Great tour with our host Sergio. - A informative tour well executed with a bit of humour and seriousness when needed. Sergio’s passion for its history was there to see and good to learn the history of Amsterdam. This is not a sight seeing tour as such. More of the history of Amsterdam and that in my opinion was better.

Interesting and Engaging - the perfect introduction to Amsterdam. - Tour guide Daan was the perfect tour guide, very friendly, light hearted and informative. He had a natural talent of keeping his audience interested and engaged. I would recommend the tour to anyone who would like to find their feet in the city, learn some key points to help make their stay better and learn about the city's interesting history. You will also receive recommendations at the end of the tour which can be applied on to google maps, we found these very useful, i.e. places to eat, cafe's etc... You can choose what amount to pay and can pay via card, phone or cash.
