Family trip to Amsterdam with Elvina

5.00My family and I had a nice tour with the guide. We learned a lot about the history, city and Dutch life. Tried some local snacks like apple pie with whipped cream. Within 3 hours we’ve seen both the city’s highlights and local neighborhoods. We would definitely refer our friends to Elvina’s tours

5.00We had a great day exploring with Elvina. We were lucky to have great weather and explored all sorts of interesting places like Rembrandtplein and De Wallen while getting to hear interesting facts. At the end of the tour she pointed out some good restaurants for us to try during our stay. Overall, a very good tour and guide.
Fun layover in Amsterdam

5.00I’ve visited Amsterdam as a layover and had only half of a day. I wanted to use my time in Amsterdam wisely and see as much ad possible. Luckily, Elvina was available at last moment. She showed me the main sights of the city and shared interesting facts and great stories about Dutch history and culture. At the end of the tour the guide gave me some useful tips for my next visit to Netherlands. So grateful, thank you!
