Hidden gem - When we arrived we honestly couldn't make heads or tails of the city, so we quickly arrived to the decision to book a tour, and we're glad we did! Me and my wife were the only ones that booked for this moment, so it was like having a private tour for a very fair price. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable and because of the well-paced tour, we quickly got a clear overview of the city and the sights to behold. I would definitely recommend this tour to any Amsterdam fledgling if they want a clearer view of the city, sights, and historical events.

Walking through Amsterdam! - My boyfriend and I had a lovely time on this guided walking tour of Amsterdam with our guide, Norman. The highlight of the tour was exploring the Red Light District, which Norman approached with both sensitivity and insight. He shared fascinating stories about the history and evolution of the district, giving us a deeper understanding of its cultural significance. Despite its lively atmosphere, Norman made sure we felt comfortable and safe as we navigated through the area.

Amsterdam Walking Tour - This walking tour was the best way to get to know Amsterdam! Our guide took us to Dam Square, where we learned about the Royal Palace, then walked through the charming streets of Jordaan, which felt like stepping into a postcard. We also passed by the Anne Frank House and the guide gave a moving account of its history. Strolling along the canals and crossing the picturesque bridges was a highlight, and our guide’s local tips on hidden gems made me feel like I knew the city well by the end of the tour!

Guide change time, then... - Guide change time, then failed to show. Guide didn’t respond to conversation/chat when reported late. Viator attempted to contact and did not respond via phone. Guide had previously asked for phone number to contact and never tried to connect via sms/text or WhatsApp.
