Would recommend!
Lovely experience - everyone was so kind! Loved the painting class and would recommend doing the tour prior before the buses of visitors arrive.

Meh
We arrived and there was virtually no one there.. we eventually found someone and were set up upstairs with some wooden shoes and paint. Not very engaging. Had a brief tour with some other people and saw how they make cheese and shoes… 20 min total. Had some ok food while we painted by yourselves for an hour and a half. Then paid and left. Nice place to visit but wouldn’t do it again. People very hospitable.

no guidance
First, getting there is a hassle if you don't have a car. We took UBER and the cost was about 40 EU. Then when we got there, there were a couple of young girls who didn't seem to speak English well. When they saw my confirmation and knew what we were there for they took us to a second floor room, gave us a pair of wooden shoes; paint brushes; paint and stencils and left. Since this was listed as a "guided" activity I expected more guidance. The shoes were raw wood, not dried or sealed, and it took several coats to cover them. Meantime someone came to check on us and asked if we wanted anything to drink. I asked for a coke since drinks and snacks were included. Later I was charged for that. Once we had an even coat of paint we tried to apply the stencils. They did not work at all. They were too stiff to conform to the shoes. Someone came and brought more stencils and said the girls would help us but after that person left the girls said they didn't know how to do it. They also had a shoe making demonstration and a large well stocked gift shop.

A lovely change of pace
We had a lovely time painting our clogs, followed by a clog making demonstration and also a short talk about cheese making. Also had the opportunity to taste some of the cheeses. Would recommend this for relaxing change of pace from city centre Amsterdam

Great day
Something unique and fun to do. My 14 yr old son and I painted wooden shoes, had lunch and then did the cheese making workshop. Had lots of fun.

Why this scores 55
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Wooden Shoes Painting Private Workshop in Simonehoeve: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Amsterdam.
How much does Wooden Shoes Painting Private Workshop in Simonehoeve cost?
+
Prices start at $37 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 Wooden Shoes Painting Private Workshop in Simonehoeve take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours 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 Wooden Shoes Painting Private Workshop in Simonehoeve worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 6 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 Wooden Shoes Painting Private Workshop in Simonehoeve?
+
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 Wooden Shoes Painting Private Workshop in Simonehoeve suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Wooden Shoes Painting Private Workshop in Simonehoeve?
+
Around 2 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Wooden Shoes Painting Private Workshop in Simonehoeve 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.

+

+
