Zen Amsterdam Tour : Alternative Geschichte und High Experiences

Truly unique experience that may have changed my thoughts on Amsterdam (for the better). Erik, our tour guide, may be the most interesting man in Amsterdam. As we toured the coffee house culture we played games (some better than others), learned about Amsterdam’s history and culture but the real learning came from watching our guide interact flawlessly with other residents, underscoring the relaxed, open and good natured culture the city is famous for. Being on this tour was like hanging with your cool cousin. Scoring great deals at the coffee houses was an added bonus!

What an amazing afternoon, Erik was fabulous, making sure everyone was included, introduction to fellow tour buddies before setting off from Dam Square we were shown parts of the city I'd never think of, his knowledge of the area and history was top class. Several coffee shops visited, a run down on what does what, Eriks energy is awesome and contagious. As a solo flyer I often find tours can be a bit "meh" but within minutes we were like old friends, after the tour hanging with a couple of them. Great chat, great knowledge, Salvadori (apologies for spelling) a guide in training was delightful, had the best time.

If u go to Amsterdam this is a must do, amazing unique tour with a great history and information. Erik its the man who is gonna make everything worth it, the knowledge of the history around the weed is something to share and enjoy. Is the guy who have the time to teach and open mind to discuss and understand the why behind a lot of Dutch culture. Im sure he is the famous weed tour guy

Had the best experience with Eric on the tour. He is a walking book of knowledge of history. The information that he shared was so enlightening and Im so grateful that he shares this with many people. Not only did he share knowledge of history but has great experience with choosing the best strains of "flower". I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants a mind opening and chill experience.

Erik was great! Had such a chill time. Got a free joint and got to learn some really cool things about Amsterdam! Highly recommend if you are looking for a chill walking and smoke tour

Unfortunately missed... because my taxi got stuck in traffic I was 8 minutes late at the meeting point. No phone number, no one who contacted me and far and wide no indication of an Umbrella tour... It's a shame!

Do you speak weed? The tour and especially the guide more than exceeded our expectations. Clear recommendation for anyone who wants to see a lot in the neighborhood and learn about the history. Not only about grass, but also the social aspects to it and outside. We had a lot of fun, ran a lot, learned a lot about squatters, nuns and supposed outsiders and were able to see behind the scenes at the end. Erik: Thank you for the great evening, for the professional tour and special thanks for the trip afterwards into your world:)❣️

Not one more tour with Viator or Orangeumbrella. We hire the extended 3-hour tour (additional visits and tasting included), with Guide in Spanish. The tour started late because the Guide could NOT speak Spanish, and after much discussion a partner came as a translator, which made the tour very uncomfortable as the Guide talked a lot and in the end the partner only translated half of what the Guide said. In addition, the tour we were given was the 2 hour tour (when the contracted one was the 3 hour tour), with reduced visits since in addition to starting late, the Guide left before the hour to attend to another tour. Still we were almost relieved that we didn’t have to endure that nightmare of touring anymore, despite having paid a bonus. They take advantage of the fact that you pay in advance to give you minimal and poor quality services. I can NOT recommend this tour to anyone, there are many more companies that offer tours in Amsterdam and sure with better services, my advice is to look in another company if you want to enjoy Amsterdam and not have a hard time.

The guide was very helpful in accompanying me on this experience, the conversation and sharing of this peculiar aspect of Amsterdam culture was very pleasant. The only flaw was that the meeting point was not specified correctly via email, I was elsewhere, and I delayed the appointment a bit, via WhatsApp I asked where the guide I was waiting for was and I was given a different address where he was.

Our guide was great; very eloquent and funny. The tour was very well planned and entertaining and despite multiple visits to Amsterdam, we were able to discover a lot of new things
