Amsterdam

Bus tour was good but the bus had no Air Conditioning and was very hot inside when not moving. Boat tour was excellent and the views from the water were great. Directions to pickup points and ticketing office non-existent. Ticket office staff very helpful once we found them.

We did travel on the bus...

We did travel on the bus past landmarks, but there was little or no commentary. If there was dialogue, it was not clear. Having been on many Hop On/ Hop Offs in large cities, this one was very inferior.

No bus stops visible in Amsterdam

The bus stops are not labelled with “Hop on hop off”, which meant we wasted time trying to work out where to get on. Very poor. The buses were fine but the boats were too infrequent and there needed to be places to sit. My elderly mother struggled to stand whilst we waited.

The bus did not show up...

The bus did not show up and the boat was over 30 minutes late. Visitor says the bus was running but it did not come to any stop we tried to find it at. Do not book.

Bus and boat and all around town.

We chose the bus and boat tickets. We had tickets to Anne Frank House and the bus took us right there. We hopped back on, took the boat, then back to the bus. Awesome.

Not needed, bought but didn't use.

Not needed in Amsterdam. We bought and never used. Viking had great tours, buses only run outside city, tram is very early easy.

Not the best tour at all

The drive to fast and don’t go to the tourist attractions, they go near them. That’s not go enough for the cost of the tour.
