Christian was a wonderful host and told us tons of interesting facts about Amsterdam and it’s history. He brought us to areas not mentioned in guidebooks and pointed out numerous things we would have missed on our own. Christian didn’t hesitate to answer all our questions, even when we strayed from the topic being discussed. I highly recommend this if you’re looking for a knowledgeable guide and a different view of Amsterdam !

Diese Tour hat uns Amsterdam gezeigt, nicht auf den üblichen touristischen Wegen, dafür mit vielen Blicken auf verborgene Schönheiten. Das war ein Genuss, perfekt vorbereitet.

Michael war äußerst sympathisch und hat ein großartiges Wissen über Amsterdam aufgebaut. Ich mochte die Geschichte, die er während des Spaziergangs erklärte, und ihre Auswahl an erstaunlichen Amsterdamer Gebäuden. Wir gingen in eine Gegend, die ich alleine nie entdeckt hätte. Ich kann diesen Stadtspaziergang jedem empfehlen, der nach Amsterdam kommt und eine Ecke entdecken möchte weg vom Massentourismus.
