Perfect tour - I learned new things even though it was my fourth visit to The Dam and it really combined my love of ghost tours with a comprehensive over view of the city for my son on his first visit. I'm so glad I booked this tour

Fun and knowledge filled - Stefan was An amazing guide. It was our first night in Amsterdam and he had us setup on where to go and see. His tour was fun and entertaining and extremely knowledge filled. My husband and I are kind of quirky and our sense of humor is sometimes out there, Stefan took us in stride and we all had a great time. I would recommend his tour 100%
