Great stories and information but not enough city coverage. Guide was entertaining and has lots of knowledge but sights to see were not comprehensive.
Response from Host, May 2026
Hi there,
Thank you for your feedback — and I’m really glad to hear you enjoyed the stories and your guide’s knowledge.
I do want to clarify one point around “city coverage,” as that might be where expectations didn’t fully align.
We absolutely cover many of Amsterdam’s key landmarks — including Dam Square, the National Monument, Damrak, Beurs van Berlage, the UNESCO Canal Belt, and Westerkerk. So the main highlights are very much part of the tour.
At the same time, our focus isn’t only on moving from one monument to the next. We combine these landmarks with the stories, cultural context, and everyday life behind them — because that’s what helps guests truly understand the city.
This approach, as well as the full route, is outlined in the tour description and itinerary before booking. That said, I completely understand that if you were expecting a more fast-paced, checklist-style overview, the experience can feel different on the day.
We appreciate you sharing this perspective — it helps us stay clear and transparent about what we offer.
If you’d like to share anything more specific, you’re always very welcome to reach out to us directly — we’re happy to take a closer look.
Wishing you a great rest of your travels,
Alexandra

Moderate amount of walking but covers the key areas of the center city. Small group size was most efficient. The only issue was identifying our tour guide at the meeting point. Viator ticket was not specific to the local operators company name.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Thank you for your feedback and for joining our tour – we’re so glad you enjoyed the small group size and the key highlights of the city centre.
Regarding the meeting point, we completely understand how important it is to easily find your guide. We’ve checked in with Viator, and they gave us access to your ticket. From what we could see, our company name was indeed listed, along with the instructions on how to recognise your guide at the meeting point.
We’re not entirely sure what might have gone wrong in this case, but if you have different information on your ticket, we’d really appreciate learning from it. Please feel free to call us or email us at hello@whoisamsterdam.com so we can make sure this is crystal clear for all future guests.
Thank you again for your time and for helping us improve.
Warm regards,
Alexandra
