★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 254 reviews · 3 hours · from $68

Cycle through Dutch tulip fields near Keukenhof with a local guide, visit Tulip Experience Amsterdam, pick five tulips, and enjoy a stroopwafel.

“Although the tulips were late this year due to the colder weather it took nothing away from our experience, we still got to see the early tulips, daffodils and the beautiful smelling hyacinths. Ingrid was an excellent guide and provided local knowledge we would not have gotten without her. The pace of the tour was also very nice and we felt under no pressure from Ingrid to rush to the next stopping point.”

6.Amsterdam Small-Group Bike Tour With Canal Cruise, Drinks, Cheese

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 84 reviews · 3 to 4 hours (approx.) · from $72

Ride Amsterdam’s canals, parks, Jordaan, and windmill on a small-group bike tour with cheese, drinks, and a one-hour cruise.

“Great way to explore the city! We had a smaller group for the bike portion which made it nice to customize our experience a bit more. But if you’re not comfortable on a bike, this tour is not for you. There are a few hills to bike up and you will have to navigate through some busy streets. The canal cruise was great! Loved seeing all the architecture of the city and learning history behind the buildings and canals. They kept our glasses filled the entire time. So much fun and would recommend if you like to explore cities in a different way.”
