History and stories behind the pertinent buildings and establishments

Fabulous introduction to Amsterdam. Saw many highlights in one afternoon and appreciated learning the history. Was also great to be part of a small group. Thanks for a great tour James.

James was an amazing guide - great sense of humor, impressive depth of knowledge and overall it was just a perfect introduction to the city that he clearly loves showing off.

Amazing tour, highly recommend. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and was a life long local

The tour was fantastic. Scarlett was a great guide, very knowledgeable and at the same time made it feel like walking through town with a friend. Highly recommend this experience!!!

Aurore was a great guide! We had a wonderful time, very enjoyable, visiting some beautiful parts of the city that we probably wouldn't have visited without her! All the information shared was very interesting and relevant. Aurore is passionate about this city, and you can feel her love for Amsterdam! You can book with your eyes closed!

What a wonderful discovery! During a team building exercise, Aurore introduced us to some of Amsterdam's little-known yet beautiful neighborhoods. It was a pleasant, cultural (but not overly so) tour, and a very good atmosphere. Aurore's enthusiasm and attentiveness in organizing her tour and her many other great ideas were exceptional. I highly recommend it! Thank you for everything, Aurore.

A family bike ride with teenagers and young adults. We all loved the ride; Aurore is lovely. She stopped to tell us about Amsterdam's history and the local way of life, and gave us her recommendations for sightseeing, restaurants, and places to discover. Aurore safely taught us how to cycle in this surprising and incredibly welcoming city.

We just returned from a few days of sightseeing in Amsterdam, where we had the chance to discover Aurore and "Amsterdam en secret." We highly recommend her services, which allowed us to discover this wonderful city in exceptional conditions and in our native French. Aurore knows the best spots in this city better than any Amsterdammer, and she'll help you enjoy them. Aurore is attentive to her clients and does everything she can to ensure their stay is as pleasant as possible. They are happy to share their favorite restaurants or must-see places in the city if you ask. In short, we highly recommend the services of AMSTERDAM EN SECRET... Charlotte and Jérôme,

We loved this bike tour with Aurore. It allowed us to visit key locations in Amsterdam, taking less crowded streets and covering a much larger area than we could on foot. We discovered some very charming neighborhoods that made us want to return. Aurore guided us and provided explanations throughout the ride! Just follow the guide! She's a very friendly person who shares her experience and knows the city well. A fantastic experience, highly recommended and worth repeating!
