The tour was great- Anna was very warm and welcoming. She is very knowledgeable and quite the history buff when to comes to Amsterdam. This was only 90min- I chose this tour to kill some time before meeting my daughter for the evening and it was perfect. Now, I’ll return to the things that really interest me the rest of the week.

This tour was VERY informative and worth taking to get acquainted with the surrounding area. You will walk through all the important tourist areas you have probably read about prior to arriving. We met our tour guide in front of Central Station which made it really convenient. The 1.5 hour tour was just long enough to touch on all the highlights. Then, you can go back and visit and stay longer at the places that you really found of interest. Make sure you wear some good walking shoes!

Very relaxed and informal introduction of Amsterdam with Karina, who was well-informed and kept us engaged and showed us some places that we would never have found easily on our own. An ideal way to kick-start your Amsterdam holiday.
