Windmill Tour + Amsterdam Canal Cruise

Amsterdam City River Cruise

The canal cruise was perfect, the captin come guide gave us headphones to listen in our own language. The riverboat was clean and tidy, easy to walk on and off, it was a nice day and we got some beautiful pictures!! A great end to a fantastic tourist holiday!!

Early evening cruise

We did the early evening cruise to see the lights of the city. Easy to get tickets by turning up and allocated the next cruise. There is an audio link that you can use, but we decided to just sit outside and watch the views. An hour cruise which was interesting and pretty.

Great information finding cruise

We had an hour cruise around the canals in Amsterdam and learnt a lot whilst doing it. We really enjoyed every second. My five year old didn’t want to get off. The captain was also very knowledgeable.

A Must Try

This is a must do on your list of things to do while visiting Amsterdam. It takes you through areas that you may not be able to walk to. The captain points out things of interest and tells the story behind it.

A fab way to see Amsterdam

We had a really lovely time on the one-hour canal cruise. Our captain was very lovely and cracked a good few jokes throughout the tour. The GPS guided tour via the headphones was a fab idea and there were so many language options available which was a really pleasant surprise. We learned so much about the history of the city and the tour even helped us to find places to visit again in further detail after the tour. The price was extremely reasonable considering the excellent experience we got, and our boat even left a little early which was nice. All in all, we would definitely recommend it!

The captian made the experience

We really enjoyed it. We show I I amsterdam cards at the ticket office ans were on a boat and on our way within 10 minutes. Our captain (Tony I believe was his name) was lovely ,cheerful and very knowledge of the area, he also had 2 traniees with him and they were also lovely. The facilties were clean. If I hadn't have had the I amsterdam card I would have still paid what the price was (which I think is reasonable).

Well worth the experience

1st time in Amsterdam and loved it Booked on the Lovers Canal cruise early in the morning to get a feel for the city and to get our bearings The tour showed the highlights of the city and the comentry was good

Cruising backward :(

sitting backward is really annoying... Except that I think it is very nice and the captain was a nice guy, he was really funny, making jokes.

Go with Lovers

Booked through Get Your Guide literally 20 mins before boarding. They let us join a boat that was boarding as soon as we got there, which was great, no standing around as they weren’t so busy. We took a daytime trip and glad we did. Maybe evening cruises would be better in warmer months with open boats. The boat was modern, clean and warm and no condensation at all during any part of our cruise. The headphones were included and the audio commentary was interesting. The captain also added bits and pieces of extra info which was appreciated. It was a great introduction to the canals of Amsterdam as we decided to do this trip literally an hour after arriving in Amsterdam. It helped us with our bearings and with general historical info about the city. The reason for 4 rather than 5 stars is that we seemed to stay on one canal, no museums seen, no Anne Frank house, nothing like that, which was a shame as lots of tourists probably visit these places afterwards. Maybe the canal boat starting from the museums area take that route? We took the one from the station. There are lots of canal boat companies, but we were more than happy with Lovers as their boats appear a lot more modern than many others we saw. I would definitely recommend the cruise and my teenage daughter said it was one of the nicest things we did when in Amsterdam.

Great couples tour

A amazing tour with some great canal boat skills performed and a great host. This tour is very much for couples and being alone I felt a little out of place.

A Great Way To See The City

Done the open boat tour during the summer. A great way to see the city and the audio guide gave plenty of information along the way. Extremely relaxing to the point I almost fell asleep half way around. Would definitely do the tour again if I’m back in Amsterdam

Quick visit to see Amsterdam

Guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. Although it rained, I still enjoyed the tour. The only complaint was the audio was difficult to hear at times.

Relaxing hour on the canals

Nice relaxing hour around the canals. Duco (sorry if I have not got the name correct) was informative with history and fun facts. Would recommend.

Good cruise

It was educational, slowed down at the right places. The pilot was polite and explained well- was fun and energetic.

Es un tour más general

El tour está muy bien, en cambio si ya has hecho un freetour por la ciudad recomiendo el crucero primero, te da una vista más general, mi amiga y yo al haber hecho antes el freetour volvimos a ver sitios en los que ya habíamos estado.

Très belle découverte en péniche

Croisière avec le groupe lovers Sympathique croisière traduit en plusieurs langue 1h pour vous faire un tour des canaux avec visite guidée et indication sur les différents quartiers/monuments / place/ marché /histoire / musée de la ville etc Très bien pour découvrir une 1er fois en famille en amies en couple cette croisière et très bien adapter

Très bien

Petite balade bien sympathique, est l’audio était très bien fait rien à redire. Le petit bar pour attendre est très sympa aussi avant d’accéder au bateau.

Informativ und schön

Wir hatten einen super symphatischen Bootsführer der viele Nebeninfos gab. War schön und informativ. 1 Stunde hat gut gereicht und empfehlenswert. Gute Karte erhalten für den Treffpunkt und pünktlich, sowie sauber.

Un paseo agradable en barco

Muy puntuales, un paseo tranquilo, recomiendo que cuando lo cojan miren bien la metereología, pues así podrán disfrutar mejor de las vistas.

DA PROVARE

Giro dei canali in barca assolutamente da consigliare. Audioguida in italiano e Simon simpaticissimo conducente che comunque dava ulteriori informazioni in inglese. La durata è di un'ora ma ci è dispiaciuto scendere!!

Tolle Tour

Die Stunde waren zwar nur ca. 50 Minuten, aber die Tour war wunderschön. Unbedingt abends machen, die Atmosphäre ist unbeschreiblich!

👍👍👍

Sehr nette Bootstour über die Kanäle von Amsterdam! Man bekommt viele interessante Informationen über die Stadt und deren Geschichte erzählt.

intéressant

La promenade sur les canaux dure une heure. Les audio guides permettent de suivre les commentaires dans différentes langues. Le long de cette promenade fluviale, nous découvrons l'histoire de la ville et des monuments "célèbres". Par contre, le confort est rudimentaire.

Para escalas cortas de vuelo

Las vistas son preciosas, aunque desde posición incómoda porque el barco estaba muy lleno. El capitán muy simpático e hizo agradable el viaje.

Crociera easy

Crociera molto carina con guida in tutte le lingue. Partenza vicino ala stazione centrale. Durata circa un ora. Visita dei canali principali di Amsterdam. Da provare

We had a lovely time on this excursion. Our tour guide Astrid, driver Frankie and their coworker Laura made the experience fun and informative. Especially liked Astrid's commentary as we made our way through the countryside. We also found some unique souvenirs to bring back with us.

Very entertaining and informative experience.

It was one of the best day trips I have ever taken. The bus driver, Stefan and guide, Tony were knowledgable and entertaining - plenty of life music on this bus. It was a full day and they accommodated me when I couldn’t go into one windmill due to an allergy. Cannot recommend them high enough. We came back and booked another trip with this company straight away.

Relaxing and fun

Was a good day out and enjoyed it. Were not at the one place for too long either which is good because some other tours leave you at the one spot for too long and you end up waiting around.

Wonderful Experience

Great experience and very helpful guide by Pia, Mercedez and Stef the bus driver (comedian). We took the 4dec23 morning trip

Great tour

Great tour, we loved it. Saw heaps of stuff but didn't feel rushed. Great afternoon our of the city which was also bice, the countryside is beautiful.

Fascinating Tour

Our team Vladimir (the driver) and Carolina and Charley were amazing. Friendly, funny and informative. I learnt a lot on this trip !! The planned visits and demonstrations from the windmill, cheese factory, waffle making and clog making were all well presented and fascinating. The whole trip was relaxed and unlike tours i have been on in different countries, we had plenty of time at each stop to eat, drink, browse and take the sights in. I would 100% definitely recommend and use again.

Fun day in windmill country

Great tour, made even more enjoyable by the bus driver Steve who entertained us throughout the day. Highly recommend!

Highly recommended.

Very good trip. Did what it said it would do. Comfy coach, lovely guides, interesting places to visit. It was cold and blustery but that didn't dampen our spirits. Loved the boat trip. The windmill was amazing. We enjoyed the cheese tasting and the demonstration. The clog factory was good as was the demonstration. The only negative was the waiting around for half an hour before we set off. Didn't understand why that was necessary especially as there was not where to sit out of the cold wind.

The outskirts of amsterdam guided tour

Cheese demonstration, Clog making with steam engine, and Peanut/Paint oil and chalk making windmill village was very educational and delightful. I'd like to say the windmill village was beautiful and the food recommended by our tour guide (Ian, I believe) at volendam was fantastic. The boat ride over to marked was amazing as well. 10 out of 10!

Slow Down

The tour and the places we went were great, I loved Volendam and Marken the most. The tour guide however was very strict about time and the tour itself was rushed. The guide walked off leaving the rest of the group in the dust even though people told her she was walking too fast and they couldn't keep up. She was constantly so far ahead of the group that people were asking where did she go. I'm not sure if the audio on the bus was having issues or not but it seemed to randomly cut out. If you take the 245 tour and chose the all inclusive option for the boat ride make sure to bring a hat, jacket, and gloves as it gets very windy and cold on the outer decks.

Fast paced tour

This day trip offered a lot. It was packed so full with attractions that the time allotted for each stop did not provide enough time to do much tourist exploration in the little shops. I gave it 4 stars only because I wish I had time to go in and out of the many shops at both stops. This was not possible. The windmills, clog making, and cheese factory were very interesting. The guides, Adrianna, Frankie and particularly Xiaoli were friendly, helpful, humorous and made the time spent together enjoyable. I could have spent 2hrs on the island of Volendam but only had time for a quick lunch and very brief visit to a shop next to the restaurant before having to leave. It felt very rushed. Time to eat and then explore the many shops in Volendam would have been perfect.

Windmills

We booked to see the windmills etc, what a great afternoon we had! With Steff and Astrid we had a fab time. We would definitely recommend

ESENCIA DE HOLANDA

Nos ha encantado y sobre todo millones de gracias a Carolina, Mercedes y Germán, sin ellos no hubiera sido la gran experiencia que ha sido.

Gran tour, el mejor staff

Hemos tomado diferentes tour en viaje por Europa pero debemos decir que es uno de los mejores que hemos tenido. Nuestros guías Diana, Erick y el conductor Haans fueron más que fabulosos. Hicieron que todo el tour fuera entretenido, lleno de información y sobre todo amables. En cada momento se notaba una sonrisa y siempre ayudaron a todos, incluyendo a una señora que venia en silla de ruedas, Haans estuvo siempre apoyándola. Gran equipo y seres humanos, divertidos y amables. Así mismo el tour es fabuloso, tiempo exacto para comocer las ciudades, se disfrutan enormemente y muy bien explicadas. Con pruebas de degudtacion en cada actividad. Si están en Ámsterdam no duden en contratar y busquen a este gran staff! Gracias y como dicen ustedes, Dag Dag 😁

Pinceladas cultura campestre

Un buen modo de conocer la cultura rural del país. Un aserradero de madera en un Molino, fabrica de zuecos, de quesos y dulces típicos Pia,, una maravillosa guía que nos que nos dio gran parte de las visitas en español. Si no hubiera sido por ella no nos habríamos enterado de las visitas, que eran en inglés La acompañaba Susana como huía de apoyo. Recomendable

Buena eleccion

Muy buena atencion de la empresa Tickets y Tours. Los guias Nico y Romi muy amables y correctos. Los lugares visitados bien tradicionales y muy bonitos. El chofer excelente. Me gusto mucho, feliz de realizarla. En la demostracion de la fabricacion de zuecos eramos muchos, todos apilados y no alcance a ver mucho.

MUY RECOMENDABLE

Una excursión PERFECTA! nuestra guía, Xiaoli ESPECTACULAR, una suerte que nos tocara ella 😀 y Josy muuuuy atenta y amable con todos también! En una ratito vimos un montón de cosas, mi familia y yo os recomendaremos, sin duda! Mil gracias!

Best day to spend und Amsterdam

- Vor allem waren die Guids sehr nett, freundlich und wussten vieles. Sylvia war die Chef von der Tour. Es lohnt sich. Wir konnten in einer Windmühle rein, Käse probieren usw… Mehr sag ich nicht aber es lohnt sich

Gita nelle campagne olandesi

Bella gita consigliata per chi vuole visitare posti unici. La guida molto gentile e disponibile, l’unica pecca è che in poche ore hanno concentrato un sacco di cose ma sicuramente ne vale la pena

Pomeriggio piacevole

Siamo andati con Tours &ticket , sono molto puntuali e la giornata era molto bella . Il pullman era pieno ma sono comunque riuscite a farci vedere tutto e in modo molto piacevole , forse ci voleva un po’ più di tempo nella zona dei mulini per girare con più calma . Le ragazze Silvia e Andrea sono state brave e simpatiche e ci hanno portato a visitare l’interno di un mulino segheria, sia alla fabbrica di formaggi e poi abbiamo avuto anche del tempo libero a Volendam paesino molto grazioso sul lago dolce artificiale. L’autista forse di nome Carl ha guidato bene e in tranquillità. Lo rifarei volentieri

Belle journée

Très bien une belle journée avec une équipe fantastiques Très bien organisé Ils sont très très très agréable merci a tout le équipe tour ticket Merci a bientôt

La guida era un ragazzo molto carino e gentile.La sua spiegazione era precisa .E stata una bellissima esperienza la raccomando fortemente

Très chouette visite

Tres chouette visite je recommande ces 3 villes moulins musées bateau visite à pieds un peu touristique mais c'est 1 pru partout pareil Ces 3 petites villes sont tres jolies

Villaggio di pescatori

Piccolo villaggio molto ordinato. Visitato in un giorno grigio e piovoso che rendeva molto l'atmosfera del mare del Nord. Tanti negozietti e ristoranti. Mangiato un ottimo fish and Chips. Ottimo per mezza giornata fuori porta

Super tour e super guida

Super Super tour. Straconsigliato. Solo il tempo ha rovinato un po le cose, ma la guida Silvy,Ian e anche bus-driver erano super friendly. i villaggi che andate a visitare eranno davvero unici,per non parlare del formaggio che abbiamo comprato. Suggerisco di comprare il formaggio con coconut,era davero speciale. Questo tour e un must.

Schönes Städtchen mit historischen Flair

Sind durch eine Busreise hierhergekommen. Geburtsort des Sängers Jan Smit (Klubbb3). Romantische Promenade. Häuser von anno dazumal. War vorher ein Fischerdorf. Heute klar mehr Touristik. Klare Empfehlung für den der sich für die Niederlande interessiert. Auf alle Fälle ein Besuch wert. Einkehr ist in den vielen kleinen Bistros und Cafés möglich.

Super Tagesausflug mit tollem Tourguide

Toller Tag ! Gestartet mit dem Bus ab Centraal Station, mit dem super netten Fahrer FrAnk und dem Tourguide Steff. Dieser spielte zum Anfang erst einmal Piano (!) im Bus. Insgesamt alles super organisiert, 6 Stunden gingen schnell vorbei. Windmühlen, Holzschuh Fabrik, Käse verkosten und Stropwaffels genascht. Dazu 30 Minuten mit der Fähre übers Isselmeer nach Volemdamm. 45,00€ alles inkl. Man kann auch weniger zahlen, und entscheidet vor , ob man jeweils für ca. 5.00€ eine Attraktion hinzubucht. Kein Zwang! Steff ist als Tourguide sehr zu empfehlen, sehr lustiger Typ, der die Ruhe weg hat.

Schöner Tagesausflug

Schöner Tagesausflug - Käserei Besuch - Bäckerei Besuch - Holzschuhmuseum - Promenade mit Mittagessen (Essen exklusive) - Windmühlen
