A must do on the first day after arrival into Amsterdam. Provides a great lay of the land and historical tidbits.

We had a fantastic tour with David! We communicated a bit before and from the moment we met to when he walked us back to our cruise ship, everything was wonderful! He was very informative and showed us the best local treats to get! We were very glad to have him as our guide around Amsterdam!
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you. It was great fun to meet your lovely family!
Cheryl_A, Jun 2026
This was the best tour! Dave was educational, clearly a history buff, funny, and so interestingly detailed that he captured our attention. We learned so much about Amsterdam and he made it fascinating. We also learned about the best places to eat, get cookies, French fries and tiny puff pancakes, which we ended up sampling after our tour. So good. I highly recommend Dave as a tour guide. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with him.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you, Cheryl. I am happy to hear you enjoyed the tour as much as I did, meeting you!

This is a must do! Tour was very informative, fun, and just overall extremely well done. The tour guide did a fantastic job and he really gave everything so much thought! We had my young daughter with us and he made sure to include her as well. Can’t say enough good things about this tour!

David provides a fun, informative walkabout in Amsterdam. Insightful commentary on the Dutch and this beautiful city wrapped up in a fun delivery. All smiles...just go for it! And consider David for private tours of the museums in Amsterdam as well...we had David take us through the Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh Museum....exceptionally presented and informative.
Response from Host, May 2026
So many thanks. It was a joy to meet you all and show you the city and museums I love!
saby_c, Apr 2026
David was very knowledgeable and passionate about Dutch history. We were able to see neighborhoods and sites of Amsterdam that we were not expecting to see.
David was engaging with everyone in the group.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you. It was a lovely group.
Jim_R, Apr 2026
This was a fun and interesting tour that showed us places we would never have found alone and our guide was great.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thanks Jim. We had a great group!
Janet_K, Apr 2026
David was an incredible guide!! He was friendly, knowledgeable, personable, and so well informed on all the gems of Amsterdam! We travel a lot and this was by far the best walking tour we’ve ever been on. Highly recommend!!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Praise indeed! So happy to read that. It was great to have you on the tour!
Theodoros_A, Apr 2026
A highly positive experience of a walking tour with a knowledgable, humorous guide apparently loving what he does and being healthily proud of his city. We ‘ve seen some hidden spots in Amsterdam that do also tell an inner story of the town - a far cry from tedious monologues on the splendour of buildings and sovereign long gone and forgotten ;-)). I would certainly recommend a tour led by David R., our guide for that day
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you. It was great to meet you both!
Asma_A, Apr 2026
Our guide David was a friendly and knowledgeable guide. The time went by quite quickly learning about different little things about Amsterdam city.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you Asma! I am happy you and your daughter enjoyed our time together.
Daniel_G, Mar 2026
Great tour! Covered a lot, but the pace was good. Very knowledgeable and engaging. Highly recommend!
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Many thanks for the great review! I am happy you enjoyed it. It was a great group.
deborahpantoni, Mar 2026
Our guide was a great storyteller. We didn’t walk in all the listed areas, but we learnt a lot about some nooks and crannies we may never have gotten to see.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you, Deborah! The tour always varies depending on the day and what people have already seen. I am happy you enjoyed it!
Mike_A, Mar 2026
Our guide David has created a unique experience for his walking tour. Rather than focus on old buildings and churches, he emphasizes what it is like to live in the Netherlands and what it is like to be Dutch. You might visit the Van Stapele cookie store that has become wildly successful by keeping it simple and doing only one thing, but doing it very well. You may also visit the Het Begijnhof, a historic home for elderly women, exemplifying how the Dutch look after one another. This tour was a truly great experience and David has clearly put a great deal of thought into making it unique and informative.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thanks Mike! I am glad you enjoyed it!
Kathleen_N, Mar 2026
David was a wonderful guide. In addition to pointing out key points of interest, he took us to areas we would never have found on our own. He loves history and art and told us the history of the city in an interesting way. We loved the small group. It was easy to ask questions and get around the city. He also provided us with a list of recommendations for the rest of our trip.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thanks, Kathleen. I am happy you enjoyed our time together. Indeed, the small-group format is best!
Patricia_G, Oct 2025
Our guide, David, was very knowledgeable of the city (past and present) and gave an overview of what it’s like to live in Amsterdam now. The tour was very enjoyable.
Response from Host, Oct 2025

imthrifty2, Apr 2025
Loved this tour - both in general, as it gave us a great overview and enhanced understanding of Amsterdam (it's history, cultural, layout, etc), but also because of our fabulous tour guide, David. Not only was he highly knoweldgeable, but he was funny, kept just the right pace, provided lots of information but not too much, and overall made the tour all the more fun and engaging!
Response from Host, Apr 2025
I'm happy you enjoyed it as much as I did meeting you!

Haydee_M, Apr 2025
David is very friendly, witty and knowledgeable about the city. We had a great cultural tour of the city with bits of the city’s character and popular culture. David made the 3 hour tour so easy and comfortable keeping us engaged and entertained. This is a must do!
Response from Host, Apr 2025
Thanks Haydee. It was great to have you both on the walk!
Claire_D, Mar 2025
David was the most brilliant guide. We spent 3 hours listening, learning and laughing. Engaging, interesting and funny. We couldn’t have asked for more. It was the right pace and balance with my 14 year old absolutely loving the tour. An absolute must if you visit Amsterdam and just wish we were staying longer to be able to attend some of the other tours David offers. We will be back.
Response from Host, Mar 2025
I am very happy you both enjoyed the tour as much as I enjoyed meeting you both. Hope to see you again next time!
Cynthia_M, Mar 2025
Small group. Diana was friendly and informative. Easy to locate inside the main entrance of the train station. She provided us with lots of information, took pictures, chose itinerary to avoid the large bus tours. This was an excellent small group tour.
Pedro_C, Nov 2024
You can see that David really enjoys what he does. Lots of great information and back stories. Very glad to have participated. Highly recommended.
Response from Host, Nov 2024
Many thanks for your kind words. It was a pleasure to have you both on the tour!
