What people are saying about The Amstel

I booked this little tour in Italian and I have to say I liked it very much. Our guide Giulia was really very kind and given that we were the only three of us she pampered us and gave us a lot of information about what we were seeing. In addition, the bike ride allowed us to enjoy this part of the city as true Dutch!

Marck, our captain was very considerate and made us have a good, simple and friendly time. Very good way to see the center differently. Maybe put the beers a little cooler first.
