This was undoubtedly one of the best things we did. Bastion, our guide, was very understanding, knowledgable and laid the foundation to our holiday in Amsterdam as it was the first thing we wanted to do in the city. They also managed to secure a carrier for our child which made it more special. One of the top activity to do!

Clare was a wonderful guide! I originally only did the guided tour because tickets were sold out for the other days I was there so this was the only way to get in. However, I have to say doing the guided tour elevated the whole experience tremendously and I'm so grateful I went this route. Clare's insight into Van Gogh's work and life added a whole new dimension to everything we saw.

Easy to find departure point and the captain was very clear in her instructions before setting off on a great experience. Progress was smooth and clearly the person guiding the barge knew exactly what she was doing. Our only v slight criticism is that the pre-recorded audio guide via head phones was a bit brief. Otherwise a great experience.

Our favourite memory from our short stay in Amsterdam! Atmosphere was amazing, I previously did this in the summer of 2021 however I enjoyed it more in March as it was dark at the time of the cruise and everywhere was lit up!

The canal cruise was interesting and showed some good areas of Amsterdam. Only draw back was the smelly fumes out the back of the boat but that is to be expected. Loved the ice bar! Many people criticising and saying it was a waste of money but I thought it was a fantastic experience and my wife is now obsessed with the nougat and pistachio liqueur.

Great tour! Unable to find tickets that were available for the museum, we booked this private tour. We will never book again without a private tour!! Rolf was so informative. We learned so much more. We had an 11yr old with us and Rolf kept him engaged and made it a fun learning experience. Definitely recommend this tour! Thank you!

Convenient meeting point close to our 5star hotel, enough cheese, wine & bread to last an hour & half, which ended up feeling like 10 minutes as two yanks talked our heads off…but overall very satisfying.

I went back to Amsterdam's nightlife with my best friend before and now we got the Amsterdam Nightlife Ticket again. This time I see new parties and special events that were really cool like at Jimmy Woo and Supperclub. The best parts about the ticket are not having to pay extra to get into different places and finding good deals on drinks (some even for free). Using the ticket for the second time, I see how much it adds to the fun of exploring Amsterdam. Thanks!!
