Our tour guide Manouk was absolutely fantastic! We are a family of four, my daughter is 22 and my son is 17, and Manouk was able to balance all of our interests to tailor the tour to us and deliver the information in a way that was very enjoyable while also being easily processed in the moment. She also gave excellent recommendations for restaurants and things to do, and overall gave us a new perspective on the city.
Last Friday I did the city tour at Manouk. The walk through the center feels very personal and authentic. Manouk tells the stories very vividly and you learn facts that you hadn't thought of yourself. In addition, the tour is also well organized in terms of time and bores the total. For this I did the Red Light District tour once which was also very popular. Thanks for the excellent afternoon!
Hi Bram, Bedankt voor je mooie review, het was leuk om je terug te zien bij een tweede tour! Hopelijk was dit een goede aanvulling op de Wallen-tour en gaf het je wat extra achtergrond over de geschiedenis van onze mooie stad. Hopelijk tot snel in een derde tour. 😉 Groetjes, Manouk
Last Friday I did the city walking experience and I am positively surprised! Although I already know a thing or two about Amsterdam, I have heard many new and interesting stories. Manouk tells in a fun way, which keeps you captivated. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to learn something new!
Hi Alexandra, Bedankt voor de mooie review! Leuk om te horen dat je nieuwe dingen hebt geleerd onderweg, dat laat je weer anders naar de stad kijken. Gezellig dat jullie mee waren, altijd welkom in een van de andere tours. Groetjes, Manouk
We did this walking tour on the last day that we were in Amsterdam. A lot of the questions that we had about landmarks and areas of the city that we had seen before the tour were answered by our guide, Manouk! She is very knowledgeable and personable. The tour itself was just the right length of time, and the information provided about the sites we covered on the tour gave me great context that I didn’t have before about the city. I recommend this tour with Manouk for first-timers to the city who are curious about what makes it special.
Thank you so much for this lovely review! I'm really happy to hear the tour added some extra context to your time in Amsterdam. :-) It was great spending time with you and hope to see you again. Wishing you all the best on your next adventures! Warm regards, Manouk
We opted for a private tour, Manouk was our wonderful guide. She tailored the tour to fit us. Manouk gave us a fantastic tour of Amsterdam. Very informative, lots of history gave us a good insight on what Amsterdam is like today and there is a thoughtful treat at the end.
Dear Lisa, Thank you so much for this lovely review! It was such a pleasure to guide you and shape the tour just for you. I’m really glad you enjoyed the mix of history, today’s city vibes, and the little treat at the end! Enjoy the rest of your trip and hope to see you again one day! Warm regards, Manouk

Dear Lisa, Thanks so much for your lovely review! It was a real pleasure to explore the city with you. I'm glad you enjoyed the tour, and I hope you took some fun memories (and facts) with you. Always welcome back! Manouk
We had a fantastic Amsterdam city tour today! Manouk was excellent—knowledgeable, engaging, and full of fun insights that brought the city to life. Our family learned a lot and had a fun time. Highly recommend this tour and Manouk!
Dear Paul, Thank you so much for your lovely words! I had such a great time showing you around—what a warm and beautiful family you are. I really enjoyed learning about your interesting heritage. I’m glad you liked the stories and that they helped the city to come to life. Hope the rest of your trip was just as fun and full of discovery! Always welcome back! Manouk
Manouk feels at home in Amsterdam and you will notice this throughout the tour. She explains everything clearly with support of photos. She also knew how to answer all questions along the way. For us it was a successful afternoon. I will definitely plan another tour at Manouk.
Hi Hans, Bedankt voor de leuke review, ik ben blij dat je hebt genoten van de middag uit. Jullie waren een fantastische groep om rond te leiden, heel gezellig! Kan niet wachten tot de volgende tour. :-) Groetjes, Manouk
I took this tour with a close friend and it was just the two of us 🙂! Manouk is an exceptional guide, from start to finish, she was incredibly knowledgeable about the city's history, sharing fascinating stories and insights that truly brought Amsterdam to life. No question was left unanswered – she was patient, friendly, and always eager to help with any curiosity we had. What really stood out was the thoughtful touch of including some local treats, which made the experience even more enjoyable. If you're looking to explore Amsterdam in a fun, informative way, be sure to book a tour with her!
Dear Afia, Thank you so much for this wonderful review! It was such a pleasure showing you two around, I loved learning about your countries and had so much fun. I’m thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the stories and local treats. It’s always great to know that my passion for the city shines through! Thanks again, and I hope to see you again somewhere else in the world! :-) Warm regards, Manouk
Excellent knowledge and many interesting inights about Amsterdam history. A great choice on my first day.
