"My family of two adults and three teenagers took a walking tour of Amsterdam with Sebastian in February 2025. Before the tour, Sebastian was very easy to communicate with and flexible with the arrangements. From the start of the tour Sebastian made an effort to understand what we were interested in and what type of tour we would like. He gave us a good mix of local knowledge, history, culture and interesting facts. The tour covered a lot of ground but moved at a comfortable pace. Our kids needed a food break before the planned stop and Sebastian had no problem changing things around to keep everyone fueled up. I would highly recommend Sebastian as a tour guide."

Best tour of Amsterdam!
"We had an absolutely fantastic walking tour of Amsterdam with Olga! From start to finish, her knowledge, warmth, and passion for the city made this a truly memorable experience. Over the 3 hours, Olga brought Amsterdam’s history and culture to life, sharing fascinating stories and insights that we never would have discovered on our own.
The best part was how personalized the experience felt. Olga took the time to understand our interests and tailored her recommendations to suit us perfectly. The next day, we went back to many of the wonderful places she pointed out (the cookies, the waffles, the restaurants!) and it made our time in Amsterdam so much richer and more enjoyable.
Olga’s enthusiasm and expertise are unmatched, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. If you’re looking for a tour that’s engaging, informative, and full of hidden gems, Olga is the one to book with. Best guided tour we’ve had!"
"Sebastian was a wonderful guide. He followed our lead showing us parts of the city that we wanted to see and understand. He was engaging and very kind. His knowledge of the history was incredible. He has a great passion for his country!"

Great experience
"We had 8 in our party that fit perfectly in Carl’s beautiful boat. He arranged lunch and picked it up hot and fresh on our cruise going through the canals. Loved it and would do it again:)"
"Such an interesting side of Amsterdam to learn about. Arun was very professional and handled the topics of red light District and ”coffeeshops” with grace and practicality. We would probably not have gone through this area on our own but truly appreciated the opportunity to hear about the history and see how things are operating today. Well done Arun! "

Brilliant storyteller!
"Our morning with Anna at the Van Gough museum, surpassed all of our expectations. We came away with a strong understanding of the man and his art. She really brought him to life for us. She had great antidotes to share and was extremely knowledgeable about both the history and the art. "

Amsterdam after Christmas
"Such a good tour with Arunabha. He was so knowledgeable and really made connections with our kids and family by telling us how Amsterdam was linked to our home town of New York. We learned so much about the history of the city - Arunabha answered all our many questions with depth and real world examples- such a great tour. Highly recommend and thank you!!"
