Review of Amsterdam’s small-group walking tour, with historic sights, lively guides, an optional canal cruise, price, route, and practical tips.

“Overall experience was poor. Was messaged a few days prior to the tour to be notified of a time change even though the tour had been booked for weeks. I agreed to the new time but noted I had a ticket for Anne Frank at 1400 and would need to ensure the tour started on time. The tour did not start on time as a large family arrived right at the start time and had to use bathrooms etc. They had two small kids and half of the tour guides attention was directed to the kids the entire tour… it was very distracting. The guide also got stopped by local…”

Explore Amsterdam with a private local guide by bike or on foot, combining royal sights, Jewish history, snacks, and lesser-known corners.

“The guide was very soft spoken which made him difficult to understand in the noisier locations on the tour. He knew the city and its history but was seemingly obsessed with telling us about the prostitution trade. We achieved a full understanding of the subject after the second explanation. The subsequent ten became a bit tedious. To the positive, he provided a great orientation for our later exploration of the city.”
