and really did a great job explaining how the city came to be what it is today. We would definitely recommend the tour and Sergio to anyone looking for a great tour of Amsterdam.

Amsterdam: Keukenhof Entry & Shuttle Bus with Flexible Return

Teresa_D, May 2026

We went with This Is...

We went with This Is Holland Hop on Hop Off tour company. Very easy to find the meeting point In Amsterdam. Was easy to find them afterwards in a sea of tour buses. The gardens itself was phenomenal and wished we were there several days earlier but we were on a cruise. I highly recommend going to the gardens.

Amsterdam: Keukenhof, Zaanse Schans Windmills, Cheese Guided Tour

Lisa_P, May 2026

Beauty Beyond Belief

Of course, touring the clog and cheese making “spots” were informative and fun (and tasty for the cheese!), BUT the highlight for us was touring the Keukenhof Gardens!! We are avid gardeners, so this was just a treat! The gardens were everything we had read about and more. Yes, it was the end of the “season” and the fields had been dead-headed, but the staff had it looking like it could’ve been Day One with color-color-color everywhere! The creativity of the designers in the various pavilions, and the phenomenal work of the 30 gardeners employed to create this masterpiece were beyond impressive in our opinion. Yolanda and Daniel were the perfect team to get us from place to place safely. Along the way, Yolanda provided just the right amount of educational and interesting narration for our group, though “Whispers” would have really been appreciated when we weren’t on the bus with that PA system. (These assure that all participants get all the info including when/where to meet or any change of plans that needs to be communicated.) For visitors who want to have “a taste of Amsterdam,” we would highly recommend this tour since it showcases three things Amsterdam’s known for. We also felt there was plenty of time spent at each stop. Another ⭐️ in the Viator crown in our opinion! (For us the meeting place to begin the tour - near the Central Station - was about a 10-15 minute walk from our hotel. We did go there the day before to confirm it was the correct place.)

Get outside Amsterdam and learn more about the country!!

Loved the smaller group and Alex made everyone feel very comfortable. We had a wide range of ages and he made sure that everyone had the best time. It’s a packed day but the time was nicely paced and there was adequate time at each stop. The history behind each stop and also the current happenings in The Netherlands were all explained clearly. Alex did a great job!

A lovely morning at...

A lovely morning at Kuekenhof Gardens. Well organised from picking up the tickets at the Tours and Tickets in Amsterdam Station and transfer by coach from just ouside the station to the Gardens. Best to get there early before the crowds build up. The Gardens were lovely and tulip displays were impressive. Transfer back to Amsterdam was timely and comfortable. A good visit!

Giethoorn, Zaanse Schans Windmills Guided Day Trip from Amsterdam

jay_n, Apr 2026

Wonderful Giethoorn Day TrIp

I joined the Giethoorn, Zaanse Schans Windmills Guided Day Trip from Amsterdam and it exceeded my expectations. Our guide was absolutely outstanding – very attentive and caring, always checking on each person in the group and explaining everything clearly at every stop. He gave commentary throughout the 10.5‑hour journey, making the long drive feel fun and engaging instead of tiring. He even arranged an extra stop at a tulip field outside the original program, which was a wonderful surprise and made the day even more special. The driver was also very dedicated and friendly, driving safely the whole way and helping everyone get on and off the bus comfortably. I felt well taken care of from the moment we left Amsterdam until we returned. Overall, both the guide and the driver were kind, professional, and created a warm, enjoyable atmosphere for the whole group. I highly recommend this tour if you want to discover Giethoorn and Zaanse Schans in a relaxed and memorable way.

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.

Good value & time well spent

Leidse, our guide was knowledgeable & an excellent driver. I liked all three stops- Rotterdam, Delft and The Hague, but wish we could have seen more about the world court. This excursion was a great way to see more of The Netherlands without renting a car. Good value & time well spent
