★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 16,101 reviews · 1 hour 30 minutes (approx.) · from $27

90-minute heated Amsterdam canal cruise with unlimited Heineken beer, wine, Dutch snacks, and narrated sights from Rijksmuseum or Centraal.

“We had a pretty terrible experience- and I’m not typically one to take the time to write reviews. Tour started late and ran late (like 30+ minutes late). The lack of a toilet onboard seemed an issue for some of the passengers as the drinks were unlimited. We spent most of the time listening to passengers complain about needing to use the toilet…we even had to have one gentleman relieve himself off the side of the boat! The “tour guide” was hard to hear - he was both trying to drive the boat and give us facts. He was NOT engaging and we were thoroughly bored. The content was sparse…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 11,799 reviews · from $40

Keukenhof gardens by official fast-track ticket plus roundtrip shuttle from Amsterdam, with hop-on return buses every 30 minutes.

“A very worthwhile day if you manage to go during the right season! We went last week of may and all of the flowers were gorgeously bloomed. I’ve heard of people going at the beginning in March time and getting unlucky! The ticket pickup was very easy, from This Is Holland building. They aren’t too strict on exact time slots. No longer than 15 minute wait for the coach. Coach was around 40 minutes there/back, very comfy and air conditioned. The coaches leave very frequently throughout the day up until 5:30pm which is great! Keukenhof itself was stunning, lots to do so allow minimum 4 hours - it’s bigger than…”
