5.00Anita was very knowledgeable about Amsterdam. She was a trooper and kept us moving, as we battled the rain and wind during our tour. Despite the wet weather, we enjoyed our time with Anita and recommend this tour if you are interested in learning about Amsterdam.

5.00We did the walking tour right when we got to Amsterdam. It was a great way to get San understanding of the city. Henk, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and focused the tour on our interests. He even sent me some information after our tour that he knew I was interested in. We loved having coffee with him at the end of tour so we could ask questions and guidance for our stay.
A very interesting learning experience
