5.00We had a great morning walking the city - seeing canals and secret gardens - learning about the city and its charms - our guide was so patient with US being an HOUR late because of traffic and things outside our control - she rolled with it all and we couldn’t be more thankful - highly recommend!

5.00Having a private tour is the best way to get around and see Amsterdam. Our tour guide took us to the places we wanted to see, and moved at our pace since I am a very slow walker.
Amsterdam, we love you!

5.00Our guide was punctual besides the rain. As we were a small group of three, we easily walk through the city. We passed by the old part of the city, around the multiple canals and we took amazing pictures. The tour was private, and we were contacted by email, to find out what were our main focus. Decided that we wanted to explore the city, cafes, but our focus was not the Red Light district visit( although we pass through), or visiting the Anne Frank Museum . We visited the Van Stapale cookie shop, when was heavily raining, and it was an excellent decision from our guide. We didn’t have a lot of time in Amsterdam, but went to the flower market, pass by Our lord in the attic house/museum, visited the train station enormous bikes parking lot. One of the things we appreciated visiting was the Tutchinsky theater a jewel to see in Amsterdam, specially in a rainy day at the end of your walking.
Don’t let the rain stop you!

5.00Rainy cold day in Amsterdam but our tour with Elle was wonderful. Amsterdam when cloudy and rainy is still beautiful and gives the city a different look and vibe. Our tour guide was wonderful and showed us the city from a local perspective which is so wonderful. Not a large group mega tour but a personal experience. Ask for Elle who was the best tour guide!!!!
