Latest reviews from our guests

This tour was lovely and catered to my likes/dislikes with more added to it. I did schedule a 6 hour tour and I think it could have been done in 4 hours. I will say, it was nice to see a few extra things and go at a slow pace. My guide, Wendy was very pleasant and knowledgeable. If you have doubts, please do not and book the tour!

Duane took the time to source a great gluten free cafe to suit our dietary needs, Croque Madame, which had great sandwiches and cakes. Duane also has an extensive knowledge of Amsterdam which made the tour extremely interesting as well as indicating nice restaurants for future meals.

Walking around with Alan was just like walking around with a friend. We loved exploring with a local, who took us to so many great stops we wouldn’t have gone to otherwise.

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
