The city, incredible, and the food, delicious - I loved that the guide explained everything he taught us so well. I had been to Amsterdam before, but this time it was different, as I got to know the history well and get an idea of the Dutch way of life.
Plus, it's a great experience to do with friends, we all left very happy!
Then we went to eat the pancakes, and they were so delicious! Well, actually, not just the pancakes, but everything we tried! If you have the opportunity, take this tour, it is an incredible 2x1, you visit the city and try delicious food!

Get to know the charming city and atmosphere of Amsterdam. - Rob was an amazing guide with his depth of knowledge and his cadence integrating all of the information into a wonderful experience. It was a true introduction to Amsterdam and its history. I had been to Amsterdam before, but now I feel I have a better understanding of it as well as the Dutch people. We also had the pancake lunch. The food was excellent and the service outstanding. I had the best tomato soup I had ever tasted served with pesto. I highly recommend this tour.

Wonderful Dutch Pancake Experience - This place is very cosy, the setting is beautiful from the paintings on the wall to the ceiling art, which was wonderful. The food was great. If you want to experience the Dutch Pancake, this is the place. Lots of choices. The servers/waiters were very attentive.

Cheese shop was excellent! - As with all tours, so much depends on the guide. Ours was guiding tours to practice his English (Spanish native) which made things difficult. Generally speaking the tour was good -- we had arrived the day before so it was nice to get the lay of the land and see some markets. But our guide had a meeting to get to, so he punched in the address of the cheese shop in my phone and we were on our own. The owner of the shop, and all of his staff, were EXCELLENT to us. They were so knowledgeable and treated us very well. Overall a positive experience, but there was a lot of confusion to overcome.

Unsatisfactory - Did not receive items as promised on ticket. Waiter was less than friendly when I presented my ticket. He made uncomfortable. Would not go back to that establishment
