    Wij hebben een geweldige tour door Amsterdam gehad. De gids wist veel te vertellen over de bezienswaardigheden en kon al onze vragen beantwoorden. We hebben Amsterdam van een hele andere kant gezien. Ik zou deze tour zeker aanraden.

    De gids heeft tijdens de tour veel leuke weetjes verteld over de oude stad Amsterdam. Leuk om nieuwe dingen te ontdekken van de stad. De gids kon heel leuk vertellen. Ze was super enthousiast en zorgde ervoor dat de hele groep aandacht bleef luisteren. De vragen die wij tussendoor stelde kon de gids zeer goed beantwoorden. Ze wist duidelijk waar ze het over had. Zeker een aanrader om deze tour te doen!
