Able Amsterdam Testimonials

“Thank you Josephine for creating such a great blog for wheelchair accessibility in Amsterdam. Your blog saved our stay when we were first placed at a hotel that was not wheelchair accessible. Our client and the manager at the first hotel started calling other hotels in Amsterdam without luck. Thankfully I found Social Hub Amsterdam City through your blog and it worked out great!”

"Josephine and Able Amsterdam was a fantastic resource when my husband and I were looking for advice on how to spend our 10 hour layover in Amsterdam! I use a manual wheelchair and Josephine provided us with so many ideas, taking into consideration our timing, my accessibility needs, and our interests. Able Amsterdam is a wealth of knowledge on accessible adventures and genuinely wants travellers to enjoy everything Amsterdam has to offer! She even let me know where I could rent an adapted bike to get around more easily!"

"As a disabled expat who moved to Amsterdam, I found myself frequently coming across Able Amsterdam and benefiting from it. Thank you for making it just a bit easier for those outside their comfort zones to reach their maximum potential in this city."

"When we started organising an inclusive event in Amsterdam (a city that we didn't know before) it was through Able Amsterdam that we found relevant information about accessibility. This platform guided us while planning the main accessibility details. I would definitely recommend Able Amsterdam as the first tool when considering an accessible trip to Amsterdam."

José, Portugal

“Thorough and plentiful information on museums, attractions and experiences covering topics of wheelchair accessibility and interesting facts or special highlights! Super helpful for first time visitors of Amsterdam and locals seeking new places to go to!“

“My dad is in a wheelchair (triple amputee missing both legs and left arm) and will be joining us in Amsterdam this April. Amsterdam is one of my most favorite cities in the world and I have looked forward to being able to share it with my parents for quite some time, but I have been nervous about accessibility issues since much of Europe is not nearly as accessible as the United States (where my parents live). Your website has given me a lot of great info as well as confidence that this will be an amazing trip.”

Nicole, Germany

"We are inveterate travelers used to adventures, but are now facing issues of limited mobility. The cruise which started in Amsterdam was our all important trial run under new physical restrictions. We were rather anxious, but our early contact with Josephine and Able Amsterdam immediately put us at ease. She is clearly compassionate as well as knowledgable, and directed us expertly to find the walking aids we needed, close to our hotel. It was quite like having a friend who cared, as well as an expert in the city. We are grateful indeed.”

"I met the founder of Able Amsterdam [Josephine] at Amsterdam Central Station. She started talking to me and I ended up following her account on Instagram. As someone who uses a wheelchair due to a muscle condition, Able Amsterdam has been handy for me to know about."

Kadi, The Netherlands

“Josephine's recommendations help me to get out of the house more often without additional stress about whether a location is wheelchair-friendly or not. She's recommending original venues and events, which makes her website stand out even more. Thanks for bringing joy to Amsterdam for all the people needing a bit of extra accessibility!”

Eline, The Netherlands

“We were amazed to hear from Josephine on a Sunday evening that she could deliver a wheelchair for Natalie to use on the following Tuesday. My daughter and I both highly recommend Able Amsterdam. In fact, we have shared their contact information with our hotel, should this need arise again with another visitor, since the hotel was not equipped to help us when we arrived.”
