5.00Alexandra was an excellent guide! She brought Amsterdam to life with fascinating stories, historical context, and a genuine enthusiasm for the city. The small group format made the tour feel personal and relaxed, and she was great at answering questions and pointing out details we never would have noticed on our own. Her knowledge of the architecture, canals, and history of Amsterdam made the walk incredibly engaging. If you want a thoughtful introduction to the city with a guide who clearly loves what she does, I highly recommend this tour with Alexandra.
