It was a very laid back stroll through some of Amsterdam’s highlights. Sean was personable and knowledgeable. We wish he had taken us several more places and provided additional history.

Experience with WOW Tours
I had an incredible time on the Amsterdam Highlights Walking Tour: Small Group Experience with WOW Tours. Our guide, Sean, was beyond knowledgeable and brought the city’s rich history, culture, and architecture to life. Exploring iconic spots like Dam Square, the Royal Palace, and the Red Light District with someone who could provide such deep insight and context made all the difference. The small group size of three made it feel personal and engaging. I recommend this tour to anyone visiting Amsterdam.

The tour guide didn’t show us much in Amsterdam. Quality was lacking. This was our first day in Amsterdam, and I was so disappointed in his performance. We are booked with other tours using Viator. I really hope they will be better than today. 😡
