Amsterdam hop-on hop-off tours combine sightseeing with the freedom to leave the vehicle at designated stops and continue later. Choose a bus route, a canal-boat route or an option including both, depending on what you want to see and how much time you have.
Read the option name carefully: a hop-on hop-off boat and a fixed canal cruise are different products. Some combinations pair a flexible bus ticket with one continuous cruise. Attraction entry, hotel transfers and food are not automatically included.

Plan your stops and final departure
Use the City Sightseeing Amsterdam app and your booking confirmation for current stop locations. The featured GetYourGuide product has different starting points depending on the selected option; it is not a hotel pickup service.
A full bus circuit is listed at around 60–75 minutes, before time spent at stops. Operating hours and the final boarding time can differ between bus and boat. Recheck the day’s schedule and allow time to return before the last departure.
Frequently Asked Questions - FAQ
Does every ticket include both bus and boat?
No. Products may offer bus-only, boat-only or combined versions. Select the option you want; the lowest displayed price may cover only one transport mode.
Is a canal cruise the same as a hop-on hop-off boat?
No. A hop-on hop-off boat lets you leave at designated stops and reboard during the valid period. Some bus combinations instead include one continuous LOVERS canal cruise. Read the option details.
How long is the ticket valid?
The featured listings offer 24-hour or 48-hour versions depending on the option. Check when validity starts and the operating schedule; validity does not mean vehicles run all night.
Are museum and attraction entries included?
No. The featured GetYourGuide transport offer excludes attraction entry. Museums and other paid sights need their own booking unless a specific combination explicitly includes them.
Where do I board the bus or boat?
Use the current route map and your booking confirmation. The featured GetYourGuide listing has different starting locations depending on the selected option; stops and routes may change.
How long does a bus circuit take?
The featured GetYourGuide description lists approximately 60–75 minutes for the bus circuit, before you add stops. Allow extra time for traffic, boarding and visits.
Are hotel pickup and meals included?
No. The featured transport offer excludes hotel pickup and drop-off, food and drinks. Travel to your selected boarding point independently.
Can a large group board together?
The operator warns that groups of 10 or more may not fit on the same bus or boat at once. Allow flexibility and check group arrangements before booking.
