Finn did a great job...

Kathie_K, Apr 2026
Finn did a great job walking us around Amsterdam. It was a quick tour with lots of history and stories. Thanks for the yummy Stroopwaffels.

Historical Walk

Diane_B, Jun 2022
Great guide. Not a super great walking tour. I don’t know if I would do it again. Not a lot of substance.

Seeing the city with Rosie

EMG, Mar 2020
Fantastic experience with Rosie. Very knowledgeable about the history of the city and the people. Walking with Rosie was like walking with a friend showing you around town. This is a great way to orient yourself. Before Rosie we always walked the wrong direction after Rosie we took the tram with confidence. Just great!
