Get to know the charming city and atmosphere of Amsterdam. - Rob was an amazing guide with his depth of knowledge and his cadence integrating all of the information into a wonderful experience. It was a true introduction to Amsterdam and its history. I had been to Amsterdam before, but now I feel I have a better understanding of it as well as the Dutch people. We also had the pancake lunch. The food was excellent and the service outstanding. I had the best tomato soup I had ever tasted served with pesto. I highly recommend this tour.

I’ve been on a lot of... - I’ve been on a lot of walking tours in many cities around the globe. Most include a lot of history and details on what we’re seeing. We walked by a lot of things without explanation. This tour could have been so much better if the guide had done that vs talking about the cost of rent, his house buying experience, etc. I like to learn a lot on tours like this and I think a self guided tour I download would have been better.

Interesting tour. - The guide, Anthony, was great and gave us many interesting facts and showed us several interesting places. Dutch Pancake Masters was excellent. My only negative comment is that we were there on a very crowded Saturday (the day before Easter Sunday), and it was challenging to keep up with Anthony because of the crowds (and I’m a good walker). He did not check to make sure everyone was keeping up.

Unsatisfactory - Did not receive items as promised on ticket. Waiter was less than friendly when I presented my ticket. He made uncomfortable. Would not go back to that establishment
