Had a seven hour layover...

V_M, Jun 2025

Had a seven hour layover in Amsterdam. My guide Anna was amazing. She showcased the history of the city; important landmarks, various districts, food, and culture. Felt completely safe. She was sensitive to time constraints while still proving the best of Amsterdam experience.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback with us! We’re thrilled to hear that you had such a positive experience during your layover in Amsterdam with Anna. It’s wonderful to know she was able to make the most of your limited time—showcasing the city's rich history, culture, and food while ensuring you felt completely comfortable and on schedule.

Read description carefully! It is a walking tour.

Marcus_S, Jan 2023

I'll start with the good, the tour guide was helpful and very knowledgeable. The cons: I'll admit I did not read the description close enough. There was only one line deep in the description that mentioned "walking experience". For the price I assumed it was a personal driver. The description said drop-off and pickup were included, in reality we had to pay for a train ride. On the way home we were just pointed to the correct train to take us to the airport. I wish the description was a little more clear I probably would not have chosen a walking tour during the winter time in the Netherlands.

Great Amsterdam Layover Experience

Scooter, Aug 2021

Great way to pass the time when you have a long layover at an airport. Anna met us at our hotel and escorted us on a walking tour of beautiful Amsterdam. She was very knowledgeable on every aspect of the city. She took us to her favorite local restaurant for lunch and helped us return to our hotel after a lovely day in Amsterdam.

An awesome 5 hours overview of Amsterdam!

Sebastien, Dec 2020

Anna Aksionava was my tour guide and she was very well educated of all the places and history of Amsterdam. I will remember this visit for a very long time!

Response from Host, Dec 2020

That's very good to hear Sebastien, thank you for sharing- we will pass this on to Anna. Have a lovely Christmas and happy travelling in 2021, hopefully things will be a lot easier! Nick

Perfect for a quick stop to AMS

My tour guide for the day, Olga, was lovely. She was very accommodating and very pleasant. I have a very nice afternoon touring the city on foot and would recommend her to anyone.
