Amsterdam King's Day

Lots of activities and information! Map and annotated itinerary provided on arrival. Loved my trip manager she was 10/10 making sure everyone had fun and was included. Definitely don’t overpack like I did and don’t overthink it. Be prepared to spend money on the extra activities which were over €100 but they are worth the money and gives you chance to get to know everyone

Loz (Lauren) and Andre were an awesome team! Loz had great every and was super helpful! The trip overall was lots of fun!

Could not beat the price of this trip. The accommodations were really good for the hostel.

Would so go again!! Had the best time, the tour guides were amazing (Andre was super kind and Lauren was hysterical!!), and the city had so many hidden gems!

Kings day was actually raining so there wasn’t as much of a street party as what I had in mind but the group we were with made sure to make the most of it! Which is all that matters really

It was nice to have the freedom to be able to see and do what we wanted, vs always having something planned. I enjoyed all the free time. The only thing I didn't like was how early we got dropped in Amsterdam on King's day; we were in the city by around 10, and nothing really happens till the afternoon. I liked that you have the option to arrive and leave from Amsterdam, vs having to arrive and leave from London.

Jennifer helped me so much with this purchased and provided me all the options for routes to take, making it a smooth process.

Kingsday was awesome! Such a fun time and Amsterdam is a beautiful place! Bring a jacket and possible umbrella as the weather changes quickly. Enjoy!

Expensive for what it was woth

Great value - under £300 for transport and accommodation on one of the busiest weekends of the year!

You definitely got your money’s worth

Amsterdam is a GORGEOUS place to go and what an amazing experience. Truly recommend others to go and have a fantastic time!

I had so much fun on this trip! Brando and João made the trip so fun! I wasn’t expecting to have such an awesome time!

This trip is a blast, I plan to go again next year. Based on my experience on this trip I have also booked another trip this year with Contiki.

Great party, never experienced anything like it. Such a awesome city

Amazing trip! Amazing people!

I had a great time. An absolote blast. We where made believe that out hotel was right in the middle of it when really it was quite far away from the action. I meet the tour group in amsterdam....which is my biggest regret. When everyone arrived we didn't get integrated to the group. We actually got separated and isolated from everyone. We didn't get introduced or anything so I never actually meet half my group because they had no idea who I was. The others that meet the group there felt the same. Like an us and them kind of feeling. Everything was really early...after a night of partying 8am starts were ridiculous and on kings day the coach into the city left so early there wasn't a hole lot going on when we got there. The pub crawl was probably the best part contiki organised. I feel like I paid for a very expensive subpar hotel because i didnt get a whole lot from contiki itself. On kings day itself we just got dumped in the city and left to ourselves i feel contiki need to be more involved on actually kings day. the clog and cheese factory was very short and again very early in the day after kings day. Everything seemed very rushed and we didn't get to do our canal cruise because the bus was late and it wasn't rescheduled either. I did have a good time but I feel it would of been better if I actually knew and was introduced to my group and had some friends. The hotel definitly needs to be closer to the city too i spent 100 on taxis mostly because I didn't know anyone else in the group to split it with and it was so far away.a group photo would of been a good suviner too but that didn't happen

Good and friendly staff!!

Hotel had bed bugs, card for hotel room was reset daily so also had to continually return to reception.
