Great overview of Amsterdam
We enjoyed our tour with Estella. We scheduled the tour for when we first arrived in Amsterdam to get an overview of the city so that we could decide what we wanted to explore further on our own. Estella did a great job with that and we enjoyed hearing the history of the city as well as her personal stories and experiences.

Wow, what an incredibly knowledgeable guide Arunabha is.
There are no facets about the red light district that he does not know.
We spent a very enjoyable and informative few hours walking the area where we learnt all about it's rich history as well as what life is like there today and what the future may hold.
Arunabha is easy to talk to and answered all our questions.

Perfect Personalised Tour
My family of two adults and three teenagers took a walking tour of Amsterdam with Sebastian in February 2025. Before the tour, Sebastian was very easy to communicate with and flexible with the arrangements. From the start of the tour Sebastian made an effort to understand what we were interested in and what type of tour we would like. He gave us a good mix of local knowledge, history, culture and interesting facts. The tour covered a lot of ground but moved at a comfortable pace. Our kids needed a food break before the planned stop and Sebastian had no problem changing things around to keep everyone fueled up. I would highly recommend Sebastian as a tour guide.
