Latest reviews from our guests

    This was a four hour tour. We had a great experience with our tour guide Alan. His great personality, sense of humor and knowledge of the city made for a very enjoyable day. Would highly recommend Alan and this tour. We got to see so much of the city.

    Alan was so personable, relatable, friendly, funny and super knowledgeable about the city. We had such a great day exploring and taking in the markets and local eats!

    Alan was a terrific Tour Guide! He took us to Markets, historical sites off the beaten path and away from the crowds. We went by Anne Frank house, Rembrandt house, red light district and walked around the canals, bought Dansk souveniers and found local art in the Market. Saw beautiful flowers and plantings along the canals. We stopped for coffee but still managed to see many of our requested interest points. We would definitely request Alan to guide us should we ever be fortunate to spend more time in Amsterdam Netherlands!
