We had an amazing experience with Alex during our introduction to Amsterdam tour. Perfect start to our time in the city. Alex was informative, kind, and funny. She shared a variety of information including history and culture. The size of our group was perfect as well! It was a bit smaller and intimate which allowed us to ask questions and connect with our guide. I would highly recommend this tour company!
