Excellent full day . Well worth the money. Enjoyed the view from Enclosing Dyke. The windmill town of Zaanse Schans was great. Only wish we had more time there. The only thing we didn't get was our free gift from the Tulip Farm.

Doing what: I amsterdam Card - City Pass for Amsterdam
This card is great and by booking with Viator I was able to save a few pounds on the cost of buying directly at the airport. The voucher was exchanged easily for two cards - one for the museums and a transport card for the trams in the centre. Please note you can't use this to get from the airport to the centre, but they will sell you those tickets at the redemption place. The card was accepted easiely by all the museums on the list and it gave me the chance to try out some museums that I wouldn't have normally visited. I definately saved money by using the card. Would highly recommend.

Doing what: Amsterdam Super Saver 3: City Tour, Zaanse Schans Windmills, Volendam and Marken Day Trip
The tour was broken into two halves, with different buses and guides. The first half was tour of the city, a stop a the Zananse Schans Windmill and a tour of the diamond factory. You see the city from the bus and make a 10 minute stop to take a picture infront of a windmill. The city is small enough that you can really get more out of traveling on your own by foot. The second half of the tour ROCKED!!! (As evidenced by the fact that the bus was completely full for this portion). Our guide was fantastic and the villages of Volendam and Marken were fun. Surprisingly, the woodend shoe factory was my favorite part of the trip. You definately need to take a tour of somekind to see something outside of the city proper. I would just recommend booking the second portion of the tour as a stand alone tour, rather then the one including the city tour.

Doing what: Zaanse Schans Windmills, Marken and Volendam Half-Day Trip from Amsterdam
Worth doing to see something more than just Amsterdam. Zaanse Schans Windmills were the best part. Would have liked longer there. The visit to the "cheese maker" - or rather cheese shop was a bit of a disappointment. It was just a sales pitch. Would have liked more of the time for just looking round Volendam. Marken and the clog maker was interesting. The information/commentary on the bus was very interesting and informative.

It's worth purchasing the city card if you are staying in the city central and staying longer in amsterdam. It's disappointing that the card was not applicable to the train. Only trams and certain bus.

This pass is very good value for money and i would recommend it to anyone visiting Amsterdam. It was invaluable with the public transport and museum entries.

This card is well worth it! It offers discounted and sometimes free admission to museums, excursions ect. The tram pass made it easier and simple to get around the city! I would highly recommend this card, you save money.

I found this tour really wonderful and I fully satisfied with it.
We went to all the said placeses and really enjoy the scenery and activity. The guy at Marken village and the Dutch girl at the Volendam cheese market are so funny and very friendly. Just need to make sure you are on time as the tour office are very particular on the time.

A really good day out. The tulip farm is really interesting and the windmill is also very good. A good way to see some countryside too.
