Tours & Tickets Amsterdam

Had a tour yesterday, Celia was our guide. Great tour, we went to a windmill, wooden shoe factory, cheese factory shop, a ferry, a nice lunch, and a bakery. Experience itself was a bit rushed but you could understand why, it was a bus full of tourists and a timetable to keep. They are quite serious about the time one needs to be back on the bus. There was one woman who at the windmills, put her kids on the bus and then wanders off. The time to leave comes and goes and so the bud starts to leave and she's then angry that's she's getting left behind. Her kids are crying and she thinks it's the tour's fault. She was on time the rest of the tour though.

Good price quality ratio. You get to see many places, but in a big rush. A very very big rush. With a quite rude Chinese guide, who did her best to be kind but succeeded to be unintentionaly the opposite. However, the chosen locations are spectacular. The boat ride is great. The cheese factory has a very short and commercial presentation, but the cheese tasting afterwards is divine. 25 kinds of cheese, one better than the other. We loved the ginger one, the combination is unexpectedly yummy! The stroop waffles place is the same, very short and commercial presentation and yummy waffles to buy afterwards, although not so much to taste. The best part was the clog factory, with a very witty and charming presenter, who made a quick demonstration for us and who let us try on as many actual clogs as we wanted. The De Lunch restaurant was also good, we were allowed a very little time there to sit and grab a bite. We loved the spicy tomato soup and the delicious eel starters. Final recommendation: we would definitely like to go visit these places again, but on our own or with another tour offer (that allows more time) and a more considerate tour guide.

My husband and I recently embarked on the Giethoorn and Enclosing Dike Day Trip from Amsterdam with Viator Tours, and despite the rainy weather, we had an enjoyable experience overall. The tour provided us with a fascinating insight into the Dutch engineering prowess and their centuries-old battle against the water. The highlight of the tour was undoubtedly the picturesque village of Giethoorn. The place looked straight out of a fairytale picture postcard with its charming canals and quaint thatched-roof houses. It was a delight to explore, and we couldn't help but be captivated by the serene beauty of the surroundings. However, one downside we found was that Giethoorn is a relatively small village, and the allocated 4 hours there felt a bit too lengthy. We would have appreciated the opportunity to make an additional stop at another location, perhaps to experience more variety during the trip. On the bright side, our tour guide was knowledgeable and engaging, sharing many captivating stories and facts about the area. It added depth to the experience and enhanced our understanding of the Dutch history and culture. Unfortunately, one hiccup during the tour was that we booked the English version, but it was combined with the Spanish tour. This led to repetitive explanations as everything was presented first in English and then in Spanish. This aspect was a bit frustrating and could be improved by ensuring language-specific tours to enhance the overall experience for all participants.

Today's trip Tuesday 8th August with Peter to Rotterdam, Delft, and the Hague.... was amazing and was excellent value fir money st 79euro each!! It included entry fees also to Delft Factory , we also had time for a.leosurely linch in Delft and a quick tour of the miniature town of Madurodam and a 1 hour river cruise. We drove through Hague and were shown many embassy buildings. Peter OUR GUIDE was friendly, informative, knowledgeable, and kept us on time enough to also stop and view the Food Market in Rotterdam a d the yellow cube houses. If you have limited time in Amsterdam and want to see a lot in one day ... TAKE THIS TRIP!!! PETER IS AN ASSET TO TOURS AND TICKETS

Bought a tour guided with them to Keukenhof and found the experience really pleasant. We had to line up to exchange the ticket but it was pretty fast. We left sharply on time, be sure you are there sometime before as they can leave a few minutes before the booked time and pay attention on the guides taking you to the bus they can easily "disappear". Carolina, our guide, was the best one and incredible knowledgeable about explaining everything about the garden's history, she spoke English, Spanish and French fluently and we are still intrigued where she is from, anyways, the tour was well organised and worth it, the bus left the gardens exactly the agreed time and Carolina , again, even made funny jokes and told a little bit more history.

We bought a ticket and transport to Keukenhof on April 6th. We had a nice experience inside the park, I recommend visiting it. I also recommend another company to go see it since they had to pick us up at 18:30 but the bus never arrived. We stayed under torrential rain (even kids and old people), soaking wet with 8 degrees, waiting for the bus driven by Marc for 50 minutes, which never arrived. We ended up leaving on Michael's bus (which was also late) completely cramped as 2 bus passengers had to travel together. I pity the girl who was helping us in the park, she was very nice and had to deal with a lot of angry customers.
