      Very informative about...

      Very informative about the dark history of the city. Luuk was an enthusiastic guide. Not sure how he managed it, but we met a black cat eager for attention during the walk. Spooky indeed!

      Nice walking tour with interesting stories

      It was a very nice walking tour. Not too big and the guide was an excellent speaker. We saw some sights that you would normally miss and the stories were great.

      Luuk was a great tour...

      Luuk was a great tour guide. While most tours rely on broad overviews, this one is centered on historical evidence. Luuk and his colleagues conduct extensive research using archival documents, historical records, and original sources, which gives the tour depth I haven’t experienced elsewhere.

      Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and funny. It's definitely heavier on the history and urban legends than spookiness. We had a great time!

      With my husband and grown children this tour done. We all loved it! Luuk is a fantastic storyteller who knows how to back up his stories with facts. Learned a lot about special places in Amsterdam.
