Hey, I'm Alan, and I've been living in this beautiful city for over 27 years, and I'm proud to call it my home. Over the years, I've seen Amsterdam change and grow, but its unique charm and character have always remained. As a seasoned local, I've discovered plenty of fascinating places that you won't find in any guidebook. From hidden gems in off-the-beaten-track areas to the city's top spots for local cuisine, I've got the inside scoop on all the best places to visit. One of my favorite things about Amsterdam is its parks and scenic routes. The city has some incredible green spaces that are perfect for exploring, whether you're looking for a quiet stroll or an invigorating bike ride. I'm an expert in all things local cuisine. Amsterdam has an amazing food scene, and there are so many delicious dishes to try, from traditional Dutch favorites to international specialties. Whether you're interested in shopping, cityscape photography, or just exploring Amsterdam's unique culture and history, I'm here to help!

Yes, we have already completed the tour with Alan. It was a great walk around the neighborhood. Thank you :grin:"

My first trip to Amsterdam was for business and lasted only a few days. For this second trip I wanted to make sure I experienced more of what Amsterdam has to offer. Especially since on this occasion I would be celebrating my birthday. I have used City Unscripted before and chose to use them again because I certainly enjoy the 1:1 nature and personalization they put into their tours. On this instance I chose a Beer Tasting tour and I was matched with Alan for a 3 hour excursion. Given the purpose of my visit it definitely felt it appropriate tailoring my tour around beer but Alan made it far more than that. He truly went above and beyond the description of the tour I purchased. While there was beer along the way as I requested, Alan masterfully crafted in all the historical anecdotes, stories of Amsterdam's past, and more importantly hidden gems a larger group tour could never afford you. Our day together took me to some of Amsterdam's most charming brown pubs and introduced me to the magic that is cheese dipped in mustard. We sipped on some of the finest beer I've tasted together with shots of Geneva. More importantly I experienced life as a native in one of Europe's most vibrant cities. Alan was truly a joy to spend the day with and his guidance is unrivaled. If you are looking for a guide reading notes off of a sheet and speaking to you like a teacher reading from a textbook, don't call Alan. If you are looking to experience Amsterdam with a friend, look no further.

We had a great tour around Amsterdam. Our guide, Alan, was extremely friendly and knowledgeable, and being a private tour we could go at our own pace and didn't have to worry about keeping up with others. Highly recommended.
