Michael was an awesome guide and made the whole experience fun. He definitely made the trip customized to fit our needs. It’s more than just beer. He was pleasant and great conversationalist. The bars were very unique and not something you would find on your own. A whole new way to experience the city
Had a morning tour of Amsterdam that was okay but this was the Best tour!! Enjoyed Micheal’s suggestions and conversations. Ould recommend to friends.
Amsterdam is an amazing city. It's fascinating and important place in European history, evidenced with the Rijksmuseum, the Van Gogh Museum, Anne Frank Haus, canal rides etc, make Amsterdam equal to, or better, than Paris, Rome, and London. In our five glorious days we thought we had done it all, so on our last day in Amsterdam and our trip, my wife booked the perfect ending with the Craft Beer Tour 🍺. First and foremost, our guide Michael, was far and above the best guide we had not just in Amsterdam, but our entire 18 day European trip. Not only was he the most, friendly and interesting, but his vast and expansive knowledge in not just the Amsterdam craft beer scene but in Dutch art, architecture, cultural history knew no bounds. Add to that, the best beers my wife and I have ever enjoyed, made this one of the highlights of our vacation. This established, we enthusiastically give our highest recommendation to Michael and we personally thank him for concluding our trip with an unexpected highlight of our amazing journey.
Michael is a great tour host. He introduced us to fine local beer places and has a wonderful personality and solid knowledge of Amsterdam. Thank you Michael!
Great! From start to finish was great! The guide Kees was knowledgeable and felt like you were out with his friend-group. Highly recommend!
Excellent knowledge and guide. We felt like we got to see more than we ever would have self guided.
Michael brought us to 3 lovely beer stops. We enjoyed everything we sampled. 10/10 would recommend.
Excellent tour! Tried lots of different beers and Kees was fantastic. He had amazing knowledge of Amsterdam and all things beer!!
Michael was fabulous. He gave us a true historical tour with the real Amsterdam instead of the touristy things. I would highly recommend this tour.
Wonderful afternoon with Christian. Learned a lot about Amsterdam's brewing history along with expanding my beer palate.
