Great Amsterdam Overview!
We had the best morning with Robin. He gave us an amazing overview of Amsterdam. He is super knowledgeable and shared great information and tips! We loved it! It was the perfect way to spend our 1st full day—the tour ended with the best apple pie in Amsterdam!

Awesome
James was great, super friendly, very knowledgeable, we had a blast and learned a ton. Great walk of the Dam history, Red Light District, Jordan, churches and the four major canals. We loved learning the history of the stock market, the two major trading companies that ran Amsterdam for centuries and the New York relationship. An excellent tour guide who could answer all of your questions. We just scratched the surface of his knowledge.

All around tour of Amsterdam
We had this tour after taking a couple of other tours. Some of the information was the same but the tour guide was wonderful and made it interesting. He changed some of the tour since we had already seen some of the sites. I would recommend this tour first.

The only way to see and learn about Amsterdam
We had a great time with Aarre. He was super knowledgeable and made learning about Amsterdam fun! He inquired at the beginning of the tour if there were any interest we wanted to see and worked with our requests. He made us feel like we were part of his family, provided his contact information if we had any questions during our extended time in Amsterdam, to simply contact him and he would and has responded.
A definite must do even if you have been here before.

The guide was nice but...
The guide was nice but not knowledgeable at all. It was a private tour so we asked for him to meet us at our hotel which as nicely accommodated.

We had an amazing tour with Andrea! She was extremely knowledgeable and shared so much interesting information. We learned and saw so much during the time we were with her. I can't recommend this tour enough, especially if it's your first time in Amsterdam.

A nice overview of the city.
Aron entertainingly demonstrated his masters degree in history and had a delightful manner as he walked us around the city. The most memorable part was at the end as we toured the Holocaust memorial. A very moving moment. The tour direction was at our discretion and we saw all the things we wanted to in the time we had.
