5.00I absolutely loved this walking tour in Amsterdam! Our guide, Chantel, was incredible, friendly, knowledgeable, and full of fascinating stories that brought the city to life. She had such an engaging way of explaining Amsterdam’s history, culture, and hidden gems, and her passion for the city was truly infectious. The route was well-paced and thoughtfully planned, giving us a perfect mix of iconic sights and local secrets you’d never find on your own. Chantel made everyone feel welcome and answered all our questions with patience and enthusiasm. I walked away not only learning so much about Amsterdam but also feeling like I’d experienced its true heart. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the city, and if you’re lucky enough to get Chantel as your guide, you’re in for a real treat!
