Excellent trop to know Amsterdam! - I joined the trip right after I arrived in Amsterdam, which helped me quickly get to know the city. Alexandra's explanation was very interesting and passionate. The people she took us to meet and their stories helped me learn a lot about the social and human side of Amsterdam that general tours won’t tell. And there were apple pie, beer, and more delicious food!It was great! Recommend to friends coming to Amsterdam!

Gezelligheid Amsterdam - an unexpected tour about the real people in a big city that’s really a cozy little town - The best kind of vacation is when you travel somewhere and you get to know the people and the community; when you step outside of being a tourist and experience how locals live. This walking tour was a highlight of our vacation to learn things about the history, architecture, economy, and mostly the people who live and work here in Amsterdam. A unique and wonderful experience.

The best tour, don’t hesitate to book! The hype is real! - This was, by far, the best tour we have ever done, and we have tried all kinds in many different countries. Alexandra is not just an experienced and wonderful guide; she is a unique human being. The tour focuses on real people of Amsterdam with authentic stories, and independent and varied points of view. We met with her “friends”, and heard their own stories first hand, all whilst walking through De Wallen and Jordaan, experiencing a Brown Cafe, a Coffee Car, and an “Honest” Bar. Through all of this, Alexandra weaved a tapestry of interesting historical and contemporary issues without sounding like a school teacher or a political commentator. It felt like we were in someone’s living room. On top of that, she was able to create camaraderie amongst the rest of the tour participants. We all left the tour knowing something about each other and felt a warmth toward humanity. This is a one of a kind experience and it truly felt like a gift!

A different look at Amsterdam - We had a great 4 hours with Alexandra meeting some of the “Humans of Amsterdam”. Plenty of opportunities to ask questions and pause along the way.

Get to know Amsterdam through an afternoon of real stories from real people - Excellent tour for a real taste of Amsterdam that doesn’t feel like a tour. Our afternoon was full of stories not only from our guide but also from real locals who met us along the way. We also had the opportunity to sample some local drinks and one of the local favorites for Dutch Apple Pie in an authentic brown bar. The small group size adds another level of excellence and we had great conversations while we strolled. I can’t recommend this tour enough. Our guide was Sinead and you couldn’t ask for anyone better. Highly recommend this tour.

Great way to experience the city - This tour was exactly what I was hoping for. A laid back, non-commercial, REAL, Amsterdam experience. Being able to talk with real locals, even some that weren’t supposed to be part of our tour but happily joined us at the pub, was special. And I truly appreciate Sinead’s honesty and humor throughout the afternoon. I would highly recommend to anyone. I’ve

Exceptional tour of Amsterdam - A wonderfully informative, personal and authentic tour of Amsterdam. Sinead led our group of 5 through some rainy weather keeping us comfortable and entertained. The 4 hours flew by with two stops for refreshments at very special local spots and meetings and conversations with two other Amsterdamers, which we ill not soon forget. We've taken many city tours, while traveling, and this one stands out for helping us feel connected to a new city and the lovely people who live there.
