What are people saying about Amsterdam

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

Megan_G, Oct 2026

Clogs, Cheese and Windmills!

Really great walking tour - was fortunate that not only was our tour guide knowledgeable, but she also was born there! She grew up there and still lives there today which gave her such an amazing point of view. She shared the history and heritage of the buildings and the industry, but could also convey what life was like as she’s explained some of it first hand growing up in the houses ay the location. Enjoyed all the tour stops and learned a ton - would definitely recommend!

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

Gary_L, Oct 2026

Excellent Canal Experience

Great way to see the canal district. Captain Jack boats are either open roofed during summer or closed roofed during rain, which is convenient. The narration is excellent and we met new friends from around the world on the boat. We got the full package which included drinks, including beer, and snacks.

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

andrew_m, Oct 2026

Wonderful

This was a brilliant way to spend the day. Really got a sense of the Netherlands countryside. which was very beautiful interesting day, excellent guide. Highly recommended . Just be careful on the pick up point. Maps shows the street at the side with a street number but you want to be on the other side next to the water where all the buses are better instructions are in the “read more” part of the pick up info. ..told it’s a gps issue

Giovanni was wonderful guide

Giovanni was an excellent guide! My husband and I went on the Oct 14th tour at 9:30am. Giovanni was very passionate about art and helped to keep the small group together. He was very knowledgeable and navigated the museum well. We learned a lot about the Dutch masters and the restoration of the Night Watch painting. We would recommend Giovanni to other visitors. Lovely museum.

Amsterdam Anne Frank Small-Group Guided Walking Tour

Ed_L, Oct 2026

Walking tour

This was a walking experience through the Jewish area of Amsterdam. Claire, our guide, was amazing even though it was a rainy day! She was positive and very informative as well as accommodating for our group. I misread and did not realize this tour did not include a tour of the house, but that's on me not the guide or this tour! Lasted 2 hours and showed a great experience walking through town!

Amsterdam Canal Cruise Departure from Anne Frank House

Bef_K, Sept 2026

A Fantastic Amsterdam Canal Cruise – Highly Recommended! 🚤⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We had a fantastic canal cruise in Amsterdam on Tuesday, 15 September 2026. It was one of the highlights of our trip and definitely one of the best experiences we had in Amsterdam. Our lady captain was absolutely fantastic — very friendly, professional and cool. She had a beautiful English accent and gave us lots of interesting information about Amsterdam’s history, as well as recent events and interesting places and venues around the city. We really enjoyed every minute of the cruise and would definitely recommend this tour to our family and friends. A big thank you to the captain and the Viator team for such a wonderful experience! 🚤🇳🇱❤️

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.

Van Gogh Museum with Audio guide

Darlene_F, Aug 2026

A day at Van Gogh Museum !

It was a great experience. We had the self guided tour which we paid in advance. If you did not you would need to pay for the audio equipment at the museum. The self guided y Tour was very easy to navigate. It’s crowded but you can’t get lost. We learned a lot about Van Gough life. To see the art collection up and close was amazing! The gift shops are great. Make sure you bring money for souvenirs!

Amsterdam: Keukenhof Entry & Shuttle Bus with Flexible Return

lauren_l, Jun 2026

A wonderful day trip from Amsterdam

The tour agency was located conveniently near the train station so it was easy to get to. The round trip bus ride made the keukenhoff an easy day trip from the Amsterdam city center. It was early in the season to see the flowers, but there was still a lot bloomed and we had a wonderful time!
