A stress-free tour tailored to you

When you’re in a new city, it’s nice to have your hand held.

Lawrence background in art and architecture makes him a perfect guide for Amsterdam. We walked, see and learn the city history from medieval times and first Canal to present. At the same time we found out where we can find the best chocolate place in Amsterdam or the place with beautiful Delft ceramics. We had a fabulous day with him.

This was a personalized walking tour of the old part of Amsterdam. Wendy met all our requests and tailored the trip to our interests. She walked at a good pace for us and her English was excellent. If you’re unfamiliar with the city this is a great way to get to know it.

She took us to many places we could never have found on our own. She is nice, helpful, and informative. We loved the restaurant she took us to.
