β β β β β An OK tour to learn a little about diamonds. Good that it was included in the cost of our hop on hop off tour as separate, it would be worth it in my view. Maybe if you are from Africa... You may want to avoid, Diamonds are mainly from Africa.

β β β β β Do you want to know why diamond prices vary so much?
If your answer is yes, then this is the right place for you to go. Be aware that taking your girlfriend with you would be a huge mistake, especially if you are planning on getting engaged.
My friends and I booked a water tour that included the ticket to get into this museum. I thought we were going to walk around and see some diamonds, but boy I was wrong. They do not keep any secrets to themselves. As soon as we walked in, the host started telling us the history of diamonds, he pointed us toward the windows were we could see some experts cutting and polishing the diamonds, then we went to a room where he started asking questions about why are some diamonds more expensive than others, that was the moment when I got super excited to know and learn more about these beautiful crystals.
We learned about the "carats weight, the color, shape, the cut, the clarity. How do all elements matter when purchasing a diamond was truly an enigma to me until that day. We learned about "the Orange" a 14.82-carat pear shaped gem that was sold for more than $35 million at Christie's . On the same room, they display dazzling rings, crowns, necklaces and so on with multiple diamonds and other gems.
Going back to my previous comment, if you want to impress your girlfriend or future wife, don't take her to this place, because she will become an expert and will easily identify how much you actually paid for her engagement ring.

β β β β β A remarkably impressive place, the facility is involved in cutting and polishing diamonds since 1879. 5 generations of one family looking after the same business and taking it forward. The staff is extremely professional and visit gives an amazing insight into the process through which diamond goes through. Cutting and refining process undertaken delicately at Gassan Diamonds is superb. The display of rings and diamonds in enticing and gents need to be careful, women can just drool over those shiny diamonds. Brilliant 121 cut by Gassan is amazingly beautiful and brilliant 57 is also marvellous. City sight tour busses at Amsterdam stop here for the free factory tour. Also accessible by cruise boat. The tour is free, entails lots of learning and valuable experience, the tour ends with a complimentary cup of coffee or tea. Worthwhile experience, must do while in Amsterdam.

β β β β β Itβs an wonderful experience being here and unlike other places where they push you to buy something, here they were genuine. They genuinely explain the science and business behind the diamond trade and quality. You donβt feel intimidated here but would have a flair to buy. Glad we took this trip and bought. The free breaches was part of hospitality. Great tour Gassan establishment, good to know about Mr. Samuel Gassan history.
Great buy in their store and they clearly explain on the tax return too. Liked the service and good visit.

β β β β β I had visited Gassan Diamond factory at Amsterdam 3rd January,2020 with my wife. It was wonderful experience, the guide took us on tour of the factory and explained in detail about cutting polishing of diamond with demostration. They showed us variety of diamonds and explained about the quality, here we show exclusive collection of top brand watches, diamonds and jewelry. They also told us history of the Gassan Diamond. We enjoyed the trip .

β β β β β We enjoyed a great experience on a lovely Amsterdam Sunday at Gassan. We learned a lot about the whole process from a 'small rock' to a diamond.
We've learned about the colors, brilliant and their Gassan 121.
Our guide Isa was super knowledgeable and friendly answering all our questions. The craftsmanship is amazing to see.
We ended with a lovely high tea. We will be back with guests for sure and highly recommend a tour.

β β β β β I was fortunate enough to visit and tour their magnificent factory a few years back. I admire the heritage of the business, but also the excellent artisans that work and cut/polish the diamonds . I'll be visiting Amsterdam again in May, and looking forward to visiting again.
