Driver in Amsterdam was hilarious. He had a piano keyboard and played while waiting.

Unfortunately, the stop where we wanted to get on wasn't marked, so we walked to the train station to get on at the "main stop". Apparently we could have just waited, but without a board or something we had no way of knowing.

It's always very interesting to tour the city with the hop on hop off bus. It allows you to have a broad vision of the city and its extent. In addition, the comments allow you to learn about the history of the city. Absolutely do on the first day so you know what you're going to do next.

The hop on hop off bus & boat is a fantastic way to see the city and all it had to offer. I paid for a 48hr ticket so we ( my husband and our friends) could do the boat route one day and the bus another. traveling around the intricate canal network gives you a brilliant perspective of inner Amsterdam. my only slight criticism is the windows don't open fully on the boats so when you try to take a photo, there can be alot of glare & reflections regardless this does not distract from the experiences, which are wholeheartedly recommended.

After reading the reviews I booked only the boat option which provided already more than I could get through in one port day (as part of a cruise). The stops and boats were easy to locate especially with the app and the bright colours of the company logo. The boats provided an extensive overview of the major sites, a relaxing scenic ride through the canals, and a convenient way for me to travel between points of interests and back to the cruise terminal.

There were a lot of duplications between the tour guide hop-on/hop-off bus and the boat. The text was basically in a continuous loop and information was very scarce.

Really good. Did a full loop first and then hopped on and off at will. The boat was good also, well worth the add on.

My boyfriend and I had the most amazing time learning about the history of the city. And the canal tour was really fun. Definitely worth it!

Showed a lot of Amsterdam from the bus and the boat. Unfortunately sometimes the audio did not match what we were seeing, so we could not find things. e.g. they pointed out Rembrandts house but we were passed it already.

In principle very cool to get a quick overview of Amsterdam, unfortunately compared to other cities there is little information about the audio guide - you get more information through guided tours.
