Fantastic tour experience! - Alan was the best guide we have ever had on our travels. We was funny, informative and very knowledgeable as we walked around the city. He took us to all the major attractions we wanted to see and made several recommendations on foods to eat and where to find them. He also took us several places off the beaten track to some other places. A phenomenal experience! Thank you Alan for treating us like family and showing us wonderful Amsterdam!

Amazing start to our trip! - Amazing three hour walking tour with Gerg! He shared knowledge on all parts of the city and its history and knew answers to every question! He kept it fun and light hearted and the time flew by. We had just arrived from the US earlier that day and it was the perfect start to get acquainted to the city. 10/10 would recommend!!

Not worth it - Honestly, it was ok. I’ve done so many tours and I usually enjoy them because of the information they give. This guy was like a robot with an old software and needs a massive upgrade. Very basic information. I didn’t enjoy the walk or anything about it. He seems he just wanted to finish and move on with his day.

Amsterdam - Greetings! First and foremost I would like to say thank you for creating a space where we can easily access tour guides while on vacations. While on a day trip, I decided to take some time to explore Amsterdam. I was thankful that my guide (Anna) was flexible with time as my train was delayed. Upon arrival I was greeted with a pleasant smile! After a discussion of what my interest were (architecture and history), she tried to map out the best places to take me to. I will say, the tour overall was poor, and the guide (Anna) was a little spacey, and was definitely not worth the price. I know and understand she meant well, but overall I could have explored on my own, and kept my money. I was under the impression that having a local show me around would benefit me, but in turn it felt like a waste of time and again money. I still plan to utilize this platform, but I would not recommend this guide for future tours.
