Alan was a great guide and made the day so much fun! We gave some ideas of what we'd like to see and we walked all over the city. Next time I would ask more history questions so we learned a little bit more, but Amsterdam is an amazing city to wander and appreciate the details.

The tour of tulip fields and windmills couldn’t have been better, the guide knew her business and it would have taken days to cover the same ground on our own; well worth having a private guide.

A walking tour which was approximately nine miles; 21,000 steps and worth every one. We asked for lunch or tea at a certain cafe and he hit it perfectly.
