Things to do in Amsterdam

Tickets and tour vouchers were easily obtained. The station staff directed us to Platform B to wait for the tour guide to lead us onto the bus. Sitting upstairs on the double-decker bus provided a better view for the journey. The first stop was Afsluitdijk for a brief 30-minute stay, to learn about the Dutch dam engineering technology that balances the separation of sea and land. The second stop was Giethoorn, first with a traditional 1-hour boat ride, followed by a very generous 2.5 hours of free time to stroll along the small bridges and waterways. Overall, a very satisfying experience, recommended for travelers who don't want to go on their own but want to spend more time in Giethoorn.

We visited the 3 places and feel that there was not enough time given to Zaanse Schans. There was a presentation at each of the locations but due to photo opportunities at Zaanse Schans windmills, there was not enough time to visit the shops for sounvenirs. Would suggest to cutback time at Volendam as there was more than enough time to take lunch and visit the shops. Although Marken itself is interesting, there is not much to see while taking the boat from Volendam to Marken. Truly enjoyed the tour and is highly recommend.

The museum visit is an absolute must! The art was absolutely stunning and the experience was well organized! My only critique was the boat trip. It wasn’t clear in the instructions on the voucher where and which company to go to. No one at the museum knew as well. So we unfortunately did not get to do it :(

We love our tour guide Rainier, he was bubbly, friendly, happy, knowledgable and experienced tour guide. how we wish all tour guides are like him :) He was a good driver as well. We really enjoyed this tour. The weather was great thus making the trip more memorable. Highly recommended!

Had a great time at the canal cruise. It’s a must to do when in Amsterdam. The cruise guide explained and pointed out what to watch out for. The meet up location is easy to find.

We had such a heartfelt experience at the Van Gogh Museum. Everything was smooth from the start, easy to get to, ticket just scanned instantly, and even the cloakroom was super organized. The museum itself is beautifully laid out, you really feel like you’re walking through Van Gogh’s life, seeing both his rise and the bittersweet decline in his later works. We also loved the temporary exhibit and the little area where you can sit and draw for a moment and feel a bit like Van Gogh yourself. The whole visit was moving, calming, and absolutely worth the price. It’s one of those places that stays with you long after you leave.

Fun and educational to learn about the history of Heineken which originated from Netherlands and the tour place is the original brewery. Interactive games, free digital pics and even get to customise your beer bottles (with costs!

I am not a museum person but I really learned a lot visiting the Rijksmuseum. Dont miss this when you visit amsterdam

The day was very windy but the staff were extremely nice and considerate. The voucher itself had drinks and photo included and quite worth the money spent
