What our guests say

One of the best tours in Amsterdam

This is a perfect way to see a little bit of the countryside outside of Amsterdam – and learn quite a bit about Dutch ingenuity, culture and customs – with a very knowledgeable and friendly guide.
Leander is responsive, on time and very conversational – sharing his love for his home country – he knows the owners of the places you see which gets you a much more intimate experience than the larger groups going through.
If you enjoy learning and good conversation this is one of the best tours i have been on – you leave feeling more knowledgeable about the country you are visiting.
Also if you are a queer traveler – The Netherlands is a very safe country – and Leander is a kind, considerate and inclusive person – you will feel perfectly safe, seen and at ease with him as your guide.
Would highly recommend any of his tours!!

Great way to get out of the city!

This was a lovely tour and great way to see more of the Netherlands than just Amsterdam. It was nice to have the opportunity to ask Leander tons of questions and hear personal experience. He’s very knowledgeable! The stops were all very nice. No tips really needed – bring comfortable shoes for brief walks. Plan to buy cheese at the factory! You can travel with the cheese to the US if it’s unopened – I wish I bought more.
