Very interesting, recommend as an alternative walking tour - I really enjoyed the tour and learned a lot from Alexios! It's definitely more of a dark history tour than a traditional spooky 'ghost' tour. Still, very interesting and we heard different stories than those you hear on a normal daytime walking tour, so really liked that aspect.

Informative and cool -
**⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Five-Star Experience!**
We are from the US and recently did the Haunted History and Ghost Tour of Amsterdam. Stefan, our guide, was incredibly knowledgeable about the history of Amsterdam, and his storytelling was nothing short of amazing! My family had an incredible time and thoroughly enjoyed every moment of the tour. Highly recommend!

Great experience with Stefan!! - Each story was interesting and well-explained with a little humor thrown in. It was also interesting to see how literal Amsterdam is with its naming of things.

Fascinating - Had an excellent tour with Alexios, probably my favourite tour I did so far on this trip. He was a great guide, explained everything in a great way that was easy to understand. I gained fascinating knowledge of the city afterward. I was wondering why this tour did not have many reviews but decided to try it anyway, and I realised at the end it’s because Alexios never asks for anything, whereas every other tour I did ask you to scan a QR code at the end to leave a review. So don’t just assume because it has small amount of reviews compared to others, it means nothing. Amazing and thanks again Alexios, great job.
