I had booked my first “layover tour” through Viator last year when I had an 8 hour layover in Dubai overnight on a work trip. So when I had a 6 hour layover in Amsterdam for a work trip, I knew I wanted to get a “layover tour”. I looked through a lot of options, and Connie looked very promising. Having had another experience in a different time and place to compare to, I can say that Connie is next level! It was fantastic. So many things were better. First, you know exactly the person who will be your tour guide. The communication was great. Early on she reached out, and we connected on WhatsApp. She’s open to anything that you want to do, or you can turn the reins over to her to decide (or somewhere in between). We worked out some rough ideas weeks before the date. Then checked back in a couple of days before up until we met. She met me in the airport right at my arrival gate, and we headed to Amsterdam Central on the train. We used the lockers in the train station for me to store my bags. We first did a canal tour that was 1 hour (at my request - I needed to pay for the tour). The boat tour guide shared some things, but Connie had lots more to share. The canal tour was a great way to see things, and gives a great vantage point of the city. After we finished that, we rented bikes (also at my request - I needed to pay to rent the bikes), and then did a bike tour. We stopped at several places along the way. She was always willing to take pictures wherever I wanted. Riding bikes is a huge thing in Amsterdam. It also let us cover a bunch of ground. And I just like to ride bikes, so that was great. The other thing I wanted to try was some local street food, and have it not take too long. She picked a great place (Jonk) that we stopped with our bikes. I had Brooje Hering (herring sandwich), and Kibbeling (fried code). They were the perfect things to try. Connie is also such a great person. So pleasant and nice to spend time with. If you’re thinking of doing a tour of Amsterdam, Connie should be the one you choose!

Our tour with Constanza was the perfect introduction to Amsterdam and an absolute highlight of our trip. As our first adventure in the city, it set the tone for an incredible weekend. Constanza provided an engaging and insightful overview of Amsterdam, offering unique perspectives that only a local could share. Her extensive knowledge and expert navigation skills made exploring the city both informative and enjoyable. After the tour, we felt well-prepared to make the most of our weekend. We left with a deeper understanding of Amsterdam and cherished memories of our time with a delightful resident guide. Highly recommended!

Constanza was an amazing guide and worked with us as we were delayed due to a worldwide data outage that kept us in London for the day. We were going to do a biking tour, but it began raining and we asked if we could walk instead and she pivoted immediately. It was a great afternoon and we saw more than we expected and way more than if we tried to navigate Amsterdam on our own. A caveat to the story is that we originally booked our tours through another agency that hired Constanza. She reached out to confirm our tour because she hadn’t heard from the other company. Which struck me as odd, so I reached out to the original company and the other guide who was going to give us a full day tour outside the city. The other guide informed me that the company I booked through stopped operating and hadn’t paid them for the tours. Constanza never mentioned this and was still going to do the tour without ever telling us she wasn’t paid. I canceled right away as our schedule was crazed due to delayed flights and lost baggage. On Saturday, I sent her a message asking if I could book a tour for the next day and she got right back to confirm. She is an extraordinary guide and really showed us the beauty of Amsterdam and its charming neighborhoods. I highly recommend Constanza for any tours, she is the best!!!!

We arrived without having done much research on what we wanted to see, and Constanza was the perfect guide to take the lead and show us very fascinating and interesting elements of Amsterdam that we would’ve totally missed otherwise. Though not a native of Amsterdam, she has a keen handle on its history and shared perspective, knowledge, and insight. Thank you for a delightful four hours !!!
