Aaron was a wonderful guide. Very knowledgeable. Appreciated the conversational nature of the tour. I had a little bit of difficulty following his presentation due to rapid sometimes too soft speech, Irish brogue and my modest hearing loss. But an excellent introduction to Amsterdam. A great way to start your time in the city.

Pedro was FANTASTIC! My partner and I had an amazing time on our tour with Pedro. He was knowledgeable, friendly, answered all questions with respect and passion. We had a tour January 1st, so it meant a lot that he was able to meet with us during a busy holiday season time. My partner and I loved this tour and would not hesitate to book another with this company. Although it was a lot of information, it didn’t feel like too much. We’re so happy we were able to do this. Thanks Pedro!!! :)
