5.00This is a wonderful, and must do tour while you are visiting Amsterdam. You will visit the country side and experience scenic views, demonstrations, & lovely canal boat ride. Our tour guide, Reiner was fantastic. Keeping our group together, explaining the next steps, teaching us about the history, and showing you where to eat and use the toilet. I would recommend this tour to anyone.
Fun Day!

5.00The itinerary was ideal. In a very comfortable van we drove to some of the main nearby sites not to miss on your visit to Amsterdam. There was only one other couple with us so the tour felt almost private. Kai, our tour guide and driver was a delight. Fun and very knowledgeable he peppered his thoughtful bytes of information with jokes to keep us educated and entertained. We will strongly encourage people to hire this tour. Hopefully you will too get Kai as your guide and have the same outstanding experience.
Fabulous tour

5.00I am really not a fan of guided tours but I would recommend this one 100%. The tour is well thought out and Erik does a great job keeping the tour informed and on pace without making feel rushed. We had plenty of time for lunch, pictures, and to leisure around. Erik is very knowledgeable, friendly and kind. His experience shows in every part of the tour. If possible ask for him.

5.00It’s the first time for me to visit Amsterdam. This is such a great tour with beautiful sceneries. Our tour guide, Kai, did a great job explaining the Netherland cultures with great sense of humor. He has been very helpful and kind. Thank you, Kai. It turned out to be one of the highlights of my trip to Europe.

5.00Mr.Reinier is knowlegable about the places we visited and explained every detail as much as he could. i think hes also good at improvising. Given the fact that the weather wasnt the best for outdoor activities like riding a boat, he did his best to adjust the plans and made it enjoyable. i especially liked the sudden stop by the tulip fields, since i like flowers. He showed us genuine care&attention, even small things like "Do you need a bathroom?" and gave us lots of questions and recommendations etc. All things added up together hes def not only a professional smart guide but a guide with a warm heart.
A great day trip
