Reviews of Our Amsterdam Experiences

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!

Craig provided an amazing tour of the city and its history! He has a real wealth of information and tailored our 3-hour tour based on our specific interests. He also shared what life is like for the city's residents, pointing out local restaurants and other hotspots along the way. Highly recommend if you want an authentic, insider's perspective on the city!

Annett was amazing! My daughter and I could not have asked for a better day together. Annett, listened to our interests, seemed to know we were a bit tired and tailored our day just right.
