Reviews of Our Amsterdam Experiences

Our guide Jan, was very friendly and informative. Related well to everyone on our tour. Great day discovering places we would never have found on our own. We really enjoyed our walking tour in Amsterdam.

Craig was fun to be with; great sense of humor and deep and extensive knowledge of Amsterdam-its history, environment, and culture. He came to our hotel and was early. We were a little late but we still received a full two hour tour. He took our age under consideration and gave us plenty of time to rest and set a pace we could easily keep up with. The weather was great and the time passed quickly. I would ask for Craig again if given the opportunity.

Our three-hour walking tour with Craig was the perfect way to kick off our stay in Amsterdam. Craig was super friendly, entertaining, and a wealth of information. He gave us great insight into the history and culture of the City, as well as the layout. We now feel very well-equipped to continue exploring Amsterdam on our own. If you're visiting Amsterdam for the first time, we highly recommend this tour - and make sure you ask for Craig!
