We had a wonderful time... - We had a wonderful time with Maria touring the city! Despite having trouble finding the right spot (head to Naked Espresso and you’ll see the entrance - it’s NOT the gate Google takes you too) - the city was beautiful at night and the stories were an awesome reflection on the darker history of Amsterdam.

Great tour - Maria del Pilar was an excellent guide, learned a lot and she was attentive to any questions. Early tour allows you into the museum since they close at 6pm

Interesting. - Maria Pilar was amazing. She pointed out a lot of points of interest and had a lot of facts and made it very interesting. Because we went on a Sunday a few of the places were closed but she recommended we go back and visit the sites. We did and it was well worth it.

Ghosts and Ghouls - Great experience. Our guide Maria was excellent with loads of interesting stories. Kept me and my grandaughter enthralled with all the ghostly info. Shame it rained on the night but Maria wasnt deterred she was still enthusiastic with her tales. Thank you Maria you were great.

The guide, Maria, was... - The guide, Maria, was knowledgeable on the history and stories. Dam Square was designated a safety risk from 3pm until midnight on the day of our tour. Our meeting location was Dam Square. During the tour we entered a different location where the protest was in full force with at least 30 police vehicles and dozens of officers present. The protestors were loud and we felt unsafe. We verbalized our concern to Maria and she said it wasn't a problem and began her next story. We were not comfortable being there and we left the tour. We feel that with the safely risk designation these two squares should have been avoided.
