5.00Joe was a wonderful guide. He was quite pleasant and extremely knowledgeable. We love getting private tours of the highlights of each city we visit within the first 24 hours of arriving. It gives us an exceptional overview and allows us to maneuver around the city with ease for the remainder of our visit. And you can go at your own pace!

5.00I have booked the Private Walking Tour of Amsterdam for our colleagues twice already via Viator. They have had a great time. The communication with the guide prior to the tour was excellent: change of date and time was a no brainer. I would recommend this site and Tour to everyone.

5.00We had an amazing experience with our tour guide Julia, taking in some of the best that Amsterdam has to offer (it helped that we had some sun!). For first time visitors, we couldn’t have been happier learning about this wonderful city with Julia. All in all a 5-star experience. Would recommend to anyone visiting!
