City Sightseeing Amsterdam: your ticket to the city

This combi ticket is perfect for when you have limited time in the city. With an option for a 24-hour ticket and a 48-hour ticket you can choose the ticket that fits your schedule. With both the boats and buses of City Sightseeing Amsterdam at your disposal, there are a multitude of stops for you to travel between.

The boat has stops along the city’s main canals, making an extended canal cruise. You can hop off the boat at sights such as the Rijksmuseum, Anne Frank House and Central Station. The bus has stops around the city centre, not in the centre itself, taking you to the Jordaan, Jewish Cultural Quarter and Passenger Terminal, amongst other places.

Easy, convenient and comfortable travel in Amsterdam

With the free City Sightseeing Amsterdam app you can easily find all the stops in the city and track where the buses and boats are at any given time. On both the bus and boat you will have free access to Wi-Fi, so that you can share your experiences online and track your location in the app. The buses and boats also have stops in common so that you can switch between the two when you want.

Both the boats and buses offer panoramic views of the city, with big glass windows, and a glass roof on the buses and retractable roofs on the boats. When you hop on board, you will be given a set of head phones, so you can listen to the on board audio guide. This audio guide will tell you more about what you see outside the windows as well as fun facts about the city.

There was also the canal cruise and even though the information was similar we did enjoy the ride and the sites

The bus tour itself was very informative and very nice. Since there was no actual address, finding the bus pick up spot was a challenge and was a little frustrating. We did have a nice time

Great tours but need better information

I highly recommend both the Hop On-Hop Off bus and boat tours. You can save a lot by purchasing a combined ticket at your hotel for either 24 or 48 hours (32.50 or 42.50 Euros). That said, be aware of the following: 1. Bus Stop 1 'Central Station' is actually a walk to the east on the canal front towards Musiekgebouw concert hall (if you look up you'll see the sign on top of the building). Look for the red HOHO banner on the roadsideof De Ruijterkade; 2. Bus Stop 2 'Passenger Terminal Amsterdam' is a misleading description. The stop is across a road, a tram track and then a main road from the Terminal; 3. Boat Stop 1 'Central Station East' is actually down some steps to the water directly in front of Loetje Restaurant to the SE of the Station; 4. Boat Stop 2 'Passenger Terminal Amsterdam' is also misleading. The stop is across the canal inlet from the Musiekgebouw in front of Waterfront Amsterdam cafe. Look for green & yellow signs. There is no red HOHO sign! Hopefully this info will save you the confusion we encountered on our first visit to this busy, bustling city.

If you want a great experiences, use the app!

The key to making the most of this experience is to use the app. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our experience, because we were constantly aware of our location and the location of each bus and boat. As we left our hotel, we realized that a boat was nearing stop 4, so we decided to start with a boat. Throughout the sailing journey, we used the provided earbuds to listen to the commentary. We learned a lot during a nice leisurely trip through the canals. Later, we hopped on a bus at stop 4, then got off at 9, because we wanted to explore Vondelpark and the surrounding area. When we were done there, we got back on a bus and went to stop 10, where we walked to/through the Jordaan area and to the Ann Frank house. When finished there, we recognized that there were no buses close to our location, but a boat was on the way, so we decided to hop on another boat. The system is laid out well, and the app makes it easy to see the locations of buses and boats in real time. You don't have to stand at a stop, wondering when the bus or boat will come. Our bus drivers were not so pleasant, but our boat skipper (both times) was a very nice person who has be navigating boats for more than 30 years. Her name was either Pirka or Prika. Very nice person, like most of the Dutch people we met in our time in the Netherlands.

Good if you don;t know the area

We went on the hop on hop off bus as the weather was not good and we didn't really know where to go. Cost 27 euros per person. 10 stops on route. Starts at 10.00am and stops at 7pm. Interesting places to get off and areas to look around, we found the Heineken Experience and Gassan Diamonds

Relaxing Canal Boat Ride

Every time I go to a new major city, particularly when I'm abroad, I always buy tickets on the hop-on, hop-off bus. It really is the most efficient way to see the main stops and be able to get off and get back on when you've finished. In Amsterdam, you get the extra treat of being able to take a canal boat ride as well. Of the two, for me, the canal boat rides was hands down the best. Our boat operator was very nice and it was just such a serene experience to float down these canals and see all the charming architecture and sites of interest. I was just so relaxed the entire time. The bus, sadly didn't have as much on the route. There are nine stops but thee wasn't as much to see from the bus routes as you do from the boat. Likewise, I saw some things from the bus that were not near the canals to see from the boat. I still advise to get a ticket with both bus and boat so you don't miss a single inch of this beautiful city.

Muy buena introducción a Ámsterdam

Tomamos la opción del tour en bus con paseo en barco por los canales de la ciudad. Las paradas de la ruta en bus no están señalizadas, pero no es responsabilidad de la empresa sino de las regulaciones municipales que lo impiden. De todos modos, a través de la app se pueden encontrar y seguir en tiempo real los buses. El tour ofrece un buen panorama de Ámsterdam, por tierra y por el río. Brinda mucha información sobre diversos aspectos de la ciudad y datos útiles para la estadía. A diferencia de servicios similares de la empresa en otras ciudades, este tour valió realmente la pena.

Très belle visite

En couple pour un week end à Amsterdam c'est une façon idéal d'avoir un aperçue rapide de la ville avant de se lancer dans la visite des musées. La visite des canaux en bateau super agréable, par contre la visite en bus n'apporte rien, c'est une perte de temps. Les explications en plusieurs langues et bien fait. A recommander sans hésitation.

Tour amsterdam

La verdad es que voy muy a menudo a amsterdam a ver a la familia y a los amigos. Pero mientras ellos trabajan yo hago tours para visitar la ciudad. Y hoy dia 21/1/2020 he vuelto de amsterdam. Pero la diferencia de otros años es que este año he cogido hop on hop off del bus y barco turistico del tour and tickets. Y mi opinion es que a estado mb a mi me gustado mucho, me baje en la parada del tour de diamantes y mas que es gratuito y despues cuando acabe coji el siguiente bus sin ningun problema. Los que tengais que ir a amsterdam es la mejor forma de visitar la ciudad y mas guiada a idioma que querais.

Sympa à faire si on aime aussi marcher

Très pratique pour nous rapprocher des points d'intérêt. Il faut forcément marcher et c'est beaucoup plus contraignant sur les transports en commun mais je trouve le concept assez sympa et pratique. Tout le personnel est sympa, accueillant. Audio guide multilingue pour profiter des commentaires le long du chemin. Et vraiment appréciable quand il fait froid. Nous avons aussi profiter du combiné avec le bateau hop on hop off qui nous emmène beaucoup plus au centre d'Amsterdam

consigliato

abbiamo fatto sia il giro in bus che quello in boat. in bus è meno "suggestivo", ma interessante. mentre quello in battello è super. Consigliato

Bel giro in battello ma attese un pò lunghine

Abbiamo preso il pacchetti comprensivo del giro in battello con linea verde e blu e ci hanno incluso anche il giro in bus. L'attesa presso la stazione centrale è stata snervante (+ di 1 ora), mentre gli altri stop non sono stai mai puntuali, ma in compenso il giro è stato piacevole. Il giro in bus è piuttosto inutile in quanto gira fuori Amsterdam (Le vie del centro sono impercorribili dai bus) quindi consiglio di non includerlo.

Ottimo servizio

Ho utilizzato il biglietto combinato bus&boat. Vedere Amsterdam dai canali e con le spiegazioni è un'ottima cosa. In più le fermate sono vicine alle attrazioni più importanti. Ottima anche la app gratuita che funziona off line per vedere in tempo reale dove si trovano autobus e barche e itenpi di attesa. Davvero ottimo servizio

Para no perderse en Ámsterdam

Teníamos muchas ganas de conocer lo principal de la ciudad sin perdernos, y esta resulta ser la mejor alternativa, los buses pasan con regularidad y puedes elegir qué conocer más detenidamente. Absolutamente recomendado.

Ideal para ubicarte en Amsterdam y sus lugares de interés

Excelente servicio, con personal muy amable y audioguía en diferentes idiomas. Recorrimos la ciudad de Amsterdam, identificando sus lugares emblemáticos: la Casa de Anna Frank, el barrio judío, la Estación Central y Damrak, etc. Muy recomendable¡¡¡

Buena opción para pasear por lo canales!

Esta es una muy buena opción para conocer y explorar, especialmente los canales. Tienen tres líneas, roja, azul y verde. La roja es el bus y las otras dos son circuitos de botes. Nosotros sólo tuvimos tiempo para los paseos en bote. Maravilloso y relajante. Creo es la mejor manera de recorrer los canales. Los botes son cómodos, el servicio de audio guía funciona muy bien y el personal es súper amable. La aplicación, que en mi opinión es una excelente herramienta, es gratuita y brinda info en vivo de las rutas de los autobuses y barcos, lo que resulta muy útil para manejar los tiempos de espera (la frecuencia es de unos 30 minutos) y para encontrar las paradas que no están muy señaladas (por regulaciones de la ciudad, creo). Habíamos leído sobre los tiempos de espera así que decidimos hacer el paseo completo y luego visitar las atracciones y nos funcionó muy bien. Recomendaciones - Bajarse la aplicación días antes del viaje para familiarizarse con ella y los circuitos. - Si vas en verano llevar una gorra para el sol. - La línea azul de los botes es la más simpática y con ella te llevas una buena idea de los canales, aunque la verde también tiene su encanto. - Con el tour de 24H me parece suficiente. Amsterdam es una ciudad que se disfruta mucho caminando y visitando sus museos y otras atracciones. Altamente recomendable, sobre todo el paseo en bote!!!

En trevlig och intressant tur.

Trevlig personal. Bra ljud i hörlurarna under guidningen, stördes dock ibland av att bussens egen personal talade samtidigt.

Leuke daguitstap

Zeer leuke daguitstap gehad met dit concept. Eerst de hop on hop off boot genomen. Deze rondrit duurt ongeveer 2.5u en is super leuk. Daarna de hop on hop off bus genomen en dus duurt ongeveer een 70tal minuten. Via social deal deze tickets gekocht. Scheelt toch de helft van de prijs als je ze aan het bureau zelf koopt.

Le Bateau City Sightseeing plus que le Bus

de par ses canaux, il est préférable de visiter la "venise du nord" en bateau. Le circuit d'une durée de 2H30 est excellent . Le circuit du bus d'1H30 ne fait pratiquement que le tour du centre de la ville.

Super leuke dag!

Wij mochten 2 kaarten weggeven aan de winnaars van ons tennistoernooi. Ik heb zojuist vernomen dat zij vandaag een super leuke dag hebben gehad met de hop on- hop off bus & boat. Nogmaals dank voor de sponsoring!
