We had Kendra for our guide. She was funny and informative. Our group was fairly large - but she has a loud voice so we all could hear. A good walk around the red light, Dam, and bit of the Jordan- good to do on the first day. We gave her a good tip as that is how they work!... More

Our tour guide David (the Irishman) was awesome! He was very knowledgeable, entertaining, and funny. He definitely knew his history and you could really tell he loved his job. This wasn't your typical boring monotonous tour. At all of the stops on the tour, Dave told us only the important and interesting things. He gave us lots of tips on... More

We did our tour with Mark (orange PomPom cap). I had not experienced a Sandemans tour before but I will definitely be on the look out for them in my future travels. Mark was great, easy to listen to, obviously passionate and knowledgable about the City, its history, politics and much more, painting a vibrant,colourful picture of Amsterdam and its... More

When I first heard the tour would be taking three hours I was about to leave. Thankful I didn't. The tour was great and Mark's knowledge combined with the funny stories made the tour very enjoyable. For sure I will remember lots of those things he had told us because of the way Mark tried to bring Amsterdam closer to... More

Need I say more? I love these tours...they're irreverent, informative and very addictive. We've managed to do 6 in the last two weeks and are ready for more. Sandemans make it easy to find them with the website and the red shirts, but this one in Amsterdam was busy and maybe the online reservation for 3 euros would be worth... More

We had a great time on our tour with Lars. He was knowledgable and entertaining. We got to learn some interesting things about the city and I would recommend this to anyone visiting Amsterdam.

We really liked the city after spendning two days walking around the canals but after a three hour long tour with Julian we really LOVED the city. He talked with such passion and knowledge it was impossible not to be interested. He mixed deep facts with humorous storys. When you know the story how Amsterdam was built you enjoy it... More

The tour is both free and nice, what else can you ask for? I enjoyed it greatly, even though the high amount of walking weren't good for my feet. On their webpage you can pre-order a ticket. I didn't see the point in this, it looked like they had plenty of spots for people. Maybe it's a problem during high... More

I took this walking tour after taking one with the same company in London and love it. But sadly the day I decided to do this tour the guide Mark obviously wasn't in the mood for showing people beautiful Amsterdam. But in saying this hopefully the other guides are more enthusiastic because Amsterdam is worth seeing on foot.

Tour guide was great. I had a fantastic time in this tour. I will definitely recommend this to my friends. However, I am not sure if this is a free tour. While Mattie constantly mentioned that it was free, I paid 3 Euros during online registration. Hence I was a little confused, because I didn't have to make such payments... More
