Great tour when visiting Amsterdam for the first time - It was our first time in Amsterdam, and this tour was the perfect introduction to the city. Having someone guide us through the highlights and help us navigate made everything so easy and enjoyable. Craig was absolutely amazing. His knowledge of the city’s architecture is impressive, and the fascinating anecdotes he shared truly brought Amsterdam to life. His passion for the city is contagious! I can’t recommend this tour highly enough and would encourage anyone visiting Amsterdam to book it.

Such a great tour with our guide, Craig! - We had such a great day in Amsterdam on our walking tour with Craig. He was very knowledgeable and personable and helped us familiarize ourselves with the area. Travelling with our two teen boys, he kept the day interesting and fun for all of us. He was great with communicating before to find out our likes/dislikes and was flexible with our meeting and drop-off locations to help maximize our time together. Highly recommend!

A Must-Do Tour! - This is the ultimate way to view Amsterdam - with a local! Alan was very knowledgeable and tailored the tour to our tastes. We were taken to lots of hidden gems that you won’t find on your own and given numerous insights along the way. The walking pace was very manageable also. Our time in Amsterdam was limited and Alan created an awesome experience for us! I loved all of it!

Great tour for a short period of time! - 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!

A absolute must for you bucket list.. you are in good hands.. highly recommend. - Wendy was nothing short but fantastic ... She first asked what we would like to see and our interests. Then on that advice she gave us a tour (she was very switched on with history of the town) absolute pleasure to talk too. Being in Amsterdam she is always weary of the cyclists and made sure that we weren't accidently run over , always thinking of our safety. Made us very comfortable walking around the town .. Well done Wendy , Peter and Karen down under Australia.
