I really and truly enjoyed myself on this tour. I have spent quite a lot of time in Amsterdam but was amazed by the hidden gems Charlotte showed us on our walk. I learned a great deal about the influence of Indonesian and Surinamese food in The Netherlands. I will definitely plan to try a Surinamese Restaurant soon. The walk was the perfect length and we stopped and snacked along the way. Perfect experience for foodies or history buffs, see Amsterdam through the eyes of a local…the best way!!  Make sure to allow yourself so extra time to enjoy the last stop and savor the locally brewed beer. This tour is a great value for the price since all snacks/drinks are included.

The musical walking tour through The Hague made me look at the city with new eyes – it was truly fascinating to learn about an aspect of the history of this city that I was completely unaware of! Simon’s knowledge about the subject and the pleasure and ease with which he shared his information with us were a delight. The walk took 2 hours, but seemed to be over in no time! A special gift at the end of the tour (you’ll have to book it yourselves to see what it was…) gave the entire afternoon an extra memorable ending. In short: I much enjoyed my experience!

This is a very cool and unique way to explore Amsterdam like the locals do! I would recommend it to everyone who’s visiting Amsterdam!

I was very impressed by the experience. I loved the little cafe where we started the journey by first meeting our local tour guide Charlotte. She was so lovely and had a great way of presenting the food history of Amsterdam in a relatively short time. As someone who likes to experience cities on my own I found this tour to be a very helpfull and unique way of observing the surroundings and learning at the same time. My favourite part about the experience is that it’s kept in a small group so everyone can hear and taste everything. I do have to mention that the tour itself ended right on time but the last part, that is the beer tasting/hangout at the pub, goes past the 2,5hrs. That is just something to keep in mind in case you are on a tight schedule. For me that was not a problem at all and I really enjoyed that last bit aswell. I would recommend this tour to anyone that likes to experience things diferently! I went on my own and it was nice to meet new people and see Amsterdam from another prespective. I also think this could be a great idea for a gift.

The Hague is a beautiful city and Simon’s tour opened my eyes to its great musical past. It was a lovely way to explore the city and spend an afternoon. It made me want to learn about my own cities music history. Highly enjoyable.

This was an excellent quality tour and a unique way to experience the city of Amsterdam. Charlotte was extremely knowledgable, and curated the stops on the tour so that we were able to experience a wide variety of Dutch food types, as well as see some of the interesting and beautiful hidden architectural gems in the oldest part of Amsterdam. In a city with so many tourists and an overwhelming number of places to visit, it was so refreshing to have a chance to speak with a local and see her recommendations for exploring the city. Very highly recommended. Claire McGuire
