As we enter the city, sights like the National Bank of Netherlands, the renowned Heineken brewery, and The Painting Gallery boasting the masterpieces of illustrious Dutch artists like Rembrandt and Van Gogh, will greet you.

Thanks for a great day! - In particular, we thoroughly enjoyed the cheese farm the most. The farmer was so funny and informative! The city was hard to navigate (even with data), but the guide did give us a map and suggestions of what to do with his contact info attached. We were able to do a canal tour and still had time to sightsee and eat.

Excellent outing, perfect guide and drivers - This outing was fantastic. The guide Bruno and the driver Dave were just perfect. The guide Guillaume spoke 3 languages, he was very patient and cultured. I learned a lot about the history of Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg. The stopover at the farm was also enriching (wooden clogs and cheese) I loved everything🥰😍😍😍

Great experience - A great experience! Nonetheless, I didn't like the fact that there wasn't a working toilet in the bus as the journey was of about 3 hours

Good option for a quick Amsterdam visit - I loved the cheese and clogs farm, the farmer was so entertaining and we got to taste and buy some cheese, learn how the clogs are made. We had 4 hours in Amsterdam to explore on our own, the map with main attraction points was very helpful. I didn’t like that the group was very big and buss way too crowded, couldn’t find seats together although we arrived 10 minutes earlier.

Amsterdam Tour - Five hours in Amsterdam felt like an hour. We had to rush to get through all the sites. There is a long walk from the motor-coach to the main area so be prepared for a long hike. Roxanna was a great tour guide.

Left something to be desired - We were dropped off in Amsterdam with a meeting time of 5pm to return to Brussels. They don't show anything in the city. Each one on their own. I took the Hop On Hop Off bus and took a walk around the city, which takes 1 hour and 30 minutes and gives you a good view. My luck was that I didn't want to go back with the tour. I stayed in Amsterdam for another 3 days. One day is not enough. At the scheduled time to return, I picked up my bags and stayed there.
