Traveler reviews
Great walking tour!
Very interesting, not rushed through the tour, a lot of good information about the history of Amsterdam.
Really enjoyed this...
Really enjoyed this combined trip. The canal boat was a lot of fun…much better than expected. The walk wasn’t quite as expected:- more a walk and chat. It was fine don’t get me wrong but wasn’t as informative as hoped. Still I’d recommend.
Good Tour But Shopping District Was Not Necessary
In general, the tour and guide were both very good. The only part of the tour that we thought was not necessary was the long walk through the shopping district of Amsterdam. None of us on the tour were interested in shopping nor was there time to shop. Perhaps this was the only way back to the main canal to get on the canal tour cruise; however, it was the least interesting part of the walking tour.
Sights of the city walking tour
Lots to see and hear concerning the history of Amsterdam. Fantastic information ranging from current events as well as past events on history that helped form the city as we see it today.
Great walking tour....
Great walking tour. Claire was charming. The boat cruise was fun but a little haphazard with the cheese tasting. Some tables were served way too many with lots of cheese leftover and we were forgotten and had to ask for the service.
