Eric was great, we got lost from the airport. He was able to find us and still have a great tour of Amsterdam in 2.5 hours. It was worth every penny we spent and I would do it again and again. I will continue to book longer layovers to enjoy quick city tours when they are available.

We really enjoyed our layover tour. Our driver took us to some fields and took pictures of us in the tulips and then also to the gardens. It was a great way to spend a few hours rather than staying in the airport. Driver was sensitive to timing for returning and we got back with plenty of time to spare. Driver was ver helpful and kind as well.
Elias was a fantastic guide. He arrived on time and was very knowledgeable and friendly. We really enjoyed the flowers it’s an incredible sight. Would recommend to anyone visiting Amsterdam.
Younes was very knowledgeable. He answered all our questions. Drove us around to some great areas, touching on all the highlights of Amsterdam the best he could (which we thought he did great) with the little of 3 hours we had. Showing us history, architecture and the culture of Amsterdam. It was a tour we will not forget. It was very enjoyable and insightful. Thank you Younes!!
Younes is beyond amazing. Super friendly , very knowledgeable and kind. Highly highly recommend.
Saad gave us windmills, cheese, wood clogs, and a tour of the city in 3 hours! Totally worth every penny! Easy pick up and drop off from the airport. He took pictures for us too! Highly recommend!
Elias was an amazing guide! We spent three hours with him on a layover city tour and were so impressed by his enthusiasm and deep knowledge of Amsterdam. A lifelong local, Elias brought the city to life with passion and great storytelling. By the end of the tour, we knew—three hours wasn’t enough. Amsterdam deserves at least four full days!
Saw all the highlights of the city in 3 hours. Younes knew his way around! Try the fresh stroopwafels too!
Redouan was a great host and guide. He picked us up from the airport and hefted all our luggage into his van. Then took us on a sightseeing tour through Amsterdam for 3 hours, stopping once in a while to let us take pictures. He was knowledgeable about his hometown’s history and culture and it was evident he loves Amsterdam and the Netherlands! He safely navigated traffic and got us back in plenty of time for us to go through security again and make our flight. I would highly recommend his tour to anyone with a long Amsterdam layover!!
Guide was excellent, very knowledgable, very interactive and ran the tour perfectly ontime!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND
Due to a cancelled flight because of the NATO summit, we ended up with a 7+ hour layover in Amsterdam. Having never been to the city, only the airport, I booked a tour for my husband and I. What a great decision! Our driver, Saad, messaged me even before we landed. He met us at arrivals and escorted us to a comfortable, elegant car. He was very kind and accommodating, crafting the perfect tour for us!! My husband expressed an interest in windmills, so we ended up at a delightful recreation village outside the city with working windmills, cheese and a wooden clog making demo. Then a delightful whirlwind tour of the city. He got us back to the airport in perfect time to check in for our next leg. Saad was a wonderful driver and guide, friendly and knowledgeable and I can’t recommend him highly enough!!
What a great experience. I shared what I wanted to see and eat, and I was taken there. Just a perfect amount of time to get what I wanted to get in.
We had a 9-hour layover in Amsterdam and booked a 5-hour private tour with Dutch Tours—it was incredible. Travelling with two young kids after a long flight, the private option was ideal. Our guide, Elias, was fantastic—warm, knowledgeable, and great with our girls. We saw the canals, Anne Frank's house, and museums, and we even extended the tour to visit windmills and see how wooden shoes are made. Pickup at the airport was seamless, and the vehicle was comfortable. Communication was excellent throughout. Our girls adored Elias, and we all left wanting to return. Thank you for a truly memorable experience!
Great experience!! Great communication and great tour of Amsterdam. Hope we can return to this beautiful city!! Arrived in time and returned to airport in plenty of time for our next flight.
It was excellent. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. The vehicle was clean and comfortable. I would utilize this service again AND highly recommend it to anyone with a long layover.
Younes was an absolutely amazing tour guide!! He was so kind and informative and tailored the tour to our tastes and interests. We saw so much of Amsterdam in such a short time. Younes made us laugh and took excellent photos for us. Highly recommend this tour and tour guide. We would love to book him for future tours.
it was definitely an amazing experience! i was nervous as i was solo, young adult traveler. but my tour guide (Ben!) was very friendly, super accommodating, and had all the knowledge of Amsterdam! he was very patient with me as i wanted to stop in the middle of the road and take pictures (hahaha thanks, Ben!) & he also offered to take pictures of me which came out great! i personally think the 3 hour tour wasn’t long enough! but of course the price difference is a huge factor for most, including myself. would highly recommend this company. also didn’t know this so please note: i flew in on a Sunday at 7am, got picked up at 8am. coffee shops, gift shops, museums, etc. don’t open until 9/10am so there wasn’t much to do besides site seeing the city. but the plus of that is it was very calm, roads weren’t busy at all, & very easy transportation to and from airport. all in all, it is not a disappointment. you will not regret it! & thank you to the company for being super easy to book through. i was in contact with Eliza through the booking process so if you have any questions, she has the answers!!
Wonderful! Very nice guide. Good pace. Allowed us to get out and walk around. We easily made it back to the airport for our connecting flight.
Company was great contacting me as aoon as I landed. Talked me through airport questions. My deiver Jukiey was very pleasant. Vehicle was clean and conversation was nice. Do know the airport is over an hour from city center & thwre is traffic. I would recommend this ttanafer company.
Ben took us into the country to volendam , a cheese and clog farm store , and the windmills . We did it easily in a beautiful car and on time at the Airport . I highly recommend this operator .
Wonderful experience to see the city in a short time Our tour guide Elias was exceptional. Saw all the highlights!
My team had a wonderful experience in Amsterdam. Your willingness to be flexible made the event possible. Thank you for this wonderful service.
Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. He was able to take us behind the scenes of a family owned tulip farm. I highly recommend hiring this company for a layover tour
Ben was great. Very accommodating to our needs. His personal stories brought the city to life. Th sky light in the back seat of the car allowed total visibility.
Trip was absolutely wonderful! Younge took us to all the sights we were hoping to see and knew lots of information & history. We were on a layover (with my two teen sons) and it was the perfect way to spend the time. Highly recommend!
Elleas was amazing! He was very informative and helpful. He understood our time constraints and tailored our tour to that. We got to see a lot of cool things and learn about the history of Amsterdam. I highly recommend this tour!
Had a 7 hour layover and used the time to have a tour around Amsterdam and surrounding areas. Elias was great, very informative and flexible. Great way of spending a few hours
Elias was a superb guide. He went above and beyond to make us know a lot about Amsterdam and the surrounding area in a short time. The minivan was impecable. I highly recommend this company and Ellas. Thank you so much for the experience!
Our driver Elias was amazing, professional and very knowledgeable. It was perfect driving around and learning the history plus getting out a couple of times for the coffee shoppe and canal cruise! Just enough to keep us busy plus the benefit of having someone who knows the city. The bonus was being picked up and dropped off at the airport!
If you have six hours or more to spare, this is a great way to get an overview of key areas of Amsterdam. The owner who did my tour was extremely nice and accommodating. His knowledge of the area was impressive. He made me feel comfortable. I would definitely recommend this tour.
Our driver was very accommodating and attentive however this is not a city tour this is just a driver taking you around. The name of this activity is misleading and would be great to clarify to avoid the similar expectations we had.
The whole tour was great. Eunis did an amazing job - top class tour company. From the moment I was met at the airport to being dropped off was a great experience. He was flexible and took me around to all the parts of the city and I learned many different aspects of the different parts of the city. He stopped and let me take pictures. Told me many stories. And added extra time to the tour and took me to see windmills, how they made clogs, and a cheese store. I would highly recommend this company and tour. You will get your money's worth. I plan to visit Amsterdam again and will definitely use this company for another tour.
We booked the tour and then had a change to our schedule. Younis was so accommodating. Even though we had to shorten our tour time, he made sure we saw the best of Amsterdam! We were very happy!
I found this last minute and what a jewel! My husband and I had such a marvelous experience. He is still bragging about the great time he had. Our layover was 6 hours. This gave us plenty of time to see the beauty of Amsterdam, take beautiful photos, and experience delicious Dutch coffee. We originally were going to attempt this feat alone, but the guided tour allowed for so much additional knowledge to be shined upon us. Thank you so much for this gift!
Varied drive to the country side and courteous driver but he charged 85 euro cash than the scheduled trip. It was not mentioned till dropped off. Itenerary consisted of museum and Annie frank house but changed
Younes our tour guide was amazing. He picked us up in a luxury vehicle equipped with refreshments. We toured the heart of Amsterdam and had a fantastic time. We hope to visit again soon! This your is highly recommended!!
We had a GREAT layover in Amsterdam and it was because of our driver. I can't remember his name but he was great. He was available and in contact with us the minute we landed in Amsterdam. Met us quickly and off we went. He took us to see the spots we wanted to see. We asked for a place to get Poffertjes - excellent I might add. He also got us to the Anne Frank House 30 minutes prior to our tour to walk around for a bit. After the tour, we needed to get back to the airport asap and he made it happen. He was prompt, safe, personable and took care of us. I would recommend using this tour to get around on your quick layover in Amsterdam. It was well worth it!
Our guide was fabulous. He toured us around the City, taking time for photos, but the best part of the excursion was his taking us to the Windmills. We had so much fun. Seeing how cheese is made and clogs and the picture opportunities. I had difficulty with the cold so he took off his coat and wrapped it around me. We laughed and enjoyed the tour. It was one of the best we had during our 10 days on the ship. Lovely, lovely man
Excellent experience! We had a long layover in Amsterdam. Our guide picked us up at the meeting spot and drove us around to anywhere we wanted to go. He was very presentable and professional. He drove us around town and explained some of the history of the city! I highly recommend using his services if you are in Amsterdam!
Wonderful experience. We were delayed getting through customs. Our guide made the best of the time we had and was very informative with a wonderful personality
Eric was great, he asked us where we wanted to go and made some nice suggestions. The tour is 3 hrs.
Highly recommend this. It was a very easy way to see Amsterdam in a few hours on a layover. Our driver had great communication, was very friendly and an excellent tour guide. We saw a lot in a short time!
Timur was excellent. He drove us around the city and south to see a windmill while providing us with historical and current information about the sites. We ate at a local bakery which was delicious! We got out of the car and did a little walking in our own. His directions were spot on and he was right where we needed him to be when we finished. Would highly recommend.
Let's face it-- almost anything is better than a long wait at the airport for your next flight.. However, this layover day trip was perfect for us. Erick our driver and guide was punctual, accommodating , and very knowledgeable. We saw windmills, had a canal tour and visited the Anne Frank house.. It's a beautiful city even in non-tulip times and well worth seeing. It also doesn't hurt that the people are friendly (and all very good looking :) )
Excellent choice for small groups or those traveling alone. The guide is incredibly knowledgeable and very friendly. I strongly recommend this tour!
Awesome experience! Really professional and courteous staff! So willing to accommodate last minute changes! Beautiful!
I chose the Dutch tours and transfers for my visit to Amsterdam on account of the services they offered and boy did they go above and beyond. A special shout out and thank you to Younes who was such a genuine and affable guide. HIs knowledge on all things Amsterdam was absolutely insightful. He didn't hesitate taking me to the countryside where things are as authentic as can be. I thoroughly enjoyed my short time with the tour. It's safe for a single woman travelling and the pick-up and drop-off to the airport is such a boon. It's certainly your money's worth and you get to take away such an incredible and joyous experience.
Thank you very much to our driver for all his information and anecdotes about this very pretty city. Thanks also to Elias for the very responsive email exchanges! I RECOMMEND +++++
