Unfortunately, we had difficulties finding the departure point, and the stops were very confusing and insufficiently signposted. In addition, it was unbearable on the bus without air conditioning. We were only able to make three stops and then had to abandon the bus due to the heat. Too bad about the good money .

Bus driver was not overly friendly. Bus stops were not clearly marked eg. Stop 5 where we got on. Audio commentary is good but while it's playing. You can't hear the driver separately telling you what stop he's up to. Couldn't find a timetable on the app & driver Couldn't tell me when the next bus would be coming or how frequently they came past the stop.

What I liked most about my visit to the museum was the organization and how easy everything was. We bought the tickets through Headout and it was super convenient. When we arrived, we didn't have to wait in line and got in right away, which made the whole experience much more enjoyable. Once inside, the exhibition was fascinating, and everything was very well signposted and explained. Without a doubt, the ticketing system made our visit much easier and allowed us to enjoy it to the fullest from the very first moment...

I enjoyed the bar in the expirance and how there was interacted parts of the experience and i thought the lift up up was cool and the first room with er and everything in, also the rook with thor and hulk in was amazing because i could feel the ground shaking which was amazing. It was a really good day but based on me going to the London one before i thought it was going to be a bit longer, but it only took us an hour and a half to walk round and that was with taking loads of pictures.

Although Project Night Watch kept me from the painting I really came to see, I had a wonderful afternoon revisiting and learning from some of the masters. I wasn't really prepared for how struck I was by Whistler's arrangement in grey and yellow. Nor did I expect such a rush of joy as I got in front of Vermeers and Rembrandts. The acoustics in the central halls and stairways is atrociously horrible, but once I had a quiet moment in the magical library I was over it.

Nice array of paintings and various mediums but the museum was a bit confusing to navigate. Wish there were better signage and it was organized a bit better by artist. would definitely recommend getting a guided tour for this reason my sister was able to get a ticket but the rest were sold out.

What is a Hop-on Hop-off tour?

No rigid itinerary, no tourist trap tropes here, only pure, unfiltered discovery on double-deckers. So, get ready for the ultimate Amsterdam bus tour, delight in the panoramic views, and hop off as many times as you want.

Tips to make the best of your Hop-on Hop-off Amsterdam tour

  • Amsterdam isn’t a city to rush through. Take your time wandering the Rijksmuseum or soaking in the vibrant colors of Bloemenmarkt (the flower market). With the freedom to hop on and off, you can pause to sip a canal-side coffee, snap some picturesque bridges, and still catch the next bus without stress.
  • For a refreshing break from the city’s hustle, rent a bike in Amsterdam. Ride across the Amstel River and stop by the Ouderkerk aan de Amstel. This peaceful village, with its quaint houses and riverside cafes, is the perfect spot to relish some Dutch pancakes and take in serene views.
  • The city can be moody, weather-wise. If it’s sunny, head to the vibrant Jordaan neighborhood or the sprawling Vondelpark. For rainy days, hop off at indoor gems like the Van Gogh Museum or Anne Frank House. Keep an umbrella handy – this is Amsterdam, after all!
  • The city is just as magical from the water as it is from the streets. Opt for a canal cruise and float along the iconic Keizersgracht, Prinsengracht, and Herengracht canals. Pair this with a Gassan Diamond Factory tour, where you’ll witness master craftsmen at work and maybe even snag a dazzling souvenir.
  • Amsterdam loves a good event, so if you're visiting during King’s Day (April 27) or while a flea market pops up at Waterlooplein, you’re in for a treat. From the Amsterdam tulip festival to food truck bonanzas, these experiences will make your tour uniquely memorable.
