We did the 2 hour tour with Jan who was amazing. Great start to our trip and saw lots of interesting things we would have missed seeing on our own. Very knowledgeable. Thank you Jan.
Jan was very knowledgeable and it was a great way for us to spend our first morning in Amsterdam. He was keen to know our interests so that he could tailor the 90 minute tour to suit us, and it gave us an insight into the different areas of the city. Highly recommended.
Our ship was late so our time was reduced. He worked hard, and pedaled fast to give us the essence of the city in only one hour. He knew his city and had great pride in the contribution of Amsterdam to World War II. Great tour.
Great information from our guide and many highlights of Amsterdam. He introduced us to some areas that we might have overlooked without his guidance.
Driver was so knowledgeable. Very friendly and gave us such great insight to the city. I highly recommend this tour of the city.
