What people are saying about Amsterdam

Ester was a really good guide, lots of knowledge for the tour (also added her personal touch to the tour from facts of her own life as she was raised in a windmill herself which was really interesting) and she made the whole experience the highlight of our visit to Amsterdam. Highly recommended tour and Ester as a guide.

We enjoyed the views of the canal houses and had a good tasting of wine and proper Gouda cheese (information on whether this was included in the price or not, could be more clear). Timing could not have been better (had the 6pm tour) for the mix of daylight and nighttime experience. Tourguides did a good job as well.

Really well done museum. Staff was very knowledgeable and kept all the information interesting while you could walk through at your own pace. They also had a lot of interactive things that made the experience super fun and the samples were great!

Great experience. Very chilled. The weather was amazing. Everyone chilling with their drinks and smoke. Do take your own.

Great experience! Very cold. Staff definitely made the experience
