It was a really great time with Antoine, we did a lot of walking in this fabulous city of Amsterdam, saw some incredible things and some wonderful little secret gardens, we appreciated the little directions for going out for a drink....
In short, I loved it and Antoine was very professional, caring and friendly.
It's clear that the next time I come back to Amsterdam I'll book with you with no problem and with great pleasure.
Honestly, keep up the good work and don't change a thing, everything was perfect!Mathias

Agathe accompanied us very well during our 3-hour visit. We gained a better understanding of life in the city, as well as in the province (she told us about her experience in the country).
We were able to ask all the questions we wanted, so I don't know if it would have been good to hear anything else.
I'm delighted to have found your site, as I'm not very comfortable with English.Elisabeth

Our guided tour of Amsterdam went very well. We had a great time. Our guide adapted well to our children's ages, making the tour enjoyable and fun for all. Great discoveries that wouldn't have been possible without her. Many thanks to her.

Eléa gave us a very interesting guided tour. We discovered a person who was generous with all kinds of information, which came in handy for the next few days. Between her anecdotes, her good humor and her interest in the city of Amsterdam and the country more generally, we spent 3 very good hours. I'm delighted to have benefited from your guide service, especially as it's the first time we've used it.
Thanks again for the visit and for the general good mood.Happy New Year to you and your colleagues.
Olivier and Laetitia
I'd been to Amsterdam twice before and took this tour at the beginning of our stay, mainly because I was with my teenage daughter plus a friend and her teenage daughter, who didn't know Amsterdam at all.
It was a very nice immersion. We saw lots of things, some of which I'd missed on other occasions, and above all lots of anecdotes from eLea, who's been living in Amsterdam for a year now.
She gave us lots of tips for our stay
To visit the mills on your own, for example
extremely professional. She was swamped because of us and had a very short break as they followed up with another group.
In short: top top top!Catherine
