The Experience

★★★★★★★★★★ 4.78 (76 reviews)

Honestly, I almost walked right past my own name on the sign—blame it on the jet lag or maybe just that weird feeling of stepping into Amsterdam after a night flight. The arrivals hall was humming (and a bit stuffy), but our driver, Jan, texted me before we even got to baggage claim. I’d half expected some confusion or wandering around, but there he was, grinning and waving like we were old friends. Not sure if it’s always this smooth, but it felt like a small relief after 11 hours in the air.

Jan helped wrangle our suitcases (mine had lost a wheel somewhere between Chicago and here), then led us out to his car parked just outside. He offered Wi-Fi right away—my partner’s phone was already dead—and pointed out where to spot the canal buses as we rolled out of Schiphol. There was this faint smell of rain on asphalt and coffee drifting in from somewhere (maybe his thermos?). He told us about Dutch traffic quirks (“Watch for bikes everywhere”) and suggested a bakery near our hotel for ontbijtkoek. I tried repeating it—he laughed, said my accent made it sound more German than Dutch.

The drive into Amsterdam wasn’t long—maybe 25 minutes?—but I remember watching the city shift from airport sprawl to those narrow brick streets and thinking how glad I was not to be figuring out trains or trams with two bags and zero sleep. Jan asked if we needed anything else before dropping us at the door; he even waited until we fumbled with the hotel buzzer just in case. It wasn’t flashy, but honestly, that quiet welcome set the tone for our whole trip.
