5.00Private bike tour in the city center with Marina. The tour was great, very informative and varied. Our guide Marina navigated us effortlessly through the city bustle. and addressed all questions and concerns. It was a great morning. Private red-light district tour with Lea. I can only give Lea a perfect score as well. She guided us through the red-light district and provided us with a wealth of information that you probably won't find in travel guides. Great evening tour. I can only highly recommend AMSTERDAMLIEBE!!!!!!
Highly recommended ❤️

5.00Absolutely recommend! We booked several private tours and we had a great time. Both guides were great, it was so much fun and learned a lot about the city, the Red Light District and places we would not have seen otherwise. So make sure to book for your next trip to Amsterdam:-)

5.00Amsterdamliebe, or rather the "Hühner" team behind them, were the only ones of several providers we contacted who responded to our request for three days of guided private tours on selected topics - just as we had imagined them. The fact that we then had Marta as our companion for the three days, who was absolutely convincing because she was well prepared, funny and interested in our needs, made the whole "package" completely unique. The highest rating is not enough for the whole team and we couldn't have had a better guide than Marta - THANK YOU, Marta!!!
Breathtaking
