My reviews

    We loved the personal walking tour with Duane! Informative and fun, we highly recommend it. The architecture and canals are beautiful - enjoyed learning about Amsterdam. Duane also gave us tips on where to eat and what sites to see.

    My husband and I enjoyed our tour in Amsterdam with Duane very much! We had asked for a broad tour of the city as an introduction to get the lay of the land and see what we wanted to go back to later to explore further. Our primary interests were history and architecture. Duane gave us the ideal tour! We covered all of the sections of the old town within walking distance and he gave us some background on all of the major monuments and churches, and also tips for what to go back to and spend more time on. He even gave us great restaurant tips for lunch and dinner! Duane was friendly and personable, checked in frequently to make sure he was covering what we were interested in, and was very knowledgeable about Amsterdam - both historical and today. I think if we'd only had an afternoon to spend, Duane's three hour tour would have been a great way to spend it, but it also provided a perfect overview for further exploration. We highly recommend a tour with Duane!

    This was a good tour. Duane had planned out a trip route for us based on our needs. We walked through business areas, neighborhoods, and scenic parts of the city. Duane gave us the insider, local perspective on many things.
