We had an incredible...

We had an incredible walking tour in Amsterdam with Claire! She was extremely knowledgeable, sharing fascinating stories and insights about the city that brought its history and culture to life. Claire also went above and beyond to make the experience enjoyable for our family—she was so thoughtful and accommodating with our baby, which made the whole tour stress-free and fun. On top of that, her great sense of humor kept us laughing and engaged the entire time. Highly recommend booking a tour with Claire—you’ll leave with wonderful memories and a much deeper appreciation of Amsterdam!

Great day getting to know Amsterdam

Our guide, Rafael, was very knowledgeable and friendly. We learned a lot about the history of Amsterdam. Since our cheese tasting time could not be accommodated we were given the choice of a canal cruise with wine and cheese, which we did. The canal cruise was great. We really enjoyed it. Unlimited wine and cheese and a friendly knowledgeable crew. Great day getting to know Amsterdam.
