ptrpanpens Posted March 27, 2016 #101 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Ine, if you are still reading this thread......I was wanting to do the Culinaryexcursion I mentioned earlier but it looks like that may not happen. So, Instead of doing a tour, do you know if the Van Gogh Museum, The Jewish Museum and Portuguese Synagogue are within walking distance of The Banks Mansion? I may just decide to find somewhere to eat lunch, see these 3 places and then find somewhere to eat dinner near the hotel too. Lois, this tour might work for you. I am leaving April 17 for Amsterdam so will be interested in your cruise feedback. Anne http://jewishamsterdamtour.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lois R Posted March 27, 2016 Author #102 Share Posted March 27, 2016 (edited) Lois, this tour might work for you. I am leaving April 17 for Amsterdam so will be interested in your cruise feedback. Anne http://jewishamsterdamtour.com Hi Anne,:) that looks really good but to be honest with you, I am looking for something a little later (time wise). My flight is supposed to arrive at 8am and who knows if it will be on time.....and even if it is on time, I don't know the process of luggage, customs and getting a cab and I really don't want to have rush/worry about making a 10:00 tour. But thanks for the link:) Oh....I just read on the website they don't do tours on Wednesday's so I could not book it anyway. I arrive on a Wednesday morning. Oh my....I keep finding things on their website.......they are doing an afternoon tour on Wednesday. I may email them about it:)...it is about current Amsterdam, no museums or anything........I will have to decide what I want to do.

lobster129 Posted March 28, 2016 #103 Share Posted March 28, 2016 lobster129, I'll be cruising from Amsterdam in Aug 2017 as well. :) I saw that, but your cruise follows ours. You are welcomed to hop over too our roll call as I have created a website for us. I am still making daily additions, but you will find the link in my signature on the roll call. It's definitely not too soon to begin planning this trip. I at least want to determine what we want to do in AMS, so I can select a hotel that makes sense for proximity and travel needs.

lobster129 Posted March 28, 2016 #104 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Hi Becky! Good to see you! What cruise are you taking? Any Irish River Dancing on the schedule? Lol. We sail next year from AMS & around British Isles on Silhouette. This time with my DH, but there are other things to do in Dublin that I think he may enjoy more. I have recommended the Irish Dancing experience to several people since we did it. It was a great choice for a family! Becky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptrpanpens Posted March 28, 2016 #105 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Lois here is another tour that may work for you. The city tour is on Wednesdays but I did not check on the times. Anyway they get good reviews and the site has good information. Good luck. Guess you may have to return to Amsterdam to see it all.

vplsh Posted March 28, 2016 #107 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Hi Lisa, I emailed Hungry Birds again and they still need one more personto make a tour minimum:eek::(. I fly out a week from Tuesday. I am going to give it a few more days and if they don't have the amount of people needed I am going to do something else. Hi Lois, Try this one... http://www.eatingamsterdamtours.com/jordaan-food-walking-tour/ I think we are going to try it! Have a fantastic time and check back when you get home!

Cyber Kat Posted March 29, 2016 #110 Share Posted March 29, 2016 I'm excited because we've got concert tickets for a concert at the famous Concertgebouw in Amsterdam one night of our pre-cruise stay. I understand that there is a restaurant as part of the Concertgebouw complex in the Mirror Hall. I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with this or if you can recommend a restaurant in the area.

CruiseLady88 Posted April 9, 2016 #117 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Can any one tell me how much it will cost from AMS airport to PTA (passenger terminal Amsterdam)? Thanks! We are a group of 4 and need a van to the PTA from the airport. I hope that van taxi can be found at the airport. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check this website: http://www.schiphol.nl/Travellers/ToFromSchiphol/SchipholTravelTaxi.htm By putting in the zipcode 1019BR 27 it will tell you the cost. You can prebook on this side or simply take a cab from the airport. Yes there will be some vans, but it might involve some waiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylie Posted April 11, 2016 #119 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Hi! I didn't realize it either!! I think we'll book the Jordaan Food Tour for the Thursday we're there too. Let me know how your trip is! Hi Lisa, Lucky we booked this tour early since the June 2 date is full already. That means we will definitely be doing the canal portion of the tour too.

Kylie Posted April 12, 2016 #121 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Let me know how it is! And have a great cruise! Just an FYI - we got an email about the Jordaan Food tour this morning - it is going to be from 10:30-2:30 instead of 11-3:00 like advertised. Not sure why or if that happens often. That is fine with us but I suppose it could affect other people's plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why or if that happens often. That is fine with us but I suppose it could affect other people's plans. That's interesting. We are booked for Anne Frank House at 9:00, so I would be afraid if they changed it for us that we wouldn't have enough time. I'm thinking I may go with Hungry Birds like Lois did. I'm sure she'll report back! Have a great trip, Kristi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the 2 places aren't far from each other. Hungry Birds sounds great too - Enjoy your trip too, Lisa! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why or if that happens often. That is fine with us but I suppose it could affect other people's plans. I booked the Eating Amsterdam Tour for Saturday June 4 at 11 am and within a few days they emailed me to change the time to 10:30 am. Fortunately it still works with my schedule.
