Amsterdam City Highlights Shuttle
Overview
Our tour offers a personalized, flexible experience that’s much more than a typical hop-on hop-off service. We ensure that each stop is meaningful, giving you the opportunity to explore Amsterdam’s top locations while enjoying a relaxed pace. Unlike regular tours, we make sure to stop at every location for 5 minutes, allowing guests the time to take photos or simply enjoy the sights.
With us, communication is key—after the driver sends a message in the morning, they remain reachable throughout the day, ensuring your comfort and peace of mind. Plus, for private tours, we can offer even greater flexibility in terms of stop times and locations, tailored specifically to your preferences.
For added convenience, you are welcome to bring a small backpack (maximum size 20x30x40 cm). Whether you’re traveling in a group or opting for a private experience, our focus is on making sure you have a smooth, enjoyable, and memorable journey around Amsterdam!
