Thank you so much for the fun and informative walk yesterday! Everyone enjoyed it very much and was very enthusiastic. Have fun in Riga and maybe see you soon!
Suzanne P., Bespark, 7 Sept 2024

 

Our guide was very friendly and livened up the tour with a few little jokes/funfacts. We saw lots of great places in The Hague. This tour is a perfect introduction if you want to spend a few days in The Hague. Everything was easy to understand. Thank you for this informative and interesting tour!
Marianne F, 8 Sept. 2024.
 

Most excellent guide! Architectural and historical backgrounds were also explained very well and clearly. No question remained unanswered. We had a lot of fun. Many thanks !

Joey C., DPG, 26 August 2024.

Hereby we would like to thank you for the interesting tour through parts of Amsterdam that were unknown to us.

The tour was interesting, showed a lot of knowledge and love for Amsterdam and there were nice (personal) discussions.

Thank you for the fun tour yesterday.

Corinne W., Luxembourg, 25 May 2024.

The tour was interesting, Ruud showed us nice things and told special stories.

The pleasure was entirely mutual. I even heard it mentioned that Ruud was also a charming man.... 
Maritza B. , Brinkhof NV, 11 April 2023

​

Fantastic tour, just great. We enjoyed it very much.
Peter D, 24 Nov 2022.

​

...That we enjoyed the tour yesterday together with Bert. Compliments to him with his wealth of knowledge. We had beautiful weather, of course, and I became a lot wiser regarding the Westergasfabriek site. 
Annemarie H., Belastingdienst Amsterdam, 28 Oct 2022

 

Hello Dear Bert and Ruud,
I would like to thank you both once again for the very tasteful city tour of old Amsterdam you organised for us. It answered completely to what we had hoped and imagined. We will highly recommend you and the Stadswandelkantoor to interested parties from Flanders. 
Raymond S., Geuzenproject Nieuwkerke (B)

 

It was nice to get an explanation of everything that happens in the Zuidas via Ruud. Nice. The heat was no problem for us either. Perhaps until next time!
Jeroen S., Wind Design Build, 18 July 2022

​

We also found it very entertaining and educational, even for an Amsterdamer like me.

We had a lovely afternoon. It is worth repeating.

Rene vV, ING Bank, 09.07.2022

 

- Very good guided tour - adjusted time with a "liquid stop" (was a group tour) - guided tour took place in German and was very understandable - gladly again at any time.

Thomas S., 17.06.2022

 

It was a very interesting tour from an architectural point of view - all 16 participants of the Lions Club Essen Stadtwald agreed that we would have missed a lot without this event. One mini-restriction: if you have walking problems in general, you should do without this tour - walking on asphalt for 2 hours requires a bit of stamina.

Heinz T, 17.05.2022

 

It was an interesting and surprising walk.

Christoffel K, Onsdoel housing association, Leiden, 15.06.2022

 

It was really a lot of fun! What enthusiasm and what knowledge.

Selma vV, Amsterdam, 3 May 2022

Very competent guide.

Laurin R, Zurich, 29 April 2022

​

We have had nothing but compliments, so we are very happy with that. 
Maarten S, Onze Kapel, Haarlem, Nov 9, 2021

Dear Ruud, again I want to thank you very much for the wonderful city walk in Amsterdam. I hope we can make another walk with you, there is still a lot to see.
Ellen H. and Tiny R., Genemuiden, 4 Nov. 2021

Very courteous and committed
Heike S., Düsserdorf, 24 October 2021

Gerard dR, Siemens, 18 Sept. 2021

​

It was great to walk with you through our 'own' neighborhood and look around with different eyes. You have pointed out so many beautiful interesting buildings and provided us with information that we have been walking past for years. Very refreshing and very nice. Everyone will be happy with you as a fantastic guide.

Carla O., The Hague, 30 June 2020

​

My parents just had a tour and were very excited. Thank you for that. 

Jolien vd K., 8 March 2020

 

Can you tell Ruud that the journalist and the photographer were very enthusiastic. They received so much information that it's difficult to make a choice as to what should appear in the article. [Tour Belgian journalists]
Manon Z, Amsterdam&Partners, 5 March 2020

​

In 2014 you did a wonderful guided tour for me and my three friends in Amsterdam (IJburg). We continue to travel once a year to different cities as laymen interested in architecture. In June (...) 
Klaus K., 25.01.2020

​

The city tour through Amsterdam was very well organized. On our first evening we got a good overview of the whole city. Thank you very much for organizing the guided tour of Amsterdam for the group of students in such a short time.

Super nice guide, with a lot of knowledge... Gave us a great overview and showed us the most beautiful places of the old town!

Petra K., 13 August 2019

​

The guide presented Amsterdam in detail and with very good technical and background knowledge. It went into detail about the wishes and ideas of our travel group and took into account the different mobile capabilities of the individual group members. Despite the many tourists in the individual quarters, he knew how to inform our group in niche areas.
Ludger N., 11 August 2019

​

It was a very interesting tour. Many thanks to Ruud.
Margot L., 31 Juli 2019

​

Many thanks again for the two very interesting and entertaining guided tours in Amsterdam!  We are glad that we were able to walk with you on less well-trodden paths.
Next time we'll be happy to explore other districts with you!

We enjoyed the walk through the Bijlmer with you and of course also the interesting information. Thank you very much for that.

I just wanted to let you know that we had a really nice walk! The weather was fantastic of course, but also Bert's story was fun to follow - we heard a lot of new things and saw a lot of fun/beautiful things.
Thank you!
Samara L, 23 April 2019

​

My father and I enjoyed Ruud's tour. We both know Amsterdam well, but we were in places we had never seen before. Ruud gave the walk a personal touch by asking us some nice questions. We can highly recommend the private tour!

Francine C, February 2019

​

Thanks for the nice cruise in Amsterdam.

S.H., 07.06.2018

​

Hello Bert, we wanted to thank you for the tour last Saturday. It was very interesting to see the other side of Amsterdam and we enjoyed it. It was certainly a highlight of the Amsterdam day, it was also very busy in the city and we were tired but satisfied from the 3 hour walk. Greetings from Kalkar and Freiburg.
Myriam vE, 20 May, 2018

​

"An absolutely successful and great city tour"
It started very well: booking a private city tour was very easy. A short time later I already had email contact with our city tour and I could arrange a very good meeting point. That was of course great and very relaxed for our 10-person group. Bert guided us for two hours through the old town of Amsterdam, telling us informative things and stories about buildings and Amsterdam, showing us places, alleys that you don't get to see otherwise! It was very informative, very entertaining and funny - time flew! In the end we all thought that this tour was absolutely worth it!

Iris H., Bodensee, 14.08.2018

I would like to thank you once again for the interesting tour we took last Thursday under your guidance. The students were enthusiastic.
