Amsterdam Food and Cultural Tour with 10 Tastings

Jennifer_F, Sept 2026

Amazing Food Tour - Amsterdam

Our Amsterdam food tour with Roman was amazing! The menu was well chosen and delicious. We came away full, in the best possible way. We learned a lot about the city and tasted dishes that we wouldn't have tried on our own. Would highly recommend this tour.

Great tour to the countryside

Great and comfortable trip to the countryside to see windmills and how clogs are made as well as to try Dutch cheeses.

Sven_G, Sept 2026

Awesome tour with Martinas

I was very happy with the tour. I particularly want to point out that Martinas did an excellent job of making the tour relevant and giving in-depth information about the locations and the significance of the experience of the very dark period of history. Her knowledge and passion were part of what made the tour special. I would recommend this to anyone.

A don’t miss!

What a great trip. Captain Storm was knowledgeable and funny and his boat was set up with appetizers and the bar was flowing. He took the time to stop and pick up the BEST bitterballen you will ever have. Try to take the nighttime cruise, you won’t be disappointed!

Don’t hesitate to book this!

Santiago was a terrific guide for all passengers, and he was very impressive as he could communicate in multiple languages. We were not rushed and got to try a little bit of all that Zaanse Shans had to offer. Transportation, instructions about how to meet our guide, ease of booking, payment method was all outstanding.

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

Mary_B, Sept 2026

Captain Jack's A1 AMSTERDAM CANAL CRUISE is my top recommendation sightseeing experience in Amsterdam E

We had a wonderful canal cruise with the Captain Jack cruise company. Lon, our boat driver and tour leader, was excellent. His background history of Amsterdam helped the city come alive and really filled out my understanding of its importance in world history. Lon also included lots of personal and sometimes funny anecdotes to further help us understand the city's importance. The drinks and Dutch treats were a nice touch and appreciated by everyone. My husband and I also enjoyed the open air experience of the tour, which made it possible to clearly see important sites.

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! 🚤🇳🇱❤️

Great time, very casual, good accommodations.

Great relaxing cruise. Super friendly and accommodating crew. The captain was a great host and a very smooth operator. You could tell he has had time on the water. Cruise itinerary was cool, saw lots of neat stuff. Plenty of ash trays. Cold drinks served, light music between information and landmarks. Top notch would definitely do again and recommend.

Rijksmuseum Amsterdam Small-Group Tour with Private Upgrade

Karin_V, Sept 2026

We decided to do this...

We decided to do this tour late into our trip planning process and are so happy we did! The museum is huge and we wanted to be sure to see the highlights of it as our time was a little limited. Our guide was great! I can’t remember his name but he was very knowledgeable, friendly and gave us a great tour.

Amsterdam Canal Cruise in Open Boat with Unlimited Drinks Option

Aileen_G, Aug 2026

Learned a lot and had fun!!

We took an evening boat tour and it was lovely! Our captain and guide, Nunzio, was a fantastic storyteller and made the tour all the more fun. We got to see the two smallest houses in Amsterdam and learned a lot about the city design and architecture. There were drinks for sale, which we didn’t have, but I appreciated the option - beer, wine, soda, and water. It was very hot on the day we took our tour so it was a bit uncomfortable for the first 15-20 min until the sun went down a bit. The boat provides some umbrellas for shade which was a nice touch.

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!
