Amsterdam hop on/off
Boat was good, our guide JH was excellent. Bus was average, the commentary not overly interesting, driver/guide not overly friendly
via Viator
A tour of the out skirts of central Amsterdam.
We really didn’t appreciate how small the roads are in Amsterdam. Wherever we go to a new city, we always choose the hop on hop off to get bearings and understand a little bit of the location. This tour took you on a ring road around the centre of Amsterdam and stopped off at a diamond and Rolex Shop for a comfort break. The main sightseeing items are all covered by a bus stop annd titled accordingly. The explanations on the headsets were satisfactory and we were lucky with the weather being sunny as the bus was very full.
via Viator
Liked the boat driver but the bus driver basically said nothing
Need more boats and busses. We couldn’t do the diamond tour because it started in 20 minutes and the last boat was in 20 mins. These do not run 24 hours in a day like I thought.
via Viator
Touring the City on the on/off buses.
The on/off Bus helps us figure out our different excursions throughout the city. This is an inexpensive way to get to get around.
via Viator
Great way to get around city center by boat.
We had paid for bus and boat but wound up only doing the boat. Simon was our guide and a great guy. We just ran out of time.

Amsterdam Hop-On Hop-Off 24h or 48h Bus and Boat Option: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Amsterdam.
How much does Amsterdam Hop-On Hop-Off 24h or 48h Bus and Boat Option cost?
+
Prices start at $31 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Amsterdam usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Amsterdam Hop-On Hop-Off 24h or 48h Bus and Boat Option take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Amsterdam is not rushed.
Is Amsterdam Hop-On Hop-Off 24h or 48h Bus and Boat Option worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.4/5 across 2,017 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Amsterdam, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Amsterdam Hop-On Hop-Off 24h or 48h Bus and Boat Option?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Amsterdam Hop-On Hop-Off 24h or 48h Bus and Boat Option suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Amsterdam Hop-On Hop-Off 24h or 48h Bus and Boat Option?
+
Around 706 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Amsterdam can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Amsterdam and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Amsterdam Hop-On Hop-Off 24h or 48h Bus and Boat Option start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Amsterdam within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Amsterdam?
+
On Outty we rank every Amsterdam experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Amsterdam Food and Cultural Tour with 10 Tastings, Amsterdam Canal Cruise with Local Guide and Small Group, Amsterdam 90 minutes Canal Cruise with bar and snacks on board.. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Amsterdam?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Amsterdam?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
