We did the 2 hour tour with Jan who was amazing. Great start to our trip and saw lots of interesting things we would have missed seeing on our own. Very knowledgeable. Thank you Jan.

Jan was very knowledgeable and it was a great way for us to spend our first morning in Amsterdam. He was keen to know our interests so that he could tailor the 90 minute tour to suit us, and it gave us an insight into the different areas of the city. Highly recommended.

Our ship was late so our time was reduced. He worked hard, and pedaled fast to give us the essence of the city in only one hour. He knew his city and had great pride in the contribution of Amsterdam to World War II. Great tour.

We took a 1.5 hour rickshaw tour with Jan. He picked us up at our hotel and took us on an wonderful informative tour of Amsterdam city! From Museum square to an old windmill, Jan showed us so many interesting things and provided the history of the buildings and locations in detail! In addition to a personable and friendly guide, Jan is a world traveler and extremely knowledgeable on many topics, so he kept us entertained all along while enjoying the city sights
