Amazing guide Younes Was the best local guide.
We booked a small party tour for 2 pm. But the company contacted us that day and asked if we can do the 3 pm instead because of a conflict. We ended up getting upgraded to a private car/private tour guide and pick up from our hotel directly. Way better than what we originally booked. Thanks for upgrading us instead of canceling our booking. We all had an amazing time with our tour guide Eunice. Who was very friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend.
Fantastic tour to experience true Amsterdam culture! Elias was our tour guide and was incredibly in and kind. Visiting historic windmills, the fishing village of Volendam, and seeing cloggs made were all we expected and more!
