We really enjoyed spending time with Wendy. Wendy is very knowledgeable about the Amsterdam history and pointed out many historical places and events. The beer, of course was delicious! She went out of her way to make our beer tour the best! Thank you Wendy...

Amazing personalized food tour we have ever experienced ! Alan was beyond helpful and knowledgeable, accommodating each of our requests and likes. Alan was energetic and engaging the entire tour by asking thoughtful and sincere questions of each of my family members. Not only did Alan go out of his way to give us the best experience, he made sure to give suggestions for the rest of visit in Amsterdam. We were touring with our adult college kids. Alan made sure to share fun ideas, shopping, and food to entertain their interest also. Alan was extremely flexible and immediately adjusted to our likes and dislikes, even introducing my daughter to the best vintage clothing store she ever shopped in. Alan went above and beyond by gifting my son an Amsterdam T-shirt also. Alan was courteous in contacting me the day before in preparing and confirming our meeting point. Alan is a true professional and top notch tour guide!

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.
