In a word, amazing! We first learned about Dennis when we heard his interview by Rick Steves on NPR. I contacted him by email and he was quick to respond. We set up an initial video meet and greet to map out a rough itinerary for our 3 day trip to Amsterdam. Dennis helped secure museum tickets and book restaurant reservations which were an absolute must during our August trip. Before our arrival, Dennis was extremely responsive to our questions about what to pack, best way to get from the airport to the hotel, etc. Needless to say, he did not disappoint in person. Dennis is extremely knowledgeable about Amsterdam pointing out architectural, cultural and culinary details that only an insider would know. He guided us to the best shops and restaurants always mindful to avoid crowds and long lines. Dennis is extremely flexible adjusting our itinerary to suit the interests and energy level of our group. He has a down to earth and easy going personality that endeared him to everyone in our family. Indeed, we were as sad to leave Dennis as we were his lovely city. Thanks to Dennis, we were able to relax and enjoy Amsterdam as a local, something we would not have been able to do in a large group tour or on our own with a guide book. Since our return to the United States, my children have continued to remark that Amsterdam was the best vacation that we have ever taken as a family. Thank you Dennis for a wonderful trip. We have fond memories of you and Amsterdam.
Hi Linda,
Wow what a great review.
Thank you.
Even after 3 days I wish we had more time.
It was great meeting you and showing you my city.

Dennis deserves so much credit, and others need to know about him and use him as their guide when visiting Amsterdam and the surrounding area. My teen boys and I spent two days with Dennis and I cannot say enough good and positive things. From the constant communication in planning, the video chat to explore itineraries, the help making museum and dinner reservations, the great ability to cater to our curiosity, to the tireless energy he provided during our tours, Dennis deserves so much credit for making our trip beyond expectations. We crossed the city, visiting locations we never would have found by ourselves, learning about history, culture and architecture, and Amsterdam past and future. He is a guide that deserves to have others discover his passion and drive for showing off the city and people he loves. My teen boys raved about their experience with Dennis. Hopefully he saves a spot for us on our next visit!
Hi Ben,
Thank you for the Ten Stars!
What a good time I had with you and your boys.
Great company.
I hope to see you again.

Denis was great. We found him through Rick Steves book. Denis was very responsive. He scheduled a zoom meeting with us to discuss what we were looking for in our trip. He had no problem creating an itinerary for us, purchasing our tickets and assisting with everything. Denis provided full service and attend to our every need. He was extremely knowledgeable and we could feel how much he loved his city, and his guests. If you want a guide during a visit to Amsterdam, use Denis!
Hi Jason,
Great review = Big thank you
It was nice meeting you, your wife and tour friends.
I'm always happy to create a personal itinerary.
See you next time.

Dennis took us on a tour of a clog factory and cheese factory outside of Amsterdam near the city of de rijp. In addition he took us to windmills to see. We were able to go inside the windmill to see how it was set up when it was in use. Dennis was very knowledgeable and helpful. He knows so much about Amsterdam and the surrounding areas. He did a wonderful job on the tour. He knew the places to go to where there would be the least crowds. He also knew the best place to go to eat. We spend an enjoyable day with him, and if we get back to Amsterdam, we will definitely use him again.
Hi Kathy,
What a lovely day in the countryside.
Nice to hear you had an enjoyable day.
It was a pleasure meeting you.

Dennis is a must for your trip to Amsterdam (and surrounding cities). We booked him for a day in Amsterdam including a private boat tour to end the day. We also booked two day trips outside of the city. Unfortunately, one was canceled due to severe weather conditions. The one we took was to Leiden, which was well worth the time. Dennis is very personable and knowledgeable about many areas especially history, architecture, and things to do. We could not have been happier about the time and money we spent with him. He has ideas of what to do but is also very happy to accommodate your personal interests as well. In addition to the time you are with him, he will also recommend restaurants and other places to go and things to see. Contact him early. He'll "meet" you on zoom and plan your adventure.
Hi Deborah,
It was great meeting you and spending time in Amsterdam and Leiden together.
Thank you for your kind words.
I wish we had more time.
Your friend from Amsterdam, Dennis
Dennis did a great job showing us around his city. It was like having a friend who knew the city inside and out and could tell you everything about it. It was the highlight of our vacation.
Hi Jay,
I'm happy to hear our time together was the highlight of your vacation.
It was a pleasure meeting you and being your host.
