Nice tour of Amsterdam

4.00We had a wonderful tour guide, and he was very informative with a lot of interesting information. However, I would have wanted to get more history of the city and the country, rather than details that we’re unnecessary, such as How Much Sex Workers, charge or pay for rent.
Perfect guide!

5.00Essential visit , alive and bored about the history of Amsterdam which was "a momentous moment of the world ". We learn a lot in 2 hours with a beautiful iconography and anecdotes. An exciting human, commercial and architectural story told on site by a friendly and passionate guide , the present is not forgotten because the story continues ... My two teenage girls (who were never bored) and I had a very rewarding time. I recommend Christian who, moreover, is not miserly of his time. Thanks again to him.
Great Tour Guide in a great city

5.00Christian is a great guide. He introduced us to the city in an inspiring, non-school way. Accessible to children. The walk is not too long and can be done with children from 6/7 years old. He made us discover Amsterdam and its history as if he were telling us a story. It was great
