"We had the pleasure of taking a biking tour with Sebastian on our first day in Amsterdam, and it was hands-down one of the best decisions we made. Sebastian was incredibly knowledgeable—not just about the city’s rich history, but also its culture, community, and politics. He gave us a fascinating, well-rounded perspective that went far beyond the typical tourist narrative.
Navigating Amsterdam’s bustling bike lanes can be intimidating, but Sebastian made us feel completely safe and confident. His guidance was clear and patient, and his passion for the city really shone through. We were able to cover far more ground than we ever could have on foot, and it gave us a perfect introduction to the city’s layout and neighborhoods.
What we appreciated most was how the tour helped us get our bearings right away. After the tour, we found ourselves revisiting many of the spots Sebastian introduced us to—this time with a better understanding of their significance.
If you're visiting Amsterdam, don’t miss a chance to tour the city with Sebastian. It was a highlight of our trip!"

Highly recommend!
"Arun gave us a wonderful walking tour of Amsterdam. We scheduled it for our first day in the city- to get acclimated and to keep mov on g before the jet lag took us down! It was just the right length and Arun was extremely knowledgeable about the city and its history. "
"Our family had a great time with Rolf at the Rijksmuseum. He tailored the tour to our interests. We were there Easter Week, so it was very crowded, but he helpfully steered us to the important works and was generous with his time and knowledge. Highly recommend."
"We had a fantastic food tour in Amsterdam with Elise! She was incredibly responsive and flexible, especially as we had a few last-minute flight changes. Elise’s knowledge of the neighborhood was impressive, and she introduced us to some amazing local cuisine while giving us a great insight into Dutch culture. Everything felt authentic and thoughtfully curated. I’d absolutely recommend this tour to anyone looking for a delicious and engaging way to experience the city!"
"We had a wonderful morning with Sebastian. We saw so many different sites and it was perfectly geared toward my teenage children. Highly recommend. "

Christa was wonderful
"My mom and I had a fun experience with Christa and we were so grateful she was willing to do an unconventional tour in the evening. She’s full of knowledge about history of the city and things to see/do. It was great to do this tour the first night we got in so we could add to our itinerary. Highly recommend. "

Deep appreciation Total Enjoyment
"Totally worth every penny. To go on a tour with Anna’s experience, intimate knowledge of the pieces we went over was priceless! She gently guided our group of ten along the busy pieces, shared great information and in depth background of the pieces and the life of the artists and ways to appreciate the art work for someone that has no art background. Total joy and highly recommended."
"We thoroughly enjoyed our walking tour of Amsterdam with Annet. She took us to some more out-of-the-way places, as we requested. She is very knowledgeable about the city and it's history. Being a professional photographer, she pointed out unique photo ops along the way
She is very friendly and easy to converse with.
Highly recommend!"
