Amsterdam Must-Sees: From Icons to Hidden Corners

**Maria made our Amsterdam trip.** We booked the Jordaan walking tour through City Unscripted and honestly weren't sure what to expect — but Maria exceeded everything. She clearly loves Amsterdam and it shows. She didn't just walk us past landmarks and recite facts; she brought the city to life with stories, local insight, and genuine warmth that made it feel like we were exploring with a friend, not following a tour guide. Traveling with family, she had a great sense of pace and kept everyone engaged the whole time. By the end we felt like we actually *understood* the city — not just that we'd seen it. If you're visiting Amsterdam, book Maria. Don't overthink it.

Craig arrived on time, actually a little early. He was friendly and personable. He had a wealth of knowledge about Amsterdam and the Netherlands. He definitely customized our tour to meet our needs. We very much enjoyed our time with Craig and would highly recommend him to others.

Alan Lazer was a great guide! We had walked around Amsterdam the day before, not really knowing where we were going. Alan took us to the non-tourist parts of town. And we loved the 4 markets he took us to! He was very personable, and very knowledgeable. He took into consideration that my husband couldn’t walk fast and had to rest every once in a while! All in all, it was very enjoyable. I think the price was way too high, but that is no fault of Alan’s.

We took this tour immediately upon our arrival from the US, in part to keep ourselves awake and fight jet lag. We had filled out a questionnaire about our interests and Anna meet us at our hotel to embark on our tour. Anna was very knowledgeable and took care to try to show us both the key sights and also the areas we were most interested in (we love going off the beaten path and seeing how the locals live). We even visited a local grocery store. Even with a 6 hour tour, Anna made it fun and interesting, including for our 15 and 17 year olds. Highly recommend!

This tour was lovely and catered to my likes/dislikes with more added to it. I did schedule a 6 hour tour and I think it could have been done in 4 hours. I will say, it was nice to see a few extra things and go at a slow pace. My guide, Wendy was very pleasant and knowledgeable. If you have doubts, please do not and book the tour!
