See Amsterdam with Dani, you’ll be happy you did - Our guide, Dani, was amazing. He was knowledgeable, entertaining, and so friendly, he made us feel like we had known him for years. His tour was one of the best I’ve ever been on(and I have had experiences with at least 5 other tours)

It just seemed like a super entertaining tour! I feel like we definitely lucked out with this experience and will cherish the memories.

Karel is an excellent tour guide. - Karel led us through Amsterdam and really gave us a great overview of the historical drivers that make Amsterdam what it is today. I learned so much during this 2 1/2 hour tour that will take some time to process all of it. Karel is a superb tour guide who cares that his group has a great time. His English is very clear. I loved the personal anecdotes he brought into the discussions. Highly recommend this tour and Karel.

Great Tour! - Gianni gave a fantastic walking tour - it was insightful and provided a great "lay of the land", from which we were better able to plan our own exploration. I'm glad we did the tour on the first morning upon our arrival!
