Our guide, Terry, provided a wealth of knowledge about the city. We meandered through the streets with interesting anecdotes supplied. We also had a welcome refreshment break partway through the walk (at our expense). Highly recommended.

Awesome tour! It turned into a private tour since my wife and I were the only booking. Our guide, Bas, was very knowledgeable about the city, but also very personable and funny. It was a great way to spend the afternoon wandering the city with a cool local.

We would highly recommend this trip. Terry our guide was very knowledgeable and kept us entertained throughout, including our 9 year old son, not an easy task! He took us to places we would have been unlikely to find on our own, and gave us lots of facts and interesting tales about them. A great way to start a visit to Amsterdam!

Our guide was awesome! He tailored the walk to what we wanted. We had a small group of 3 of us so we could ask all the questions we wanted and he even stopped for amsterdam beers and snacks because we were parched. Our tour ended up being 4 hours- it was awesome! I highly recommend doing this tour!!!

Review by: Paul M	May 2011
We had a great guide, an Irish guy but I cant remember his name. The walk was at a good pace and was full of interesting insights and places I would not have seen otherwise. I think all of Amsterdam's top sights were covered by this tour and would highly recommend it. We actually ended up running 30mins over and I didn't notice as the tour was so engaging.

Review by: Tracy W, Netherlands	July 2010
We had a wonderful walking tour of Amsterdam. Our guide with his charming Irish accent and vast knowledge of the city kept us entertained throughout the afternoon. I would truly reccomend this tour to anyone who has not been to this vibrant and historic city. I still share some of the facts learned with others. A splendid day. Many thanks and best wishes in your future endeavours.

Even though there were only two of us the tour went ahead. Our guide was very knowledgeable about Amsterdam. As well as the main places of interest. He showed us places that there was no way we would have found, including the East India Company and this marvelous eating place. This was a really good way to see Amsterdam!
