Matt was a great tour guide! He was informative and able to accommodate all ages. We had our 9 and 10 year olds with us and they were kept w entertained.
Very good food tour through the city of Amsterdam. We tried a little bit of everything, from mini pancakes and waffles, to raw fish (don't be afraid, it's very delicious!), their famous croquettes, and a variety of liquors. We walked and ate a lot. Our guide Inge shared many great stories with good information and a variety of jokes that kept us entertained the whole time. I highly recommend this tour for the excellent service and the price-quality ratio that is worth every penny. Thank you for the warm experience!
Dear July, Thank you for such a fantastic review! We're delighted you enjoyed sampling so many Dutch favorites, from mini pancakes and waffles to herring, croquettes, and local spirits. It's wonderful to hear Inge kept you entertained with her stories and humor while exploring Amsterdam on foot. We truly appreciate your enthusiastic recommendation! Warm regards, Stevie Flagship Bike Tours
The WALKING tour was cancelled less than 24 hours before because "some of the restaurants would not be open". ( Isn't that something they should have investigated before creating the tour?) I was added to the afternoon BIKING food tour involuntary but I thought I'd be a good sport and try it, even though it had been 25+ years since I was last on a bike (and I told them this at the time.) Turns out some things don't qualify for the "just like riding a bike* cliche. I crashed twice within the first five minutes so no bikes for me. The guide had taken off with the other members of the tour and come back after 5-10 minutes to find out what happened to me. I was told they would call me the next day to rebook the walking tour but it's been five days and I still haven't heard anything them. They gave a free boat tour that afternoon to make it up on me (?) but that was NOT presented to me as a replacement for the walking tour, only as a bonus. I also had to cancel my unrelated tour the next day because I hurt my knee in the second crash and lost that money. The low rating is because they lied to the about the Walking tour.
Our tour guide Bas was excellent - very knowledgeable, attentive, patient and understanding. Great variety of food stops.

Our guide Inga was wonderful. She explained everything along the way. She also interacted with us all individually.
Dear Julia, Thank you for your lovely feedback! We're delighted to hear Inge made the tour feel both informative and personal. Taking the time to connect with each guest is so important, and we're happy you appreciated her thoughtful approach. We'll be sure to share your kind words with Inge!
