What are people saying about Amsterdam

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

Allison_S, Aug 2026

Wonderful Tour

I highly recommend this tour! Richard is a great tour guide with an awesome sense of humor. I was nervous since this would be my first time traveling abroad by myself, but this tour was perfect for me. I met some wonderful people and really enjoyed myself. Thank you Richard and Stefan for a great experience!

Amsterdam Food and Cultural Tour with 10 Tastings

Stuart_H, Aug 2026

Loads if food!

This was a fantastic tour with lots of tasty food and historical information, we saw things we would never have seen had our guide David not shown us. I had lost of Dutch fries on our trip but the ones David gave us as we sat by the canal were by far the best, skin on double fried, amazing!

Amsterdam Anne Frank Small-Group Guided Walking Tour

Mark_F, Aug 2026

Impressively executed walking tour for such a sensitive topic

My wife and I very much enjoyed this walking tour provided by Ollie, a young man formerly of the UK, who now makes Amsterdam his home. It’s a challenging topic as there are a number of sad passages, albeit interspersed with heroism, stealth, and unflinching hope. Ollie sustained our attention with his in-depth knowledge of the Frank family, and the clever steps taken to go into hiding and evade deportation for quite some time. He executes this with outmost respect for this sensitive topic. Ollie also shared extensive knowledge about Anne Frank, including her aspirations to become an accomplished writer independently of the topic of the war, and the unexpected need to go into hiding. How several versions of the book concerning her diary came into publication and gained widespread readership is a standalone topic of interest. Having both read the book as part of our school curriculum many years ago, we appreciated understanding the bigger picture.

Amsterdam Small-Group Canal Cruise Including Snacks and Drinks

Valerie_V, Aug 2026

We loved this Canal Cruise so much we did it AGAIN the next day!

We are RAVING FANS! We enjoyed Captain Philip, a 23 year old Masters History student in Amsterdam (works Saturdays). Is a wealth of knowledge regarding the Netherlands, Holland and the city of Amsterdam as well as the canal & building history. It is a ‘serve yourself’ (wine, beer, and try the Jenever Dutch Gin) and they stop about 15 minutes in to a local restaurant to grab hot, fresh bitterballen to eat while you cruise along with cheese, grapes and mini stroopwaffles. It is so fun, you will meet all kinds of people and this tour is 2 HOURS instead of most the others which are 1 hour.

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

aaron_c, Aug 2026

A must do if in Amsterdam

Sharon was an absolutely delightful person. She really made this experience so wonderful, even with the temperature fairly hot! If you are thinking this seems like a "touristy" thing to do, it is! But that's exactly why you need to do it! You are in Amsterdam--see how they make wooden shoes, taste some fantastic cheese, and the cherry on top is really seeing a functional windmill. Kids thought is was so cool.

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

Laura_M, Aug 2026

A great way to learn about the city

A really informative and relaxed way to see Amsterdam from a different viewpoint. So much more peaceful than touring on foot, and with the knowledge and good humour of our guide Menno, we learned a lot about all sorts of aspects of the city, with plenty of opportunities to ask questions. The drinks and snacks were great too.

Amsterdam Canal Cruise With Live Guide and Unlimited Drinks

Karen_R, Aug 2026

Amsterdam canal cruise

Canal tour. Lasted an hour. Very chilled. No hard sell for the drinks etc, and few well timed highlights pointed out. Good for orientating us to the city. Open topped with no shade or cover so worth bearing in mind if raining or very sunny. We went in the evening so the temperature was perfect.

Van Gogh Museum with Audio guide

Belinda_N, Aug 2026

Highly Recommend

Highly recommend!! A beautiful museum. One note though - we paid extra for the audio guide. Even though we chose to do the extensive audio guide tour, the extra money was not worth the audio guide. Most of what's on the audio guide tour is already written on the walls. There's no need to pay extra for the audio guide tour. Aside from that, the experience was absolutely perfect. We love Van Gogh.

Evening canal cruise for 1 hr

We went on an evening tour (6.30-7.30) with Mo as our guide. The pin on the map doesn’t land right next to the KIN boat company dock but around 100yrds down near the Stromma stop (which is wrong). We found it eventually! We had a lovely welcome drink, a great spot on the boat and it wasn’t too busy. Mo was really knowledgeable and spoke the perfect amount about interesting stuff!

Great way to see a lovely city!

This was a wonderful tour of Amsterdam, and our guide was so knowledgeable and informative as he showed us his beautiful city. The boat was comfortable and lovely. He provided delicious snacks and drinks were available at a small charge. We would highly recommend this cruise!

Amsterdam Canal Cruise with Local Guide and Small Group

Maria_R, Jun 2026

Best Boat Tour in Amsterdam!!🛥️❤️

Fantastic boat tour around Amsterdam. Captain Sebastiano and Gabby were really friendly, shared lots of knowledge and stories as we travelled, and made us laugh a lot. It was a small tour with only 8 of us which felt really personal and relaxed. Drinks were very reasonably priced and tasty (highly recommend the aperol spritz!). Definitely book this tour over one of the bigger boat ones. (Also very glad to have an open boat rather than enclosed in this hot weather!). Thank you so much for such a brilliant tour 😊☀️

Amsterdam Canal Cruise Departure from Anne Frank House

Galen_H, May 2026

The cruise was very...

The cruise was very satisfying in terms of what I expected. The guide was funny and allowed me to bring my pizza on the boat because I hadn’t had a chance to eat all day, which saved my life. The location of departure was not as listed: it was from Amsterdam Centraal area and not near the Anne Frank House. However, the address provided on my ticket sufficed to get me to right place just in time, so it wasn’t a problem for me. Just a note.
