Great tour!

Published on Mar, 2025

I went on a wonderful afternoon walking tour with Axl. Axl was funny and informative, and the places we stopped along the way were interesting. The best part about the tour was that our group was small (4 total guests ) so there were plenty of opportunities to ask questions. I’ll definitely book again with this company in the future!

David is a great guide

Published on Feb, 2025

We felt lucky to have David (the Canadian) guide our tour! Not only was he extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic about this fascinating city, but he’s been to many cities that we have visited, and was able to share comparisons with us. He sorted out our geography, filled ours ears with the history we sought, and introduced us to places of which we had not read about. It was as perfect as a tour can be.

Not enough walking

Published on Dec, 2024

Great tour guide, he was very knowledgeable and gave some good advice of where to visit after the trip. Visited all the interesting places

Hit the Bricks Walking Tour

Published on Dec, 2024

Fantastic walking tour with Axel! He is passionate about his country. He is knowledgeable and engaging and was happy to take all our questions. As well as the popular tourist sites he showed us some hidden gems too. At the end of the tour he gave us tips for things to do and places to eat, which was very welcome. Fun, informative experience. Highly recommend!

Insightful and fun

Published on Nov, 2024

I loved the tour as it provided me with an opportunity to know the city better and beyond i.e history, culture, architecture and people of the place. My guide Axel has a beautiful way of narration and is passionate about his country and its heritage which added to the experience. A must do to really get a flavour of the real Amsterdam!
