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.

I just wanted to express my gratitude for the absolute pleasure from the tour myself and my dad had with Alex. He honestly could not have been any better and we had an amazing experience, hence why I wanted to write this email. I would honestly recommend Alex to absolute anyone no matter the age or background, he was an absolute pleasure. Thank you, Farrel

I had an amazing time with Sofia! Since I already hit some of the prime sites, we took a drive around to see different islands and things off the beaten path. We then walked around her neighborhood, chatting and sharing stories. What a wonderful way to connect with another person and culture. She gave me recommendations for some extra gifts, took me to her favorite coffee shop, and even met her sweet dog! Very happy with my experience today.
