What our clients say about us...

“It was great! The boat tour was very relaxing. I loved everything, especially our guide Hellen.
Thank you!”
– Maghan

“This tour was a wonderful experience for my dad and I who traveled all the way from New Jersey. Chantel was amazing and taught us so much about Amsterdam and its history. She was very accommodating and we even went on a boat tour with her and a skipper where we explored most of the city which was amazing. Overall, we were very impressed and thoroughly enjoyed the tour.” – Jessica Brenner, USA

“If you visit Amsterdam, we really recommend you book a private tour with Amsterdam VIP Tours to make most out of your stay. The incredible Chantal picked us up at Conservatorium Hotel and showed us an Amsterdam that few people know, including a private cruise for us with a lovely captain. They are the best!” – Theresa Bernabe TV, Spain
