The tour was very nice Our tour guide Julian was very nice The bus driver Carlos was remarkable The tour guide was professional and informative Amsterdam was excellent
The experience was good, but the bus did not have a restroom and for many hours of driving they should definitely have a toilet. Other than that it’s good
The travel time took more than 1/2 of the entire trip. It was ok for my family since we could see one more place in a short stay in Brussels.
All things went smoothly and the tour guy was good.
We had booked a tour to Amsterdam in English but for some reasons we got put on the same bus as the Spanish speaking group. Small English group. She did communicate in both languages but it became more and more long explanation sessions in Spanish and pretty short in English. Even at times, she would inform us in English about something we had gone by or did not even translate to English after the explanation in Spanish. We felt awkward and it dampened our trip. I feel Viator tour should give me half my money back.
It was a wonderful experience to see the place. It was incredible feeling that this was just only a bucket list but it was now fulfilled. My family and I were so happy.
Antonio is also a very knowledgeable with the place and he’s a nice guy.
Despite some minor issues with the local guide in Amsterdam, the overall experience was fantastic and well organized. Our guide from Brussels was assertive, understanding and extremely helpful, making every effort to ensure that delays did not affect us. She was always available to answer questions and provide recommendations.
Do not recommend. Poorly planned. Would have been better to just book train tickets and go on your own.
Buses didn’t have bathrooms but they do stop at a gas station half way for a bathroom stop both going to and returning.
Fabulous trip!
The time in the schedule for exploring on your own was perfect. The guide was great and very knowledgeable.
The host was very knowledgeable and articulate. Note that there is a 2+ hour (with bathroom stops) coach ride to and from Amsterdam which can seem long. The boat ride in Amsterdam was great and we had sufficient free time to roam afterwards. For first-timers to Amsterdam, this is a must-do.
Antonio is very energetic and entertaining The boat ride was highlight of trip, it is the best way to see Amsterdam.
It was a good place to visit on a one day tour. The guide provided good background information. The place to meet to return to the hotel was a bit out of the way.
We really enjoyed this trip.
The bus trip was long (as expected) but very good thanks to Victor and Antonio.
We enjoyed the canal cruise. The amount of free time was good, wish I had a more current map, some sidewalks were under construction and hard to navigate.
Antonio had some good recommendations for sights and eats.
A long day but totally worth it!
Our tour guide, Pablo, was incredible! Super nice guy, very charismatic, and VERY knowledgeable! He shared a document of recommended sight-seeing with the group. I would 100000% go on another tour with Pablo!

We had Jaris for our tour and he was great! Yes, this is a bilingual tour, but Jaris did an excellent job balancing the two languages. There was traffic, so we were delayed getting to Amsterdam, which made us miss the walking portion of the trip because we had tickets to the Anne Frank museum (booked in advance). Overall, it was quite rushed, but a decent way to see a glimpse of Amsterdam.
I requested english tour, but it was mostly spanish group and tour guide was oriented on spanish speakers.Generally tour was pretty good .
Terrible experience, the tour guide would not shut up.
Amsterdam is a filthy place with trash everyone’s the streets. Lots of it
Check the weather, as Amsterdam is on a canal and the walk from the tour bus is along the water. Also carry your own water, restaurants do not offer free water
English and Spanish.
Besides guided spoke other languages
Only negative point was that a physical map was not given only download.
For those without internet it is a problem.
For other tour maps were given
Great tour with our tour guide Harris. Very informative. The tour started on time and was very professional.
Excellent balance of guided and not to explore Amsterdam! Oscar was a great, knowledgeable guide. The canal boat trip was a perfect way to start the visit.
Organised well and fantastic tour guide
Nice stories and value for money
I am happy and will look forward to travel with this organization again
Antonio is wonderful, funny and gave us the tour in both Spanish and English. It wasn’t an easy task at all but he did it so well. On our free time, we tried the canal museum as he recommended and it was amazing. Great way to learn about the city’s canals. Thank you Antonio. Lovely time on the canal cruise as well.
It was a great day trip. Had some time with the guide and a lot of time to walk around on our own. The map and suggestions were great and, while we used some of those suggestions, we found a lot of interesting places on our own. Hit a lot of traffic on our way but still had time to explore.
Long day! The return was 5 hours on the bus. So in total 8 1/2 hrs on the bus.
Our guide was both Spanish and English but leaned heavily on Spanish so didn’t feel we had a lot of information in comparison.
Enjoyed the city. Walkable to most things we wanted to see.
The boat was nice way to see the city albeit the guide didn’t seem to provide much English dialogue.
Our tour guy was friendly..we had fun and enjoyed . And we went all around in the Amsterdam . What a nice place!
Our guide Antonio was great and very knowledgeable. Unfortunately the travel time to and from Brussels takes up too much time leaving us very little time to enjoy the city. Also, where the bus meet us on the way back is kind of far taking up more of the time there. To really enjoy this city I would have to come back on my own.
Amsterdam was great. The day trip was well organised and enjoyable.
Learnt a lot about Amsterdam that we didn’t know before.
