Nice tour with Alex - Alex guided us through Amsterdam's old town with a lot of expertise, humor and charm. The two hours were not boring. Thank you very much. We'd be happy to do it again.

Interesting and relaxed city tour, starting at Dam - We liked Alex right away when we met. He told us key points of the city's history in a relaxed and interesting way, with a lot of background knowledge. We spent 2 hours strolling through the city with him. It was entertaining and very personal, as there were only 6 of us guests. Thank you very much - and best wishes from the Renger family

A special kind of city tour: individual, informative, funny and lovely - We can only warmly recommend the cultural city center tour with Marina from Amsterdamliebe. Individual (only two couples), very informative but not overloaded, funny and lovely, are just some of the attributes of this tour. Marina was very individual in her approach to our questions and gave competent answers.

Very informative, excitingly told - Thank you Alex for this great and informative tour through Amsterdam! We learned a lot and, for example, finally know what the three crosses are all about. PS: there wasn't too much history for us either :D

Great bike tour - We did the bike tour through Noord. Shari was super friendly and competent. It was very interesting and we discovered some very pretty places. We were a couple with a 14-year-old child. We would recommend the tours and do a different one next time. Great and keep it up, best wishes Eva

Friendly city guide - great city tour - Hello everyone, on Sunday, March 17th, we took part in a cultural city tour by amsterdamliebe (booked through getyourguide). We were very lucky to meet Justin (psychology student from Frankfurt). The young man explained the history of the city of Amsterdam to us in a very concise manner during the 2-hour tour. The tour was very informative, entertaining and multifaceted. Justin also had answers to further questions. He was also not afraid to critically evaluate history from the perspective of human rights (e.g. the colonial period). Keep it up! We look back fondly on these refreshing 2 hours in Amsterdam. Justin is a positive figurehead for his university city! We wish Justin all the best for the future! Dieter and Jutta from Nuremberg

Simply great 😊 - We came across "Amsterdamliebe" by chance... For our short vacation, I had booked a private tour of the center with food stops. Our guide Marina was simply wonderful ☺️ She kept a close eye on both us adults and the children. We learned a lot of interesting things about Amsterdam. The culinary stops included coffee, chocolates, cheese and of course fries (the peanut butter, mayo and onion sauce is highly recommended 👍) It was a lovely highlight of our trip - thank you very much for that.
