Our host said that taxi fare is about €50 to the house.
(We are not interested in taking a train, bus, tram, jet ski, drone, horse & buggy, etc. Only looking for info on Uber or taxi.)
You DO NOT tip with Uber, especially in Amsterdam.
It is meant to be a seamless electronic transaction.
Uber is almost always a better experience than a taxi, in Amsterdam.
