Great and knowledgeable guide who shared history and fun facts about places we saw. Great way to get introduced to Amsterdam and some of the neighborhoods here. I highly recommend Gianni my guide.

David was an excellent tour guide. He was extremely knowledgeable about Amsterdam and it's history. He was also very pleasant and entertaining which made the tour extra fun. The complimentary stroopwaffle was icing on the cake. I would highly recommend this tour.

Ramses was very informative and helpful.
I recommend this tour.
This is all what I want to say.
Remark: To force people to write more on review to be able to submit isn't right.

Excellent overview of the city & its history, with funny insights into the various city regions and their culture. Guide Gianni was thorough, funny & helpful. Good introduction to the city, especially as we had just arrived after a long journey.

A good tour, Nick was knowledgable and gave us all a stroopwaffle and a postcard which was a lovely touch. However didn’t feel like we saw many of the main sights and didn’t get much opportunity to stop for pictures or to sit down

We had Sergio who was superb! Kept our group totally engaged & sense of humour was excellent. It was a 3 hour tour with various stops & really good knowledge & information. We liked the idea of giving a tip based on your experience-I’d like to think Sergio did well as he deserved too!

David is that man!! He was very knowledgeable, and you can tell how much he loves Amsterdam. We went on a canal cruise later that day, and our captain was impressed with how many facts we knew (because of David). David was also very sweet and gave us a snack and a postcard to remember our time in the city.
