    Beautiful.

    My family and I spent 2 beautiful hours at this facility because we discovered a unique reality, that is, regarding the processing of diamonds, and above all we thank the employee Mr. Anas Salama for his professionalism, availability and illustration of the product.

    If you want to see Diamonds - the Royal Diamond tour is the way to go!

    The Royal Coster Diamond Experience was a wonderful and excellent experience that I and my sister would highly recommend. My sister wanted to do a diamond tour and I went back and forth as to where to do the tour and then what type of tour. We were actually able to do a tour with Royal Coster and another diamond center during our trip. If I had to choose one, I would recommend Royal Coster. Our guide, Hans, was very knowledgeable about diamonds and had an excellent personality for showing the factory and the diamonds. The tour is not a long tour but it is very interesting and truthfully we wanted to see the diamonds! With the Royal Coster Diamond Experience we were given an individual tour, and a gift bag. We then were able to see the diamonds - loose diamonds were brought out and shown to us. We were then able to shop in the store and try on jewelry. My sister ended up purchasing a ring and they bent over backwards to ensure that the ring was sized appropriately and that we had all of the necessary paperwork. It was one of the highlights of our trip.

    A great learning experience.

    This was a great experience to learn about diamonds , their natural creation, polishing and get a much better understanding of diamond quality , polishing and the charisma of these gem stones. Additionally you get to learn about the history and legacy of Royal Coster and an overview of the diamond industry. Our guide was excellent , knowledgeable , friendly and fun, easy to talk to and discuss every aspect of diamonds. Finally there is a small museum that you can view at you leisure.

    Highly recommended Tour

    We were welcomed on entry and had a private tour with the representative who was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. It was nice to talk to some of the team that were working at the stations and its reassuring and nice to see that they had been with the company for many many years in particular the goldsmith took an interest in a ring that was a family heirloom. The team were great and a visit is highly recommended.

    Amsterdam: Royal Experience at Oldest Diamond Factory: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Amsterdam.

    How much does Amsterdam: Royal Experience at Oldest Diamond Factory cost?

    +

    Prices start at $40 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: Royal Experience at Oldest Diamond Factory 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: Royal Experience at Oldest Diamond Factory worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 86 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Amsterdam, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Amsterdam: Royal Experience at Oldest Diamond Factory?

    +

    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: Royal Experience at Oldest Diamond Factory 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: Royal Experience at Oldest Diamond Factory?

    +

    Around 30 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: Royal Experience at Oldest Diamond Factory 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 Canal Cruise with Local Guide and Small Group, Guided Bike Tour of Amsterdam's Highlights & Hidden Gems, Amsterdam: Luxury Canal Cruise including Cocktails & Snacks. 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.
