Great way to gain knowledge of Amsterdam and it's impact on history. Never knew the vast knowledge they had with controlling the water with levies and dams and man made canals. Really liked the cheese tour -fun to see the process. Best part of it was the boat ride - highly recommend you take this. Knowledgeable tour guide and ensured all were together and didn't miss our bus after free time. Driver did an excellent job maneuvering in all of that traffic!

Excellent!

Our tour guide was great. We learned a lot about not only Amsterdam, but the whole area. The dairy farm was an interesting stop also. You are left with a very short amount of free time however.

The tour was good to have a panoramic view of Amsterdam, but considering the distance and travel, recommend you take a couple of days to visit Amsterdam and see the sights. The canal tour was very nice though. Bruno was a very energetic guide and filled us in on the rich history of each place we visited. The tour was well managed overall.

Our tour guide, Bruno, was amazing and our comments are no reflection on him, but rather with the tour company itself. We signed up for this tour because pick up was offered at various hotels -- after we purchased our tour online we were instructed to meet at the Brussels City Tour office. From there we walked several blocks at a rapid pace to reach the bus. Since I traveled with my elderly parents, this created a problem for us. I would not have signed up for this tour had we known this fact. The tour should also offer a restroom break 1/2 way through the travel to Amsterdam and again on the ride back to Brussels. We liked that the tour offered direct access to a canal boat ride, but it would have been nice if the tour company either included the cost in the tour purchase price or if they gave you a heads up letting you know that the canal boat ride must be purchased with cash Euros.

Worth it for a touch of Amsterdam. Spent a few hours walking around, perhaps 3 hours, but it was nice. The visit to the cheese factory was a complete waste of time. I would not revisit only because of that.

Best place in Europe - must visit, enjoyed guided canal ride, one suggestion book 'Van Gogh Museum' or 'Rijksmuseum' in advance if you want to visit it.

very good timing. for a day trip, we covered as much as we could with a very nice guide.

Loved this day trip to Amsterdam. Great to visit a local cheese factory. We opted for the canal boat ride and learned more about the art and museums of the area and of course the canal and dam system. It's a full day as its about three hours to Amsterdam from Brussels.

its a very pleasant trip and tour guide of ours is very knowledgeable introduction of areas of attraction alone the ways. visiting the home transitional cheese making which is interesting.
Review by: William F, October 2017
Keep in mind that it is a 3 hour drive from Brussels to Amsterdam so time in the city is somewhat limited. Prior to arriving in the city center we visited an authentic cheese maker which was kind of fun but somewhat unnecessary. However, once there it is a great tour. After an overview of the city the guide provided us with 2 hours of free time to explore the city and eat lunch. Following that we all took a canal boat tour this is optional if you would like to take more time to explore the city on your own. If you have limited time or would like to get a taste of Amsterdam this is a great tour for you.

Certainly nothing close to enough time to experience Amsterdam but if you have 1 day to work with, this tour is definitely worth it.
Review by: Marie D, October 2017
This tour was a complete disappointment and waste of money!_br/_ The 3 hour trip each way on a bus with no bathroom was inconvenient, although we did stop at a cheese maker on the way that had dirty bathrooms, if you were desperate. Once we arrived in Amsterdam, we walked very quickly through crowds. At two or three stops, a few words were said about the buildings then we were off again. Finally at the Freedom statue, we were given free time...2 hours on our own. We never saw the Anne Frank house which is one of the reasons I booked the tour. If I wanted so much time on my own, I wouldn't have booked a guided tour that I thought would guide me through the city. I would have taken a cheaper and quicker train. ride!

I loved this trip to Amsterdam from Brussels. Bruno was our guide and was superb -- he was incredbily knowledgeable and conscientous, even though he was tasked with navigating a huge swarm of tourists through the crowded streets and corridors. Amsterdam was lovely, though there wasn't enough time to really get a feel for the city.
Review by: LindaL, September 2017
Long drive from Brussels but worth it if you have limited time as Amsterdam is a must see. Canal cruise was great. Cheese/clog factory was interesting too.

I had been on the Amsterdam Tour of Brussels City Tour on 26th August 2017. It was a well organised Tour and we enjoyed this trip. Mr Neven, our Tour guide was simply amazing and magnificient, the best guide that I have come across to date.I would repeat this tour just to be with him for some time.
Review by: Burgundy H, September 2017
Great tour! Guide was super friendly and did an amazing job translating in several different languages! Cheese farm is super cool! Great trip overall! Highly recommend if you don't have time to stay a few days in Amsterdam. Oh, and definitely pay the extra 16 euros for the river cruise, that made the trip ever better!
