Amsterdam Tours

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.

Awesome experience. We were very lucky to have the sun out in this gloomier season, while enjoying the sights of Zaans Schans and Giethoorn at its fullest. The tour guide is not only knowledgable, witty and patient, he is also an all in one, being our minivan driver and our boat tour driver at the same time throughout this whole tour. Highly recommended if you are looking for a relaxing tour.

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.

This tour exceeded all our expectations, and a big part of that was our amazing guide, Holly. She didn’t just introduce the attractions themselves, but went much deeper—sharing the historical background, cultural context, and everyday stories behind Dutch history, including details about local life, traditions, and even food like cheese and butter. As foreign visitors, Holly helped us truly understand the Netherlands, not just see it. Her explanations made every stop meaningful rather than just a photo opportunity. The tour felt thoughtful, well-paced, and incredibly informative. Highly recommended for anyone who wants more than a standard sightseeing tour. This was an authentic and enriching experience.

Van Gogh museum - worth to view. for canal cruise - can skip

Peter was a really wonderful tour guide and driver! He provides every little info we needed to know about the tour and the location. During our 4 hours of bus round trip, he didn’t rest at all but kept providing us useful info with soft and low voice which are perfect for both those who want to listen and rest at the same time!

Wybe Rood was my tour guide. He was excellent in his explanations and the stories he told were both informative and personal. His shared from his heart, sometimes even with tears welling up in his eyes. I highly recommend this tour before visiting the actual Ann Frank House.

Our guide Pete was very kind, professional and enthusiastic about the places on the itinerary. He gave us a lot of information about Amsterdam, city life, economy, tourism, history and also enough information about the places on the program. He knew very well what he was serving. Tour was very well organized also, not too many people in the group, we enjoyed really too much. I advice this tour to anybody else. And if you get Pete as a guide and a driver, your day will be more fun!

I liked the tour very much. The tour guide Ian guided us very well from the start. He took us to all the important places. Overall, it was fun and highly recommend this tour.
