Lacking Substance
Our tour lacked direction from our guide. He didn’t have any agenda for us. The tour did not include any real history, interesting stories of Amsterdam culture, or specific sites of interest/importance. My partner and I felt like we would have enjoyed exploring on our own.

Hi Patrick,
Sad to see you would leave a bad review after doing my best to give you a nice tour of the best coffeeshops in Amsterdam. When I asked you what you would like to know about the coffeeshop you seemed not interrested, and when we got to the red light district you told me to leave you guys alone there. Most tour guides would not enter the red light district with you so its not nice at all seeing a 1 star review. Best to read what you are booking next time instead of putting shade on people who try to give you a nice experience.
