Full description

Climb aboard a bus or boat to see the city of Amsterdam on a self-guided tour. Enjoy the freedom to hop on and off either one whenever you see a stop you’d like to visit. Choose ticket options, for one or both bus and boat.

Board at one of the 10 stops for the bus, located throughout the city center. Turn on your audioguide and choose from 16 different languages to learn about the city and its sights as you pass by. Then, hop off at Gassan Diamonds for a complimentary tour of the jewelry store.

Next, try the canal boat for a different experience from the water. Enjoy easy access to the canal stops with boarding spots next to the bus stops, so you can easily get from land to water. Glide along the UNESCO world-heritage canal of over 100 KM of waterways. 

Then, take in three of the most famous canals in Amsterdam: Keizersgracht, Prinsengracht, and Herengracht. Pass alongside the houses that border the canals, and learn about the history of these mansions that once belonged to wealthy spice merchants.

Was an overall good experience! The hop on/off bus is a good way to get around and see a lot of the city on your own time, comes with a guided audio tour as well. Easy to navigate, I would definitely recommend. Although, it does NOT include the canal cruise which we were mistaken.

This tour was excellent value for money and the ability to hop on hop off is great. The buses are very regular so you don’t have to wait long to get on one again after you have stopped to do an experience. Very knowledgeable tour guides, very friendly and polite, this is well worth doing when you visit Amsterdam.

amsterdam reality is very small and it is easy to get around on foot but with the bus you get to places where you did not plan to go and you get to know the city you get off at any stop and take it again every half hour and the tickets last 24 hours
