Babylon Tours is the only way to see Amsterdam - We were in Paris in September was discovered Babylon tours there and the tours were fantastic. So when we elected to visit Amsterdam a year later, Babylon was the first place we turned and, once again, we were not disappointed despite our high expectations. Our guide was friendly, knowledgable, helpful and professional. She not only clearly knows Amsterdam and art, but also knows what people enjoy viewing, how to present the works in a way that interesting and how to tell a story that ties the entire tour together. Clearly Babylon knows how to find, train, and keep terrific guides, no matter the city. Definitely would recommend this tour and Babylon in general...regardless of what city you're visiting!!

Fantastic Rijksmuseum Fantastic Victoria - Our tour was wonderful and our guide was fantastic. Victoria braved the inclement weather and a bicycle chain malfunction to provide a professional tour of the Rijksmuseum that was beyond expectations.

Great focused tour - Giuseppina was fun and offered a lot of insights, focusing on the master pieces in the museum and telling us many details and background stories we would have missed out on otherwise. Enjoyed our day with her very much!

No when you're wrong... and correct the situation! - My son and I had booked a Skip-the-Line: Private Rijksmuseum and Amsterdam Walking Tour. The Tour was suddenly interrupted after fifteen minutes because of a general power outage. Frustration got the better of me and I rated the experience as “poor”. Very unfair for our Tour guide according to my son… and he is right! The power failure had nothing to do with the quality of service, I recognize. Our guide, Victoria, was a true professional with an absolute mastering of her subject. The person in charge, Dario, went out of his way to correct the situation and make sure we would appreciate all that was in his power to make our experience better. Here’s an organization that cares! I highly recommend this Service Provider.
