  • Clarissa Read   (United Kingdom) 5.0

    The tours by boat and bus were super. Most of the staff were really helpful and enthusiastic. Some of the girls sounded a bit fed up when announcing the stops along the way and while I understand that they do this job day in day out, a little sparkle in their voices would be great. The boys were always full of sparkle.

  • David Woodrow   (United States) 5.0
    Great time in Amsterdam

    Only had one day in Amsterdam, so we were just able to do the Hop-on Hop-off Boat. It's a great way to see the city and the audio guide was great - very informative. This was one f the best ways to see Amsterdam and get around he city. I highly recommend it.

    Great overview tour. I especially enjoyed the stop at Gasson Diamonds for the tour. It was so easy to get back on the bus after the tour! I have taken many hop on and off tours all over the world and always enjoy them as I did this one in Amsterdam!

Smart Ways to Explore Amsterdam Using a Hop-On Hop-Off Bus

Combine land and water sightseeing:

If your ticket includes a hop on hop off canal Amsterdam cruise, use it to complement the bus route. It’s an easy way to see parts of the city where buses don’t reach.

Time museum stops carefully:

Popular museums can get busy. Arriving earlier in the day usually means shorter waits. Also, do check their opening hours before planning your sightseeing trip.

Use the bus for longer distances:

While Amsterdam is walkable, the bus is helpful for covering larger gaps between museums and neighborhoods.

Stay onboard to spot quieter areas:

Riding without hopping off immediately can reveal areas you might not have planned to visit.
