Tour narration kept jumping and repeating information continually regardless of which stop we were at. We abandoned it in the end and just made our own way.
Nice tour but it’s all...

Nice tour but it’s all uphill. I don’t know why they wouldn’t just have you go the other way then it would be downhill….
Happy Easter! Wonderful Tour

We had a wonderful bespoke tour of Amsterdam. Anna was friendly and knowledgeable and included the high points and hidden gems of the city. Most everything was open despite it being Easter Sunday
