Absolutely Amsterdam - the Essential Introductory Walking Tour

Karen_G, May 2026

You’ll get your steps and tons of info in an entertaining way

We appreciated the lack of a didactic approach (not heavy on dates and names) and the deeper dive into the societal and cultural aspects of the number of different sights. Annalise was charming, informative and engaging. We covered more than we thought possible in the time given.
