A good starter tour to get your bearings when visiting Amsterdam for the first time. Our guide, Mark, although not a local, (Irish), was very knowledgeable about the history and how the city functioned. He was very clear and entertaining in his speaking and getting all the information across. I would recommend everyone try the sausage and mash (not free)... More

I went on the free tour with Mark and then his Redlight District tour because I liked the first so much. He was the best walking tour guide I had in Europe, and he kept my interest for 5 hours during both tours. The Redlight District tour was especially interesting and well-worth the money. Highly recommend this company!

My husband and I both loved this 3 hour walking tour. The best part was that our guide took us away from the touristy crowds and showed us the real city where locals spend their time. He talked about history, culture, and current events, and also made us laugh. He even discussed his political views, which we appreciated. We recommend... More

Having done the tour at London, my girlfriend and I were enthusiastic in signing up for more tours with Sandemans in other cities, our next stop was Amsterdam. Surely, it didn't disappoint. Our tour guide for the day walking tour was cheery, informative, and thorough in his description and tales of the city, how it came about, and how it... More

I took the 4:00 coffee shop tour and the 7:00 red light district tour to learn about the culture around these often forbidding activities elsewhere on our planet. The two guides I had were very informative and gave me a great perspective on life in Amsterdam. The history of these taboos and how it has benefitted their economy has definitely... More

The tour took us through the red light, to jordaan and through nice canal areas. Our guide was a bit robotic without much personality. The information itself was pretty interesting but I felt the balance between walking and getting ongoing commentary was a bit off - felt like we just walked a lot and only stopped maybe four times for...

We had South African Mark, who was funny and chatty and really informative. Great tour, with a good overview of the city - very manageable length of walk, and pointed out the main areas. Highly recommend.

Lea was our tour guide. Not only was she bloody funny, she made the 3 hour tour seem like an hour. She was very knowledgeable about hollands history. We quite a large group but she was sure everyone stayed together and acknowledged each and every one of us. Amazing amazing tour and even better tour guide.

We did the free tour with Mattie, and the Red Light District tour with Mark and had such a great time! Both guides were absolutely wonderful, and gave us so much information on the beautiful city if Amsterdam!
