5.00Our guide on this 2 hour walking tour of Amsterdam was Robbie and he was wonderful. Very knowledgeable, interesting facts and stories, some fun games/quizzes to give us bits of information and very friendly and helpful. We were late arriving (our fault, we got a little lost getting to meeting point) but his colleague was at the end of the phone line and between all his help and Robbie himself phoning me we joined just at stop 3. So overall we have an excellent impression of Hello Amsterdam, their service and this walking tour. Thank you!
Very walkable city tour
