5.00We had a great tour. Sofia was kind and helpful. We enjoyed the true or false game. We actually took this tour on the last day of our trip and still learned new information. All in all an excellent walk.
Nice Guide, Not Enough Information

3.00Our tour guide, Silver, was a very engaging young man with a knack for storytelling. Unfortunately, his entertaining stories had very little actual information. We would walk for blocks with not a word about what we were seeing around us, then stop and listen to a story, and repeat, multiple times.
Great tour

5.00Very good 👍. Interesting and fun as playing homes with Elon musk. It might seem long but it's a great source if you want to learn about Amsterdam! There was 7-9 people so it might be crowded for shy people. If you are on a budget then don't Ty because it's around 80$. The guide was pretty good and told us the answer to a lot of questions, it's good if you're curious and is the best if you want a fun little tour around the city and it teaches a lot about duch history.
