We had a great time with our guide Martin. He had great stories and a good sense of humour and made us enjoy the tour even though it was raining intensely. Not your usual tour but it was way better in my opinion.
Fun walk with exciting stories

Nice spontaneous girl as a guide in addition to her full-time job she still does this as a hobby she knows a lot and tells everything very nicely with the occasional joke after a nice drink
Disappointing

The guide did not show up for the English tour. If we had not asked the lady of the Spanish tour where the guide was, we would never have found out that the tour had been cancelled. Very disappointing since you adjust your half day to this and also don't get a message that it's not happening.
Just do it!

Super nice tour, highly recommended. It was a tour of almost 2 hours where you sit so much more of the city than you would otherwise.
Recommended!

Maarten was a good and friendly guide. Knew a lot to tell besides the agreed information because of his interest in the city occasionally with a joke in between.
