    Personalized and totally-worth-it tour!

    "I am so glad we booked an Amsterdam tour with Tommi!! My ten year old son & I spent a couple nights and one full day in Amsterdam before travelling to other parts of the Netherlands, and as opposed to trying to coordinate numerous site attractions on my own, I chose a personal walking tour with a friendly and expert guide, Tommi. I realize now this was the perfect choice! Immediately after booking, Tommi and I communicated about what I *thought* we might like to do, but I requested his help in planning the tour based on his own favorite and unique places in this beautiful & historic city. He did not disappoint! Tommi was so attentive to our requests, his communication was prompt and clear, and he even booked a visit to the replica VOC trading ship for us, which is great for kids and parents alike. The tour took to us to Centraal Station, on the metro and bus (which my son really enjoyed), the Dutch East India Trading company, some of the oldest streets & buildings in Amsterdam, Nieuwemarkt, the holocaust memorial - we stopped at times for authentic Dutch treats and Tommi seamlessly wove in the historical facts and details I was hoping for throughout our travels. This is just a smattering of what we saw; there were other hidden and and lesser-known places he showed us...far too much to list here. I need to emphasize how friendly and helpful Tommi was, before, during, and after our tour. He gave me pointers for the airport before we arrived, I had other questions related to getting around the city which he gladly answered, and he checked in with us after we left Amsterdam to make sure all was well. Tommi has become a true friend and he is a wonderful representative for Amsterdam! I highly recommend him if you want a special and informative Amsterdam experience in one day."

    Great afternoon with Marten!

    "We took a 4 hour tour. The first half was a walk around Amsterdam while Marten shared his vast knowledge of the history of the city and other interesting facts. Then he took us through the Van Gogh Museum. Marten had so many wonderful stories and facts about Van Gogh. He provided us with a great afternoon and we would highly recommend touring with this charming, well informed man! "

    The G5 girls from Canada. Judy

    "I was absolutely thrilled with Tommi’s tour. He was knowledgeable, on time, thoughtful, funny and super informative. He reached out to me before we arrived for our tour, and sent super helpful information about the weather, the Amsterdam Airport, tips to get through Schiphol and how to find the way to our hostel. He checked in the day before the tour to verify that we were on schedule. Thank you so much for a wonderful tour Tommi, we really appreciated the tour, your expertise and time. It was a pleasure meeting you. "

    Annet was SUPERB! Reserve her now!

    "Annet was immediately friendly and easily engaged our group with great storytelling and sharing details about this incredible city. We especially loved asking her questions and learning about life in the Netherlands. Annet provided our first experience of our week together, and her foundation set the stage for our week. Throughout the rest of the week, my guests kept referring back to, "remember, Annet told us that...", which showed just how engaged they were. An initial orientation after long travel can be hit-and-miss, but Annet was the real deal. She captivated everyone with her stories and details. She made the "real Amsterdam" approachable and accessible for us, and we will always treasure the time we spent with her. Don't hesitate, book her now! "
