About this experience
Our tour offers a personalized, flexible experience that’s much more than a typical hop-on hop-off service. We ensure that each stop is meaningful, giving you the opportunity to explore Amsterdam’s top locations while enjoying a relaxed pace. Unlike regular tours, we make sure to stop at every location for 5 minutes, allowing guests the time to take photos or simply enjoy the sights.
With us, communication is key—after the driver sends a message in the morning, they remain reachable throughout the day, ensuring your comfort and peace of mind. Plus, for private tours, we can offer even greater flexibility in terms of stop times and locations, tailored specifically to your preferences.
For added convenience, you are welcome to bring a small backpack (maximum size 20x30x40 cm). Whether you’re traveling in a group or opting for a private experience, our focus is on making sure you have a smooth, enjoyable, and memorable journey around Amsterdam!

Suitable for all physical fitness levels
For the public/shared option, we want to ensure that passengers do not bring too much luggage, as the vehicle's space is limited. Our minivans have more room compared to the minibuses, but for the public option, it may be challenging to accommodate large equipment.
Private Tour option can accommodate wheelchairs or other mobility aids.
The tour consists of 13 stops, with the first stop beginning at 09:00, 13:00, or 17:00. At each stop, we spend an average of 5 minutes to allow guests to board, exit, or take photos. The time between stops is 10 minutes, so if you calculate 15 minutes for each stop (5 minutes at the stop and 10 minutes between), the total duration of the tour will be a maximum of 3 hours.
Meeting point
Once you disembark from your train, please follow the signs leading to the taxi and Kiss and Ride zones. When you reach the taxi stand, you will find our vehicle positioned on the right-hand side.
