Had a seven hour layover in Amsterdam. My guide Anna was amazing. She showcased the history of the city; important landmarks, various districts, food, and culture. Felt completely safe. She was sensitive to time constraints while still proving the best of Amsterdam experience.

I am glad Anna took the time to get to know me and what it was that I wanted to do. Based on that she made a nice relaxing trip that ticked all the boxes! It was nice to get tidbits of history and knowledge as we walked around the streets of Amsterdam

Anna was amazing, showed us so much of Amsterdam whilst we were on our layover ahead of Bali. She took us to everywhere we wanted to see including the Ann Frank museum and the bicycles with flowers. She also took us to a lovely little spot for lunch that was quiet and the food was delicious ! Honestly highly recommend using Anna for these tours as she was so friendly, professional and delivered exactly what we hoped for.

Alan was absolutely perfect. We got to see a little bit of everything during my 13 hour layover and he made sure I got back to the airport on time. I learned some fun facts and had quite the adventure. I was paired perfectly and so glad I chose this tour. Thank you Alan!!!!
