My parents, husband, and I booked the 4 hour walking tour of Amsterdam and the full day countryside tour with Tom’s Travel Tours. Tom was our guide and our experience with him was exceptional.
We enjoyed our half day walking tour and covered much more ground in just 4 hours than we thought we would. He picked us up at our hotel, guided us through town, and dropped us off at a restaurant that he had recommended we reserve for lunch. He knew we had reservations for the Anne Frank Museum that afternoon and made sure to suggest a spot nearby. Between the walk, recommended lunch, and Museum, our first day in Amsterdam was covered.
It’s worth mentioning that our weather forecast for our stay in the Netherlands was abominable. Heavy rains, winds, and cool temps for the summer were predicted. Tom was flexible and well prepared - even going so far as to bring along disposable ponchos and umbrellas just in case.
The following day we traveled to various towns outside of Amsterdam. We enjoyed a morning of riding bikes and an afternoon of exploring Edam, the Windmills, and De Beemster. Tom even knows a Miller personally and scheduled time for us to privately walk through his Windmill (also his home) and property. We learned so much and are confident that we would not have had the same experience with anyone else. Tom knew that we have a sweet tooth and went out of his way to pick up cookies and chocolates to have as an afternoon treat while exploring the countryside. He even packed an IPA for my husband and cava for me. Tom displayed absolutely exceptional guiding, service, and attitude both days.
Additionally, Tom has a passion for photography and gladly photographs his guests. We so enjoyed his skills and appreciated his willingness to take pictures of our family. We know that his shots will be the best of our entire trip to Europe.
We will, without hesitation, recommend Tom to any friends and family that travel to Amsterdam. 5/5 stars. Book with him now!
