★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 30,518 reviews · 1 hour (approx.) · from $18.73

1-hour Amsterdam electric canal cruise with live guide, Jordaan views, top landmarks, and an unlimited drinks and bites add-on.

“This was overall disappointing. While our guide was very polite, the experience was more like a bartender with occasional commentary. The description included unlimited drinks and snacks. There were no snacks. It also included an itinerary going past local spots. The only two things pointed out as we drove by were leaning houses, the city museum and a thrift market (neither listed in the itinerary). If you want to go on a boat and drink as much as you can for an hour with a bunch of strangers and hear a couple quick quips, this is for you. There just was very little substance to this tour and not what…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 18,501 reviews · 5h 30m · from $34

Windmills, cheese, clogs, and optional Marken boat ride on a 5.5 hour day trip from Amsterdam. Great value, fun pace.

“The excursion to Zaanse Schans, Volendam, and Marken was a truly enriching experience. It gave us the chance to discover the beauty of the Dutch countryside. Our little one, almost 2 years old, had a great time: he really enjoyed walking around Zaanse Schans and even climbed up into one of the iconic windmills. Later, he got to taste a traditional Dutch soup at a harbor restaurant in Volendam, and had so much fun visiting the clog factory, trying on a few pairs in the adjoining gift shop. We arrived in Marken by boat, as we chose the all-inclusive option — and we truly believe it’s well worth it! A…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 15,034 reviews · 8 hours · from $32

Day trip from Amsterdam to Zaanse Schans, Edam, Volendam and Marken for windmills, clog demos, and cheese tasting.

“Visiting in January, the heated coach was incredibly convenient—much better than navigating the cold public transport! Volendam was the highlight; it felt like a vibrant local island. The fried fish there was outstanding—tender, crispy, and honestly better than any I’ve had in the UK! Edam was also fascinating; we learned so much about Dutch history and culture. The Windmill Village (Zaanse Schans) is stunning and a must-see. Despite the drizzle, it was a beautiful experience. Don't miss the hot chocolate and fresh Stroopwafels—they are absolutely mind-blowing! Pro tip: You’ll visit a cheese factory, but keep in mind that the same brand is available everywhere in Amsterdam city centre. No ne...”
