"Vita proved that there is always much to learn from a knowledgeable guide and that there are amazing “gems” hidden in plain sight. Even though I have been to Amsterdam several times before, I saw many new things and got new perspectives on several familiar places. The highlight of the tour was the Royal Theatre Tuschinski—a real gem of the Art Deco period. Brava!"
"Our group had a wonderful experience with Frederick on our canal tour. The historic boat was comfortable and we loved the views of the city. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommended! "
"I did the cycling tour with my 18 year old son. David gave a lot of background information, we did see parts of the city we did not know and my son discovered the vintage football t shirt shop ;-)
Easy to manage bikes
Great tour."

Fantastic tour of city and hidden jewels.
"Annet gave my wife and me a fantastic tour of parts of Amsterdam that we never would have discovered on our own and provided a lot of historical and local context of the sights and locations we visited on our 3 hour walking tour. She was very pleasant and communicated well with us. She tailored the tour to interests that we identified prior to the tour and took some wonderful pictures of us and gave us photo hints. By the end of the tour we felt like we were friends. I would highly recommend this tour and Annet as your guide. "

"This was our first time in Amsterdam and we wanted to see more than just the regular sites Elvina understood what we wanted so she took us to some interesting places with some fun facts some local food and then on a little tram ride to a local area where we could see how the locals live and then to our surprise we finished in a beautiful local brewery with a windmill by the water was an amazing day very easy-going. I would highly recommend her as a tour guide."
