5.00The canal boats were the best option to see the highlights of the city. Get a map and plan your stops ahead of time.

5.00Excellent hop on hop off bus and boat. You can take either one both stopping roughly the same area. The only issue withe the bus is that you have to find the location because signs are not permitted. For the boats, there are signs,

Not happy with service in Amsterdam

1.00We’ve ridden on these busses with this company in other cities and always enjoyed it. Our service in Amsterdam was terrible. So many people using it on a Saturday and they only had three buses running. We waited at stop one for almost 45 minutes. We got off at stop 3 and toured House of Gassan. They did have a bus waiting when we came out. After that it went downhill. We waited at stop 5 for 30 minutes before just walking to stop 6. This happened the rest of the day resulting in us walking all the stops to stop 9. At stop 9 we waited 30 minutes and watched as one by one all the busses on the app showed all three busses stop at stop 3 and not move from 2:30 when the first bus got there til at least 3:15 when I stopped looking and got an Uber.

3.00Was not at the initial pick up location when we got off the boat at the cruise terminal. We walked too far and had to turn around and walk back after asking for directions from someone on the street. We had elderly in our group (the reason we picked hop on hop off with canal tour) We were not able to make it to the boat portion at all as we ran out of time
No bus - no boat to be found

5.00The best way to see all of Amsterdam! The combination of bus & canal is perfect as some of the streets are too narrow for a bus. The audio guide is perfect for information and history!! This is a must to!! Veel plezier Heel gezellig!!
Time well spent

5.00It's a great way to take in the sites and to discover other places/areas to visit. The time spent during this tour was a roughly one hour and twenty minutes which gives you time to hop off at different stops/area to enjoy before hopping back on.

1.00Paid the 48 hour you to have the option of boat or bus. Due to the weather they cancelled the bus. The boat stops are much more limited and you need to walk much further to get to places.
