Oude Kerk Tours

Our guide Pedro was extremely knowledgeable. He shared many facts about Amsterdam that were related to the red light district as well as many other historical facts and events related to Amsterdam. Also we had originally been scheduled for a 6:00 time slot and he welcomed us to join him with another small group at 4:00 . Thanks Pedro

We were booked on the last tour of the day, which meant that we got to watch the sun set as we left the red light district. There were only a few others booked on this time slot so we had the whole back of the boat to ourselves (group of 5 of us). Our tour guide was excellent- he gave us a lot of information about the history of the city, the buildings, and canals that we passed, while creating a relaxed atmosphere with his anecdotes and facts. He had a great sense of humour too, and you could tell he enjoys his job, talking to people, and the city. The boat itself is cozy and covered, with an open section at the front and the back if you wish to sit outside. The drinks included beer, wine, and soft drinks. I'd highly recommend this as a short and fascinating tour of Amsterdam's highlights.

The meeting place was easy to find. We were a small group which enabled us to stay together easily and I was able to hear all the information clearly. David our guide was informative engaging and when appropriate amusing in his delivery of the history and evolution of the area. The beer was also nice but potent for a pensioner. A couple of hours well spent.
