Review of the Bruges day trip from Amsterdam, with coach details, free time, costs, sights, guide quality, practical tips, and booking advice.

“Bruges was beautiful! I always wanted to see it, despite the 3-1/2 hr bus ride each way. Our tour guide, G was personable and even came around the bus to ask if we had special questions. When we arrived he guided us through the area, a walk of about a kilometer, to show us how to get to the main square. People who didn’t want to venture off on their own could meet him before departure time.

Review of the Giethoorn day trip from Amsterdam, with a scenic canal cruise, cheese tasting, free time, coach comfort, and practical tips.

“Gilbert was very punctual, funny and shared a lot of fun anecdotes throughout our journey. However, I am not sure why the captain of the canal tour in Geithoorn asked us to get us from the seats we had taken and then gave it to another couple. Apart from this episode, we had a great experience :)”

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 1,243 reviews · 12 hours · from $81

Review of a Brussels to Amsterdam day trip with a canal cruise, bilingual guide, free time, round-trip bus ride, and practical booking tips.

“Everything was great! I understand the food and drink restrictions, but it would’ve been nice if they were a bit more flexible — only allowing water felt a bit much. We're not kids (even if some adults act worse sometimes 😅). Also, leaving a bit earlier and having an extra hour to enjoy would’ve made it even better.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 892 reviews · 9 hours (approx.) · from $68

Review of the Rotterdam, Delft and The Hague day trip from Amsterdam, with itinerary details, value advice, practical tips and honest drawbacks.

“Poor communication as to where to meet. Very stressful finding the place where the bus was parked, The guide changed the order of visits to town and did Delft first. The Delft factory guide was not expecting us and she cut short our tour as she had another group. Then guide rushed us through and left 10 mins early. Poor communication about what we were to see and the Peace Palace seen in the dark so no photos.”
