Visit with Christian: history , architecture , anecdotes , answers to our questions .He is passionate and exciting. - Essential visit , alive and bored about the history of Amsterdam which was "a momentous moment of the world ". We learn a lot in 2 hours with a beautiful iconography and anecdotes. An exciting human, commercial and architectural story told on site by a friendly and passionate guide , the present is not forgotten because the story continues ... My two teenage girls (who were never bored) and I had a very rewarding time. I recommend Christian who, moreover, is not miserly of his time. Thanks again to him.

Great experience, also for children! - Christian is a great guide. He introduced us to the city in an inspiring, non-school way. Accessible to children. The walk is not too long and can be done with children from 6/7 years old. He made us discover Amsterdam and its history as if he were telling us a story. It was great

Nice tour of Amsterdam - We had a wonderful tour guide, and he was very informative with a lot of interesting information. However, I would have wanted to get more history of the city and the country, rather than details that we’re unnecessary, such as How Much Sex Workers, charge or pay for rent.
