About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Katu7770 contributionsA must do tour of Amsterdam’s RijksmuseumWe had an excellent tour of the Rijksmuseum with Marten that exceeded our expectations. It’s a must do tour if you want to see the highlights of Rijksmuseum’s vast and important collection, while also gaining the essential understanding of the Dutch history and culture, which did not only enrich our museum experience, but our entire visit to the Netherlands. Marten is very knowledgeable, flexible and is able to engage adults and children alike with his lively stories and relevant comparisons with modern times. Without this focused tour and Marten’s guidance we wouldn’t be able to explore a quarter of what we were able to see and to learn, it’s well worth the money, highly recommend!Written 14 March 2024
- Laurenbp10 contributionsCarolina was excellent on the Jewish Quarter TourCarolina had a lot of knowledge about the city and it's history. She was early for the tour and provided great historical and cultural context.Written 7 March 2024
- V7912ZLpaulk0 contributionsWhy do it ?I was expecting more than walking through a open market Obviously food purveyors can be located close to each other but directly across meant why should one take a guided tourWritten 3 March 2024
- Sagecal0 contributionsA Memorable Visit to Van Gogh MuseumAnna was a terrific guide. The information and stories that she presented were very good and helped for us to understand more about the life and work of Van Gogh. The insights that she imparted made this a very memorable visit. I would definitely recommend Anna. You will not be disappointed.Written 27 February 2024
- 937priyam0 contributionsFantastic Amsterdam DiscoveryOlga was ahead of time for our tour. She communicated the location information and was specific. The tour started off really well and she provided a lot of information. It was a cold and rainy morning in Amsterdam and we stopped for some coffee and then the ice broke We found this amazing ,funny and passionate lady who made us fall in love with her city all over again She had a ton of information and I learnt a lot about her city after being here many times previously.. she is funny, informative and very knowledgeable Can’t wait to come back to Amsterdam and have her show her city to us again Thanks OlgaWritten 24 February 2024
- Vacation282619829830 contributionsIncredible Van Gogh museum visitVisiting the Van Gogh museum was amazing. Seeing the works of art “in person” was incredible. But, even more wonderful was our awesome tour guide. Ewald was knowledgeable and very professional. He asked questions about what we “saw” and was very engaging. The time just flew by! His tour was fabulous! We highly recommend taking a tour of the Van Gogh museum with him!Written 23 February 2024
- jennlmazz0 contributionsTour with a friend!We booked a 3 hour tour with Estella around Amsterdam. She was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. At the end of the tour, we requested to see one more site and she was more than happy to go over the time. She bought us stroopwaffle when we passed a store that she said had phenomenal baked goods and it did not disappoint! We walked around all of the great spots of Amsterdam but she also showed us some of her favorite hidden gems. She tailored the tour to us based off of what our interests were and what we wanted to see. By the end of the tour she felt like a true friend. We highly recommend this tour with Estella! 10/10Written 9 February 2024

- IvetteD3820 contributionsPerfect Introduction to AmsterdamThis was the perfect first experience to introduce us to Amsterdam. Marten was knowledgeable and sweet.

- Hillery2010 contributionsGreat Experience!This was a great experience! Our guide, Sebastian, was personable, informative and very knowledgeable. We got to see different areas of the city, and learned a lot about the history of the city and about current happenings. We were pleasantly surprised to learn more about the biking culture of the city and to see the underground parking garage for bikes. We highly recommend this tour and our guide!Written 18 December 2023

- fgmoria0 contributionsAmazing Amsterdam Tour With SebastianThis review is long delayed. I realized I failed to write the review right after my tour with Sebastian. He was an amazing, kind and professional guide. He showed the must-see places in Amsterdam and some of the hidden but scenic spots. He was very fluent in English and his knowledge of history was impeccable. I learned a lot more about the city and the Dutch people in just a few hours. He did not mind going beyond the allotted time. The coffee break in one of the city's historic cafes was a commendable part of the tour. More importantly, he was a very good photographer. I highly recommend him especially to first-time visitors in this beautiful city.Written 11 December 2023
- Passenger214745704170 contributionsAmsterdam walking tourWe had a wonderful three hour evening tour with Anna who was super friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the City. Anna provided plenty of interesting historical content. I'd thoroughly recommend Anna to anyone visiting Amsterdam on a short break.Written 16 November 2023
- EllenHolmes670 contributionsANNA, THE BEST TOUR GUIDE IN AMSTERDAMAnna was thoroughly amazing. She agreed to meet us early and even went above and beyond and took us all the way through the train station to the ferry so we wouldn't miss our river Cruise. Without her we would have. Her knowledge of Amsterdam, the history of Amsterdam and all the special hidden and unbidden places was remarkable. We were amazed by the beauty and practicality of the Dutch. If you are visiting Amsterdam Anna is worth every penny!!! She even recommended the best Indonesian Restaurant and sent a walking Google link after the tour finished so we could get there easily from our hotel. A+++ for Anna!!!Written 15 November 2023

Silvino's time with us made our day in Amsterdam special. Although I
had been round the city before, he managed to give us an insight on
places and the Dutch that I had no knowledge of. It was great to walk
through the streets and feel like a local. His warm but professional
approach made us feel really welcome and enthusiastic about his city.
Definately worth it!

Our tourguide Anna was so knowledgeable and shared so much interesting information while also taking us to some places off the beaten path, giving us the opportunity to see things we otherwise would never have run across. She also gave us some great recommendations of other activities and places we could visit.
This is my second time booking a tour through this company and both times have been education and unique. A private tour like this is a great way to get your own custom introduction to the city and to find a wide range of places you might want to return to during your visit.

Arun was a wonderful guide to my party of six. He was very patient
with us and showed us areas of town we may not have seen otherwise. He
knew lots of facts about the culture and the city and can easily
answer all your questions!

The tour guide, Marten, was excepcional. He told us the information from the Dutch perspective (which is what we were curious about), answered all our - sometimes ridiculous - questions with the utmost patience and he gave us advice for tge rest of our stay.
Really, 10 out of 10, highly recommend :)

This was a great way to get an introduction to the city. Sebastian was a great tour guide. His knowledge and willingness to answer questions was terrific. We did it as a two person private tour and thoroughly enjoyed it. He was very knowledgeable and gave us a great introduction to the city. He pointed us to a local lunch and guided us to our next tour which was after his. An altogether enjoyable experience and highly recommended

Marten was a fantastic guide. He was able to answer all my questions
and adapt on-the-fly to enlighten me on specific areas I was
interested in, including historic and modern Dutch economics,
educational systems, healthcare systems, and immigration. Marten has a
vast amount of experience to draw on from his three bachelors degrees,
masters degree, and work experience. This was the first tour I have
been on where my guide was a true subject matter expert. It also
doesn't hurt that one of Marten's degrees is in History. Kind,
thoughtful, and insightful, Marten was able to give me information
which improved my entire vacation. I took this tour on the first day
of my vacation in Amsterdam, and I felt like I was able to draw on
this experience for the remainder of my time. I would highly recommend
trying to schedule a tour with Marten towards the beginning of a
vacation to improve your entire stay in Amsterdam.

Hi, we would like to join the tor on Monday, 30th August, 10.30 am (4 people). Is it possible to get a German speaking guide? Can we bring our dog with us? Thanks for your reply!

We are staying near the Dam Square. Where does this tour start and end? Could it be customized to end near the Anne Frank House?

Our tour guide was VERY accommodating with where we started and ended our tour. Might depend on the guide, but I would think if you told them at the beginning where you want to end up it shouldn't be a problem.
