I highly recommend a tour with Jan. My wife and I have just returned from a 2 hour cruise on the back of Jan's tricycle-jitney. Not only was it great to cruise the winding streets and canals, but Jan's commentary and depth of knowledge of Amsterdam made this an experience we won't soon forget.

My walking tour with Jan Slingerland was definitely 5 star. He planned our route so that I could see as much as possible, tailored the sights to my interests and showed me things I would have walked by and missed on my own. He was very knowledgeable about the history and architecture of Amsterdam, good company and fun to talk with. I had never taken a private tour before but had a very short time in Amsterdam and wanted to see and learn as much as possible so I took a chance and booked the tour. I couldn't have been more pleased with the result.

El paseo por el canal muy bien y completo, el barco en muy buen estado y la guía explicaba muy bien todo. El punto de salida muy lejos del centro pero nada grave.

Nach einem kurzen Telefonat war der Treffpunkt und die Uhrzeit geklärt und wurde eingehalten. Der Führung wurde auf die individuellen Bedürfnisse angepasst und hat dennoch alle wichtigen Sehenswürdigkeiten umfasst. Alles in allem eine gute Möglichkeit, auf "eigene" (geführte) Faust Amsterdam zu erkunden.
