    This tour was wonderful! My husband and I had Andrea for our tour guide, and she was amazing. We were a few minutes late getting to the meeting point but she was happy to greet us and get started. She was so knowledgeable. We learned so much about the history of Amsterdam and the beautiful buildings. She was so patient and we asked her thousands of questions which she answered wonderfully and non-judgmentally. She suggested different spots for her to take our pictures and we will have those memories forever! She showed us some great eating places to try and best spots for whatever entertainment we are in the mood for. I can’t say enough great things about Andrea, except I would recommend her any day!

    Agapios led us throughout several interesting landmarks in Amsterdam. We thoroughly enjoyed this tour with him. He had a lot of knowledge about the area. We took a couple of other tours while in Amsterdam and found this one to be the most informative and enjoyable. He was very personable and accommodating. I highly recommend this tour.

    Our tour guide, Agapios, was personable, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable about central Amsterdam. He mixed historical facts with interesting trivia to provide an educational and lively tour. He was very open to adjusting the tour itinerary to accommodate our individual interests.

    We had a private walking tour for the 2 of us (could have had up to a group of 6) that lasted 2 hrs.45 min. The meeting point was easy to find, the guide was on time and texted us the day before. I booked the tour prior to our arrival on my credit card. The guide was very historically knowledgeable but also offered lots of fun facts as well. We definitely covered a lot of territory and it gave us a good knowledge of the city on our first full day there! Highly recommended!!
