Stacey_S, Aug 2026

The bike ride was...

The bike ride was beautiful, but definitely a little chaotic getting out of the city! Especially with our 12-year-old. Once out of the city, the landscapes are beautiful and the villages we toured were very charming. Our tour guide is incredibly knowledgeable and very kind and interesting. I do recommend a smaller tour groups with kids.

It’s so much more than just the delicious food!

The Amsterdam food tour was a lot more interesting than I expected! Not only did we sample 5 different regional favorites, the foods tied into the local and national history and took us through some of the most scenic streets of old Amsterdam. Our guide Andy was extraordinary- inviting, engaging and very knowledgeable!

This was a great tour- I liked that we didn’t go to too busy of tourist spots- we went to a local cafe for our half way break. We biked through picturesque farmlands and learned a lot of about the dams and terrain. Would definitely encourage friends to go. William was a great guide. Thank you!

Escape Amsterdam: E-Bike to Zaanse Schans Windmills & Zaandam

Justin_R, Jun 2026

What a fantastic day out!...

What a fantastic day out! This experience was an absolute highlight of our time in Amsterdam. It was great to see and experience some working windmills, and the city of Zandaam. Doing it by e-bike made it even more memorable. Those Amsterdames are super organised, and the bikes are in top condition too. Our guide Petra was great fun, super enthusiastic, and had such great knowledge and insights to share. I can’t recommend this highly enough.

Guide Anita Gosschalk Liemburg is excellent!

It lasted just the right amount of time. I wanted to learn more about Van Gough, but did not want a PhD in him. Anita Gosschalk Liemburg, our guide did a wonderful presentation with just enough information. She has extensive experience working for the museum before becoming a guide.

Very enjoyable experience, the time in the gardens was just perfect, not too long, not too short. Good time to wander around and have lunch there. The visit to the windmills was also very unique experience with plenty of time to enjoy the different shops, learn the history of the place and take some wonderful photos!

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.

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!

Amsterdam: Red Light District Bar Crawl

We had such a great experience on this bar crawl! It was super interactive, and you were actually able to get to know people within your group because the hosts would initiate conversations or games amongst the group. This is great for a solo traveller who wants to make friends or even groups of people who want to make more friends. Andre, Tay, and Soraya were amazing hosts! Would highly recommend this bar crawl if you’re ever in Amsterdam.
