    A great tour of Amsterdam
    This was a great tour of Amsterdam. It was not a history lesson, but rather, a very entertaining experience filled with interesting fun facts about Amsterdam. Gert and Fran we're excellent boat hosts. Kudos to you, gentlemen.

    Amazing tour full of history and amazing sights
    Holly was an excellent tour guide. She has so much knowledge on Anne Frank and WWII it was so interesting to listen to the stories and be shown around Amsterdam. We had already done the Anne Frank house prior but got so much more additional information as well as viewing the holocaust monument and Anne Frank statue which we’d never of seen or known without her guidance. It was a really enjoyable tour and we learned so much from it. Thank you so much one of the best tours we’d done whilst visiting Amsterdam

    Perfectly orchestrated, flawless tour on a comfortable bus
    We left Amsterdam right on time with a full bus, and the entire day was perfectly orchestrated. Terrific, professional tour guide with lots of thoughtful, interesting commentary about the sights and history of all the places we visited. Very responsive to answer questions when asked. I was really excited about the chance to see more of the Netherlands than just Amsterdam, but with a 3-day vacation, you don't want to waste time. This was the perfect mini-break from the city and made me want to come back to see more someday.

    Solo trip to the museum
    It was my first time going anywhere alone, I found it really nice and the layout was well done too! I didn’t realise I didn’t select to include the audio guide but they gave me one anyway! Managed to spend almost 2 hours there by myself, I’d say it was worth it!

    Volendam, Marken and Zaanse Schans tour
    This was a nice way to see historic rural areas of Holland. I wanted to see the old windmills and get out of the Amsterdam hustle and bustle for a day. The bus driver was very competent. The guides were knowledgeable and very friendly. (Also multilingual) I opted for the 5 hour trip which included 3 stops, 3 presentations, and a boat ride across the man made lake. I did enjoy the 30 minute boat ride. The wooden shoe presentation was good, but the venue is very small and they crammed our entire bus of people in a very small space. I couldn’t see very well. A similar situation at the cheese presentation. Very tight space and a lot of people. I didn’t do the stroopwaffle presentation at the end because I just didn’t want to be squeezed into another tight spot. The working windmill presentation was amazing to see. The guides did take us to a great local spot in Volendam to get a late lunch which was very reasonably priced and the food quality and service was excellent. So even though I was critical of the touristy type presentations and tight locations- this trip was worth the price in my opinion. The tour guides place priority on the customer’s safety (there is quite a bit of group walking) and satisfaction. It was overall an enjoyable experience.

    So informative. Had a great progression of Van Gogh’s work & life.
    My 16 year old and I went. Amazing experience. Getting the self guided audio tour was worth it. Learned so much about Vincent Van Gogh. The explanation of his influences, ambition for education in his craft & the progression of his technique was wonderful. He was truly exceptional. As a human, we all know he was troubled, but the tour is sensitive and compassionate to his and visitors’ mental health conditions. (I am a person with bipolar disorder)

    Wonderful experience for me and my art loving step daughter.

    Plus, there was a temporary Klimt exhibit that was exceptional as well.

    Museum awesome. Canal ride confusion.
    The museum was awesome but was not clear how to use the canal ride. We are staying outside the city. And the instructions said we needed to go to the city center at a specific destination to make the reservation for the canal ride without knowing whether that would be the same day or many days later, we were cautious to count on availability and waste precious time in this beautiful city waiting idle for some unknown result.
    The museum was awesome though. I should have purchased separately from a canal ride. That way you can control the time for the canal portion.

    Atmospheric tour in the dark
    I've booked the tour in advance via Getyourguide,because it was selling out rapidly.For a reason,as it is very atmospheric although it was freezing cold.But blankets and hot chocolate,with the special shot for those who want some extra warmth,did a very good job.The Captain was Pascal and the tour guide was Valentina,who both did an even better job.
    We had a good banter and Valentina ist really knowledgeable about the Light Artwork and their creators,which made the tour worthwhile.
    I definately recommend the tour despite the cold temperatures.
