We had a wonderful time and our tour guide planned the day exactly as we asked. It is the way to see Amsterdam.
Our host was charming and attentive. The pace of the tour was just right and we got to see places we would not have found on our own. Well worth the experience!
This is a must-do tour in Amsterdam! Anna is very friendly and shows great care to the needs in our group. We were able to visit all the sites we wished plus a few other hidden gems. The bakery Anna took us to is one of the best we've had. We would definitely go on a tour with Anna again. Thank you! 10/10

Olga was one of the best tour guides I have ever had! She is extremely knowledgable about all things Amsterdam and passionate about her city. She prepared a wonderful personalized tour for us that was absolutely incredible! We highly recommend her for her Amsterdam Tour!
My wife and I weren't sure what to expect visiting Amsterdam. Our guide Anna made sure we fell in lo e with the city. She took us to a range of historic sites, pleasant places to visit and where locals often go. She had a deep knowledge and passion for the city which was infectious. She made our trip!
<p>Olga was amazing! We had such a great time on this tour, but I think it really speaks to our awesome guide okay, fine, the charming city can get some credit, too. Olga was friendly, prepared, and thoughtful with her struture of the day taking into consideration places and things we would want to and should see on our first trip to Amsterdam, but also mixed in hidden gems, known to and appreciated by locals. She was knowledgeable and personable, and so incredibly generous with her time. We frequently referred to her recommendations for the rest of our stay in Amsterdam. It was so great to experiene the city through her eyes.</p>
We had a great day with Riccardo Olivo in Amsterdam. He was young, energetic and very knowledgeable. We appreciated the fact that he was educated and well travelled so that we had a lot in common. He knew the city backwards and forwards. We did a lot of walking but that is really the only way to see Amsterdam. We saw more than would have been possible if we had been on a group tour. Riccardo sent us an introductory email and framed the tour to match what we wanted to see. He was just so pleasant and interesting and it was a pleasure spending the day with him.
