The tour guide (sorry that I forgot his name) is funny, professional, and informative! The canal cruise is a bit boring, as most of the scenes are blocked inside the boat, can’t see them clearly.

Xavier was an amazing tour guide, he was funny, knowledgeable and entertaining! It was nice to have a bus take us everywhere, public transit wouldve been a nightmare.

This was one of our favourite things to do during our stay in Amsterdam. It was a great way to escape the city and see some of the countryside. Our tour guide Rob made the experience fun and entertaining. We particularly enjoyed seeing the windmills and tasting the cheese at the cheese factory. We had a great group of people on the trip who added to the enjoyment of the day. We did the optional cruise, which was a relaxing way to spend the afternoon. The meeting point for the bus way easy to find and only a few minutes' walk from Amsterdam Centraal Station. Time is limited, but we didn't feel rushed.

Great but rushed. Some places need more time, some not at all. Otherwise great. But I’d gladly pay more for a smaller group and more time at some places.

We had a wonderful time on this tour. The tour guide Ilya was excellent to say the least and very knowledgable along the way. He made it very interactive the whole trip. Each place had a little stop and you got to see the highlights which was just enough time in each place as it was a long enough day on the tour. The cheese tasting was my favorite stop!!! We also took the canal cruise on the way home at the end which was a fabulous end of the day on the bus! And the guide on the boat was also fabulous!!!
