Informative tour - great for getting to know the city! - Great informative tour. Thing the length of the tour (2 hours) was perfect, although I definitely could've went longer as it was so interesting. Got a lot of good information on the cities history and how it turned into what it is today, with royal, religious and political history as well. Good size of group as well. Our tour guide Luuk was amazing and very funny, and made a great effort to speak to guests in the group throughout and get to know them and make sure they were enjoying the tour/ getting what they wanted out of it.

Good tour just be prepared to tip what they ask for - Good tour. Tour guide very good and knowledgeable. Saw lot of the city. My only issue was while it says it is a tip based tour the guide is very clear at the end as to what he expects. We were lucky to have 20 euros. I would prefer they just charge me up front and eliminate the awkwardness
