Review of Amsterdam’s small-group walking tour and canal cruise, with city history, landmark stops, unlimited drinks, and Dutch cheese.

Explore Amsterdam’s historic center on a small-group walk, then taste five Gouda cheeses with wine at Old Amsterdam Cheese Store.

“Tour guide Bea was super boring- she was like a school teacher whose only job was to give lecture- no light moments- no bottle bottle was provided- we were taken to a shop where. Hundreds of people were there so no cheese making process was seen no tulip field was visited. Alkamar cheese market was good- but tour guide was not helpful in any way”
Walk Amsterdam’s old center, learn its stories, and finish with Dutch cheese and wine in a small group of up to 10.
“We had an incredible walking tour in Amsterdam with Claire! She was extremely knowledgeable, sharing fascinating stories and insights about the city that brought its history and culture to life. Claire also went above and beyond to make the experience enjoyable for our family—she was so thoughtful and accommodating with our baby, which made the whole tour stress-free and fun. On top of that, her great sense of humor kept us laughing and engaged the entire time. Highly recommend booking a tour with Claire—you’ll leave with wonderful memories and a much deeper appreciation of Amsterdam!”
