Walking Tour of Amsterdam With Great Guide

Jim_K, Jun 2025

Walking excursion throughout Amsterdam. Connie was a GREAT tour guide--super friendly, knowledgeable. She was even able to get us into the Anne Frank house/museum when we had not prepurchased tickets. Lovely tour and would recommend.

Next Level - This is who you want for your Amsterdam tour!

Daniel_B, Sep 2024

I had booked my first “layover tour” through Viator last year when I had an 8 hour layover in Dubai overnight on a work trip. So when I had a 6 hour layover in Amsterdam for a work trip, I knew I wanted to get a “layover tour”. I looked through a lot of options, and Connie looked very promising. Having had another experience in a different time and place to compare to, I can say that Connie is next level! It was fantastic. So many things were better. First, you know exactly the person who will be your tour guide. The communication was great. Early on she reached out, and we connected on WhatsApp. She’s open to anything that you want to do, or you can turn the reins over to her to decide (or somewhere in between). We worked out some rough ideas weeks before the date. Then checked back in a couple of days before up until we met. She met me in the airport right at my arrival gate, and we headed to Amsterdam Central on the train. We used the lockers in the train station for me to store my bags. We first did a canal tour that was 1 hour (at my request - I needed to pay for the tour). The boat tour guide shared some things, but Connie had lots more to share. The canal tour was a great way to see things, and gives a great vantage point of the city. After we finished that, we rented bikes (also at my request - I needed to pay to rent the bikes), and then did a bike tour. We stopped at several places along the way. She was always willing to take pictures wherever I wanted. Riding bikes is a huge thing in Amsterdam. It also let us cover a bunch of ground. And I just like to ride bikes, so that was great. The other thing I wanted to try was some local street food, and have it not take too long. She picked a great place (Jonk) that we stopped with our bikes. I had Brooje Hering (herring sandwich), and Kibbeling (fried code). They were the perfect things to try. Connie is also such a great person. So pleasant and nice to spend time with. If you’re thinking of doing a tour of Amsterdam, Connie should be the one you choose!

I look forward to seeing you on your next visit to Amsterdam!

Unforgettable Amsterdam Exploration with a Local Expert

Michael_C, Aug 2024

Our tour with Constanza was the perfect introduction to Amsterdam and an absolute highlight of our trip. As our first adventure in the city, it set the tone for an incredible weekend. Constanza provided an engaging and insightful overview of Amsterdam, offering unique perspectives that only a local could share. Her extensive knowledge and expert navigation skills made exploring the city both informative and enjoyable. After the tour, we felt well-prepared to make the most of our weekend. We left with a deeper understanding of Amsterdam and cherished memories of our time with a delightful resident guide. Highly recommended!

Response from Host, Sep 2024

Thank you, Michael and Katelyn, for such a lovely review! It was wonderful to meet you and spend those hours with you. I am very happy to hear that you enjoyed our time together as well, and my input was enough to leave you feeling well-prepared to make the most of your weekend in Amsterdam. Thank you again. I wish you all the best and hope to see you back in Amsterdam soon!

Glad we did the private tour. Worth every penny.

judy_m, Jul 2024

We arrived without having done much research on what we wanted to see, and Constanza was the perfect guide to take the lead and show us very fascinating and interesting elements of Amsterdam that we would’ve totally missed otherwise. Though not a native of Amsterdam, she has a keen handle on its history and shared perspective, knowledge, and insight. Thank you for a delightful four hours !!!

Amsterdam in a Flash

Rachelle_S, Feb 2024

From stages of planning through execution, Constanza handled them with utmost care and attention to detail. She coordinated our meet-up meticulously, providing transit & map info for ease of navigation. Constanza's cheerful disposition and warm personality kickstarted the tour, and made the gloomy day brighter. Our bike ride (separate fee, to include tour guide rental) through Amsterdam was a great way to see the city. I only had a few hours between flights and wanted to get the city highlights. Constanza ensured the tour included so much more than I expected, including photo stops and historical tidbits along the way. She even brought rain gear and gloves to protect us both from the elements! The tour route was carefully planned to maximize the time and locations that I'd asked to see during our planning communication. Constanza's flexibility and professionalism was as equally impressive as her knowledge and love for Amsterdam. This tour and tour guide are both highly recommended!
