This was an excellent tour of Amsterdam. Anna was fantastic. She gave us a lot of great information about the history and culture of the city. She has a lot of great hidden gems. Anna also provided great information on restaurants and sites to explore during our visit. I would recommend taking this tour early on during your stay so you can use these recommendations. We took the three hour tour and I feel it was a nice length of time to explore.
Anna was fabulous & catered our walk to the things we like. Seeing the city through the eyes of a local, walking the not so populated streets, seeing the amazing architecture, fantastic restaurants & cafes to visit and the beautiful Vondel park. It was an extremely pleasant 3 hour walk around Amsterdam & we would highly recommend Anna.
Nikki, thank you so much for your kind words. I’m really glad you enjoyed the walk and that we could focus on the parts of Amsterdam that matched your interests.
Anna is a fantastic guide! She is extremely knowledgeable and did a great job of tailoring the tour to our circumstances and adjusting on the fly as she learned more about our interests. This was a great way to get introduced to Amsterdam!
Thanks so much for the kind words, Kate! I’m really happy you enjoyed the tour and that I could tailor it to your interests on the go. It was a pleasure showing you around Amsterdam and helping you get a great introduction to the city.
Anna helped us navigate around Amsterdam and avoid the red district and sketchy zones. Provided history and insights into everyday life and recommendations appropriate for teens. Along with helping us pick tulips and cheese as souvenirs.
Thanks so much, Sarah! I’m really glad the walk felt helpful for your family. It was a pleasure showing you a different side of Amsterdam, sharing some everyday local insights, and making sure the route and recommendations worked well for the teens too. Happy you enjoyed the tulips and cheese stops as well!
Anna was our guide. She communicated with us prior to the tour to get our preferences. We learned the history of the city and got to see some amazing things we would not have seen on our own, as well as getting a feel for the city while walking through it.

Anna was FANTASTIC! We did not know what we should be looking for in what was a new city for us, so she showed us the top spots and some hidden gems that we would never have thought to find. She asked many questions for feedback on pace and what we wanted to do. I would highly recommend her!
