“Nice and Informative”
Reviewed by Naresh Kumar from Bangalore, India on May 10th, 2013 The amsterdam walking tour we experienced with Mr. Gerk has been good. Our guide took us through the important places of Amsterdam (Dam square and surroundings) and provided sufficient information for us to understand the importance of each place. He was very nice in his communication and has been vvery cordial. I would recommend Mr. Gerk for everyone visiting Amsterdam.

“Holland Personal Guide”
Reviewed by Gail from Eagan, United States on November 17th, 2012 Gerk was great. He met us, on time, and walked us through Amsterdam, while telling us so much about the history of the city and pointing out the architectural details and interesting facts, you would never get in a traditional tour.

“My Amsterdam private walking tour was the best tour ever!”
Reviewed by Zabrina from Marietta, United States on October 28th, 2012 My Amsterdam private walking tour by Holland Personal Tour Guide with Mr. Kazemier was the best tour I have had in a very long time. I toured the city of Amsterdam while learning interesting and little known historical facts that you just do not get while touring on your own or with large groups. Mr. Kazemier was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and a joy to listen to while touring. I will definitely be using Holland Personal Tour Guide again.

“Informative, very friendly and engaging”
Reviewed by Marion from Limeshain, Germany on September 3rd, 2012 During our tour, which lasted over 3 hours, Mr. Gerk Kazemier taught us a lot about Amsterdam's and Holland's history as we viewed buildings and other kinds of sights, using stories to embellish the descriptions. It was so intense that we really got a great 'feel' for the city. Thanks very much, again!

“a nice tour of a cool city”
Reviewed by Franziska from Demen, Germany on July 30th, 2012 Our tour guide, a nice older man, led us through the historical old city in a wonderful way. A few more jokes would have made the whole thing a bit livelier. However I found the tour to be very easy to understand and successful.

“Highly informative tour of the Old City with no stress; recommend it!”
Reviewed by Stefan from München, Germany on July 11th, 2012 This tour is worth every penny. Our Amsterdam guide Gerk, a onetime teacher, who worked in the north of Holland, moved to Amsterdam and chose to become a trainee at a small hotel (to break into the tourism industry) and now leads individual tours, paid attention to every guest, offers to take breaks throughout and doesn't closely monitor the precise length of the tour. On the first day he brought us a lot closer to this unbelievably interesting city and laid the foundations for our sympathy for it. You can always discuss current events and the way things are viewed in Holland (for example the Euro or soccer ;) ) with him. You just shouldn't be a Rotterdam fan- despite his advanced age he never was one and never will be. You notice his die-hard love of Amsterdam, which he does a good job spreading: he lives the motto I AMSTERDAM!

“Highly recommend!!”
Reviewed by Sarah from Birmingham, United States on June 17th, 2012 I highly recommend Gerk's tour of Amsterdam. We did the 3 hour walking tour and it was fantastic. Email communication with Gerk prior to tour was very prompt. He has a great knowledge of the city and its history. Would love to do one of his day tours next time we're in Amsterdam!
