Things to do in Amsterdam

We really enjoyed the tour, Pedro & Gabriella were very kind and inviting, telling us many facts about the canals and the history of Amsterdam. The weather was unexpected, but we were given ponchos and we were able to keep them. Overall a good experience, and very worth it.

I spent 5 hours in this Museum. To understand more about Vincent Van Gough. Anyway, go and no regret and worth to do so. The museum is amazing to attract me to spend time and think more about my life.

The museum is very big! The audio guide was very helpful. I did the highlight tour which allowed me to cover the key areas in my first visit within a reasonable time!

The entire experience was fantastic! At Zaanse Schans, we watched the manufacturing process of Dutch wooden shoes and cheese, and even got free cheese samples. We bought plenty of souvenirs, and afterward, we enjoyed the beautiful harbor scenery and took photos with the large windmills! So many wonderful memories! The tour guide was also very thoughtful and helped every traveler take pictures. We had a brief 30-minute stop at the LEGO village, which was a small but very photogenic spot, and Zaandam is a beautiful fairytale town! Afterward, we drove to the highly anticipated Giethoorn. We had lunch first, then took a canal boat tour through the entire picturesque village, with a boatman providing commentary and the tour guide translating. The whole experience was 100% perfect! We then had some free time to walk around and take photos. It was an amazing experience, though unfortunately, time flew by, and we wished we had more!

Extremely satisfied! The itinerary was perfectly planned. Our driver and tour guide was very humorous, chatting and greeting everyone. His driving was also very reassuring. We had a 1-hour boat tour in Giethoorn, plus nearly 3 hours of free time, which was more than enough. We were able to explore at a leisurely pace and still had time to enjoy a drink and a snack. We were also given a complimentary drink, redeemable at the cheese shop.

I was very happy to visit the brewery and enjoy the various Heineken beers. Whether you had a ticket or not, everyone lined up in the same queue first. After entering the main hall, if you didn't have a ticket, you could buy one on the spot. If you had a ticket, you could continue queuing directly. At the same time, you could go to the cloakroom to store your luggage for free. We stored all our winter down jackets, beanies, and backpacks. Afterwards, they began explaining the history, ingredients, and brewing process of the beer. The package already included two beers; the first was after bottling, and the second was at the last station. After finishing the second beer, you could then proceed to the souvenir shop and leave.

First of all, this trip is definitely worth the bucks! There were multiple stops including the windmill, cheese factory, Edam, Volendam & Marken Tour. Personally found that the time in the windmill area was extremely tight, after a few photoshoot we barely had anytime to visit the stores, however places like Edam & Marken Tour I found it a little waste of time as the tour guide stopped and share historic moments in these areas, some of the explanations could’ve been done in the bus ride to reduce time in those area, which were pretty dull. Volendam was an interesting area where we had our lunch recommended by the guide, also more time could be allocated here but overall it was still pleasant. The cheese factory had a nice Dutch Lady sharing how the cheese was processed, there were a good range of cheese for purchase afterward. highly recommended
