Amsterdam Tour Reviews
“Last minute booking of a guide”
I had booked this guided tour on behalf of my husband and son. They were in Europe and I was in Canada. My communication with David was good, I had asked for a profile of the guide and was directed to TripAdvisor (unable to find him). Go with Guide makes it difficult to communicate as they only release information at the last moment. There was a bit of confusion with starting point, they did meet up. I was told that Rob was their best guide who had deep knowledge around politics and the war, my family members said the tour was fine, top line, they were hoping for a bit more depth. I am thankful that David was able to help me out at the very last moment.
