Very Knowledgeable Guide
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.

Best tour of Amsterdam!
We had an absolutely fantastic walking tour of Amsterdam with Olga! From start to finish, her knowledge, warmth, and passion for the city made this a truly memorable experience. Over the 3 hours, Olga brought Amsterdam’s history and culture to life, sharing fascinating stories and insights that we never would have discovered on our own.
The best part was how personalized the experience felt. Olga took the time to understand our interests and tailored her recommendations to suit us perfectly. The next day, we went back to many of the wonderful places she pointed out (the cookies, the waffles, the restaurants!) and it made our time in Amsterdam so much richer and more enjoyable.
Olga’s enthusiasm and expertise are unmatched, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. If you’re looking for a tour that’s engaging, informative, and full of hidden gems, Olga is the one to book with. Best guided tour we’ve had!
