Jul 30 - Aug 7, 2026
Kimkim allowed us to design a trip that fit our personalities and needs - guidance on what to see as well as reservations for key museums and bike rentals. It felt like a trip that we designed rather than a large group tour, but was much better than I could have done on my own without some knowledge of the country. During the planning phase, Bas was great at responding to our requested changes and questions.
We had a few glitches as we arrived, but the team (either Bas or Meike) responded very promptly and helped us to get back on track.
Hotel Reviews
Rooms were very nice, and since it's August, we appreciated the air-conditioning. Staff were helpful.
Henk and Anne-Marie are amazing hosts. They helped orient us to the city, find some places to eat, and shared information about events taking place. The breakfasts were simple and delicious. We were traveling as a family, and we were able to have a space in our room to play boardgames and wind down for the evening.
The location was great in the city, but our room was very small and musty with little air circulation. We were there during some hot days in August and there didn't seem to be any fans or solutions available even when we asked. Luckily, our party had two rooms, and the other room had a fan that they shared with us. The staff were kind, but didn't have the English skills needed to assist our basic knowledge of Dutch; this led to a few instances of miscommunication that left us all frustrated.
Activity Reviews
The Private Grand Dutch Food and History Tour in Amsterdam was fabulous. It was such a great way to arrive in the city, combining a tour with some delicious food. It was very convenient as we didn't have to find a place for dinner that first night. I would highly recommend this activity to anyone visiting Amsterdam.
The museums we visited, including the Rijksmuseum, were fabulous. We really enjoyed the cultural experience and the art collections.
The canal cruise in Amsterdam was fun and enjoyable. It was a nice way to see the city from a different perspective and relax after walking tours.
