Review of Amsterdam’s private 2-hour walking tour, covering Dam Square, Begijnhof, Bloemenmarkt, Nieuwmarkt, and local history.
“Our private tour with Henk was fabulous! Henk is super knowledgeable about Amsterdam’s history and took us to historical sites/important landmarks that we definitely would have missed on our own. The walking tour also helped us get familiar with the layout of Amsterdam which helped us navigate the city a bit easier thereafter. Overall, it was a wonderful tour and I highly recommend it!”
