Antonio was very pleasant and very knowledgeable about the area. We learned some fun tidbits as well as history…. A nice combination.

Guido, our guide was very much into telling the history of Amsterdam. His focus was very detailed in historical facts and little detail into what we were seeing as we walked.
He was hard to hear especially when he spoke for 20 minutes at the meeting spot where many other groups were meeting up and construction was going on in front of where he was talking. Our group was made up of 8 people, so we could have easily moved to a quieter location for the introduction to the area.
While walking he spoke, but it was hard to hear him. There did not seem to be any planned route we were taking and often we were told he would tell us more about that later which didn’t happen. Tour felt very disjointed and was disappointing as there was a lot to see and have explained in a more organized manner.

I've had many Vistor tours all over the world. This one scores the worst that I have ever experienced. It started out bad and and fell to horrible. First, the tour started about 500 feet across a busy square from the building address given. I had to use the telephone to find the guide. Second the guide was knowledgeable, but spoke softly and quickly with no tour guide headset/microphone such that all could hear him. Amsterdam raods are narrow, ao the tour was pretty much single file. There was no way to hear his words. Next, we putchased the Amsterdam walking tour with 1 hour canal boat ride. No tickets ever came for the canal boat, and the guide had no idea what or where the boat ride was. We followed others who had received tickets, but the operator said we didn't have tickets using his company. I'm going to tray to get all my money back on this lost cause.
