5.00This tour was wonderful. Elyzabeth was a delightful and informative guide. She shared organized and interesting information about many “forgotten” women in history while showing us their homes. We learned about their unrecognized business contributions. I will recommend this tour to others. Thanks.
Fabulous and fun peek at Amsterdam!

Such a fun thing to do to get a feel for Amsterdam. I went on the first day of my trip and it was a beautiful introduction to the city and the women of history. Very much recommended!

5.00This tour was fantastic! Elyzabeth is very knowledgeable and passionate about women’s history in the Netherlands. I really appreciated her attention to detail and her ability to tailor my tour as the day progressed. This is a delightful way to get a different perspective on Amsterdam and the Dutch culture.

5.00This tour was fantastic and so is Elyzabeth (the researcher & guide). Elyzabeth is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about history, and it shows. It was truly an inspirational 2 hours and allowed us to see a different side of Amsterdam that we hadn't seen during the 3 days we'd already spent there. Those 3 days included various galleries / museums / attractions and there wasn't much crossover at all. We learned about multiple strong women who fought adversity and improved the lives of so many. Two hours may seem long to some people but as information was delivered in such an engaging way it felt like we were going on a walk with a friend. If we'd have been able to do the tour earlier in our stay we'd have booked on another there and then but will do so when we return to the city, hopefully in the near future.
