What are people saying about Amsterdam

Sheila_M, Oct 2026

A Fascinating Look at Amsterdam with an Outstanding Guide 🇳🇱☔❤️

Excellent Tour Despite the Rain! Despite the soaking rain, this tour was one of the highlights of our time in Amsterdam. Our guide, Robin, did a fantastic job explaining the unique story of Dutch tolerance, the history and evolution of the Red Light District, and the role coffee shops play in Amsterdam's culture. What could have been a controversial topic was presented in a thoughtful, educational, and respectful way. Robin was knowledgeable, engaging, and had a great sense of humor. We especially enjoyed the insider information and local perspectives he shared about Amsterdam and Dutch society. He brought the city to life and helped us understand the history and culture behind what many visitors only see on the surface. Even with the rain, we stayed engaged from start to finish and learned far more than we expected. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Amsterdam. If you're fortunate enough to have Robin as your guide, you're in for an informative, fascinating, and memorable experience. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fantastic captain, great commentary, and delicious food & drink!

Wonderful canal ride around Amsterdam! Sebi, our captain and host, was fantastic, providing just the right amount of background and history to make the sights come alive. The food and beverages were fantastic, fresh, and enjoyable. (Sebi even stopped at one point to pick up freshly prepared food from a restaurant along the way.) We had a great time with the other guests, too! We definitely recommend this tour.

Simon was a great guide,...

Simon was a great guide, adapted to the groups different needs, and we had such a fun time. The only thing I would consider for shorter people, that their smallest bike was big for my family member which made it a little challenging for her to get on and off.

Zaanse Schans, Edam, Volendam and Marken Tour

Amjad_A, Sept 2026

Just amazing

Just amazing! Took the English tour on 30-Sep. Started at 9:30 and returned around 17:30, and was lucky to have Amna as the guide and Ness as the gentleman looking after everyone. Quick highlights * Generally, the time allocation is sufficient. Maybe Zaanse schans deserves a longer duration. It is heaven. * The guide - Amna - was very knowledgeable, Friendly, engaging and fluent. * The suggested restaurant for Volendam's lunch was great and has 4+ star rating in Google. It wasn't just a referral partnership which is worth mentioning. * Special thanks To Ness for always taking an extra mile to create positive customer experience.

Sunset Canal Cruise

We booked the sunset cruise. Our captain, Paap was so knowledgeable, sharing both the history and love for his country. It rained quite hard and we were so pleased that the boat was covered and we weren’t getting soaked as some of the participants on other tour boats were. Our boat was comfortable and Paap provided nice small touches; the warm blankets were the best! We had a great evening and got lots of recommendations for places to visit during our stay. Highly recommend this small private tour!

Amsterdam Highlights Bike or E-Bike Tour

E-Bike for us

We went on an e-bike tour today, and it was so much fun! Our group was pretty small, which made it feel nice and quaint. Katya was our tour guide, and she was so energetic, knowledgeable, and full of interesting information. She asked us if there was anything special we wanted to see, which made the tour feel somewhat customized. One of the highlights for me was visiting the Holocaust Memorial. It was a very emotional experience, especially for me personally. Katya also took us to a wonderful market where we tasted some amazing cheese and had the best herring I have ever had! Everything was delicious. All in all, this was a fantastic tour, and I highly recommend it. If you book this tour, I would definitely ask for Katya. She made the experience so enjoyable and memorable!

My husband and I joined the 5 hour Rijk and Van Gogh museums with Monique as our guide. It was a long time to be on our feet and Monique was constantly checking to see if we were okay. She was extremely informative and enthusiastic and at no time in the 5 hours did her enthusiasm wane. She truly made the tour most memorable

Highly Recommend! Netherlands Essential

This was hands down worth every penny! It was an awesome reprieve from the city, and Jay was the most incredible tour guide. He was hilarious, kind, and even took our bus for an unplanned stop at a lovely farm market. I would recommend to anyone traveling to Amsterdam!

Great intro to Amsterdam

I did this tour on my first day in Amsterdam and it was a great way to get my bearings in the city and get ideas of areas I wanted to come back to. It was a small group of 4 of us and our guide was very welcoming. I appreciated being taken to small local shops that didn't feel touristy. Highly recommend

Private Tour: Amsterdam City Walking Tour and Canal Cruise

Tommy_O, Mar 2026

Our tour with Eveline...

Our tour with Eveline went well. She picked us up at our hotel and walked us through central Amsterdam. We could have taken better advantage of the private tour by making a list of sites we wanted to see, but she was still able to take us to the highlights even without such a list and get us to the canal tour at the end of the tour on time.
