Don't go bus... Maybe the canal is better. I stupidly thought this would be a good way to suss the lay of the city. My bad. We were roasted and toasted under perspex for over an hour. I really recommend walking instead... This beautiful city should be seen as it was intended to, and that's definitely not from a bus, under perspex mid summer. Totally my mistake.
This was a good way to get get acclimated to the city. We always enjoy this at the beginning of a new trip/location. The pick-up stops weren’t well marked at all. I know there is a law regarding signage in Amsterdam, perhaps you can think of another way to do this..: marking on the ground?
Nice way to get an overview of the city. The stops could be hard to find if you wanted to get on at a different place than you got off. For us it was better to just go through the entire route in one sitting. We enjoyed the boat more than the bus.
River cruise better than the bus ride. However the cruise captain was quite rude and condescending. This was quite surprising as we have never encountered this in a Hop on Hop bus before
We ended up not able to use this terrible HOHO service because what is not mentioned is each bus stop is a 30 to 45 minute wait on the bus and boats. It is not really a way to explore Amsterdam as it would literally take you all day to make it through all the stops. I am guessing they do not have enough boats, buses or drivers and/or do not want to spend expensive gas running them. We could not get a refund even though we did not use the tickets. Do yourself a favor and download the Amsterdam public transit app. Much cheaper, flexible and faster way to see the city.
the hoho bus was okay however, the hoho boat was disappointing! it only ran for the first day(24hrs) and did not operate the 2nd day! company claims a "special parade celebration" was happening on the river so not able to operate their boats. however, many other boats and other company boats were running and sailing that same day!!??
No one stopped to let us hop on at stop 2. We waited 2 hours. Poor app, poor communication. Poor captain.
audio system did not work so we knew nothing about where we were Almost all locations , museums were closed
Very little narration, so we learned virtually nothing about Amsterdam. The drive through the city was very fast and jerky no time to see anything along the way to the stops.
I got the hop on hop off boat and bus tour. The boat tour was not available the day I wanted because of the World Pride canal parade. That is something they should have made me aware of.
