Q:What are the best tours in Amsterdam?
A:

There are hundreds of great Amsterdam tours you can add to your itinerary, with something to suit every travel interest and budget. Some of the current tours with the top ratings from previous travelers are:

Q:Are guided tours in Amsterdam worth it?
A:

Yes, adding Amsterdam tours to your trip to this fascinating city is definitely worth it. You can certainly explore on your own. But your visit to the Dutch capital is greatly enhanced with a tour or two—like an expert-led walk through the fabulous Rijksmuseum, a history lesson in the city’s Jewish quarter, or a leisurely boat trip along Amsterdam’s network of canals.

Q:How much do Amsterdam tours cost?
A:

The price range of Amsterdam tours varies considerably, largely dependent on a tour’s duration and what’s included. There are hour-long sightseeing boat tours that start at around US$20–30 per person, with multi-day Amsterdam itineraries costing US$1,000 and up per person. Many of the most popular options are in the US$20–50 range, including boat rides, bike tours, and even day trips.

Q:What do you see on Amsterdam tours?
A:

Amsterdam isn’t huge, but there is so much to see. You can visit major art museums like the Rijksmuseum, explore the historic Jewish quarter, cycle through the streets like the locals, sample some of the city’s delicious food, or see city landmarks while you drift along on a canal boat. There are also numerous options that include trips into the countryside.

Q:How many days in Amsterdam is enough?
A:

Since the city is relatively small and easy to get around, you could probably see the major attractions in a 3-day stay. But if you want to see Amsterdam and some of the surrounding area (or prefer traveling more leisurely), you may want to plan for five days in the Dutch capital.

Q:What is the best month to visit Amsterdam?
A:

Summers in Amsterdam can be pretty crowded and expensive, so many travelers agree that the best time to visit is in one of the shoulder seasons: the spring months of April and May or the fall months of September–November. The weather is usually still warm, though it can get chilly after dark, and crowds aren’t quite as big as in the summer high season.
