Matt was amazing, were nice guide full of stories
Matt was really knowledgefull
Julia our guide was funny and engaging Great stops for food Easy walk. Amazing satay as well as delicious herring (in season)
This was a highlight-of-trip tour—thank you Matt! The food was all very tasty (even the scary herring was actually pretty good!), the trip a great mix of sweets and savouries with three Amsterdam-special drinks too. There was plenty of good food, well explained, and the walk kept it from feeling overwhelming. The mix of history and local life in the tour was both illuminating and personal (hi to your girlfriend—we feel like we know her—and the several locals we met and chatted with like friends—hi to the bike man!), led by a guide who really knows the history, but also clearly loves life in Amsterdam. A really great tour
