The Irish guy was lovely, and so were the rest of the staff. The experience was so much fun, and very immersive, with so many different things to see and engage with. Me and my friends went and had a really great time, I would recommend. Only thing I could complain about is the pictures all the way round, with the QR code, since it's such a big part of the experience you feel so inclined to buy them at the end. But that's common practice in a lot of places so. fun!

Manouk delivered a fantastic tour for us on our first day in Amsterdam. It was filled with interesting facts, engaging conversation and great recommendations. She is a lovely person and excellent guide. We would highly recommend taking a tour with her. We would have also taken the red light district tour with her but we didn't have enough time! Easily five stars!

Really loved this tour. Aaron was our guide for the tour and we found out so much about Amsterdam and some hidden gems you would not see if looking yourself. Aaron was extremely knowledgeable, and very friendly it was almost like being given a tour of the city by a friend. Definitely recommend this tour 2 hours just flew by.

Excellent , I’ve done the London one but this one is great as they act it out. I jumped a few times it was a great laugh. Just don’t be first to scream as you will be the chosen one all the way through lol you all work hard at the acting this is a must do

Catered well to my partners condition (similar to epilepsy). Friendly staff. Very funny
