Recently my husband and I along with our dear friends had the incredible good fortune of having Dennis spend a day with us in Amsterdam, touring us through the old Jewish quarter and beyond. Dennis is amazing. He is vibrant, knowledgeable, curious, fun, and has a vast wealth of resources he is happy to share. Our one regret is that we did not have more time to book with Dennis for additional days, so do it if you can, you won't be sorry. It is very worth it to learn about Amsterdam through this thoughtful and experienced guide. Thanks Dennis! We all loved our time with you!

You need to read all the other reviews. Dennis is everything that you read in the other reviews and more. From the zoom call so he can personalize your tour to his infectious love of Amsterdam and the surrounding country, he exceeded expections. Since we were fortunate to have 12 days with Dennis, we not only got to see all the usual museums and historical sites, but also got to walk through a number of different neighborhoods and soak up the atmosphere (and wine) while sitting in local cafes. We are looking forward to our next visit to Amsterdam and seeing our new friend. Jeanne and Helga.

We had plans to see Amsterdam with Dennis back in 2020 when Covid hit. We didn’t know if the stars would align again for our family of 7 to get together and make this trip happen again– but, we were lucky enough to have that come to fruition in May of 2023. I read about Dennis back in 2019 in the Germany Rick Steve’s travel guide. We have never booked a personal tour like this, but decided with such a strong endorsement, we would. We were so glad we did. Dennis was kind enough to work thru several schedule changes with us to make this happen in 2023 and met with us twice via Zoom to get to know us a bit – and give us a chance to get to know him. Dennis did not disappoint. He is very approachable and is a great communicator. For our kids, ages 22-28, our “Dennis – guided” tour of Amsterdam was their absolute favorite throughout our 2-week plus trip thru Amsterdam and much of Germany. Dennis is so knowledgeable and has a true love for his city. This is evident in the stories he shares. We all felt that spending our day with Dennis was like spending a day with a good friend. Getting to learn about Amsterdam – its neighborhoods, culture, lifestyle, history, architecture, and hidden spots – the bonus. He is incredibly knowledgeable. He was gracious enough to make suggestions for our stay, to take care of getting our tickets to the Anne Frank house, and to schedule a canal tour for us as well. Thank you Dennis for such an enjoyable time! You helped us create some very fond family memories in exploring and learning about Amsterdam. Great city. Fantastic guide!

Spending the day exploring Amsterdam with Dennis was THE highlight of our recent trip. We learned so much about life in the Netherlands, its history, customs, architecture, food and more (he was trained as an architect before starting a travel biz). We Zoomed the week before so Dennis could get to know us and understand our areas of interest, and he even gave us ideas about other Dutch cities we planned to visit. When we met Dennis in person, we instantly felt at ease -- it was like we were exploring the city with an old friend who happened to know the city inside and out. We were with Dennis for 6 hours and the day flew by. It was not inexpensive, but worth every Euro! If we get back to Amsterdam, we will definitely book Dennis again.

Walking the city with someone who lives there is the way to go. We Zoom’d w Dennis prior to leaving the US which was extremely helpful as far as letting him know what we were all interested in seeing and getting to know him a bit. We walked, took a canal ride on a private boat, had lunch on the boat and walked the afternoon away. We ended our day long tour in a pub over a beer, perfect ending to a great day. Dennis recommended a few restaurants on our zoom call which we were able to make reservations for before we even left the US. Great idea. I highly recommend Dennis for his knowledge, enthusiasm and organization.
