5.00Redouan was a great host and guide. He picked us up from the airport and hefted all our luggage into his van. Then took us on a sightseeing tour through Amsterdam for 3 hours, stopping once in a while to let us take pictures. He was knowledgeable about his hometown’s history and culture and it was evident he loves Amsterdam and the Netherlands! He safely navigated traffic and got us back in plenty of time for us to go through security again and make our flight. I would highly recommend his tour to anyone with a long Amsterdam layover!!
Excellent Tour Guide

5.00it was definitely an amazing experience! i was nervous as i was solo, young adult traveler. but my tour guide (Ben!) was very friendly, super accommodating, and had all the knowledge of Amsterdam! he was very patient with me as i wanted to stop in the middle of the road and take pictures (hahaha thanks, Ben!) & he also offered to take pictures of me which came out great! i personally think the 3 hour tour wasn’t long enough! but of course the price difference is a huge factor for most, including myself. would highly recommend this company. also didn’t know this so please note: i flew in on a Sunday at 7am, got picked up at 8am. coffee shops, gift shops, museums, etc. don’t open until 9/10am so there wasn’t much to do besides site seeing the city. but the plus of that is it was very calm, roads weren’t busy at all, & very easy transportation to and from airport. all in all, it is not a disappointment. you will not regret it! & thank you to the company for being super easy to book through. i was in contact with Eliza through the booking process so if you have any questions, she has the answers!!
