Enno was great...super personable and nice! He was super knowledgeable about the city, as he has lived there his whole life and studied history, so he truly knew the history. His English was perfect, and he took us to non-touristy places (like an amazing bakery) in addition to the places everyone has to go to when in Amsterdam. We also loved that he had arranged a boat tour for us...we hopped right on and had an hour-long guided tour of the city. He was also very easy to communicate with; he sent us lots of messages to WhatsApp letting us know where to meet him (and even what he looked like!). He even sent us pictures after the tour of things we had asked him about (ex. the private gardens behind the magnificent brownstone homes of Amsterdam). We highly recommend him. If we could give him more stars, we would!
