This free walking tour was truly amazing! 🤩 I was absolutely charmed by the beautiful canals and the unique, leaning buildings along the water. 🏘️ It was such a fantastic way to experience the city's special vibe and discover its hidden corners. 🗺️ I totally recommend checking it out! ✨ It was a memorable and picture-perfect adventure. A huge thank you to our guide Misael for his local knowledge and entertaining words. The only diappointing thing is people on the tour didn't chip in a tip for our guide, who did a great job 👍📸🚶‍♀️🛶😊💯

Our walking tour with Sebastiaan was excellent. He was very knowledgeable, sharing detailed history not just about Anne Frank and her family, but also about the broader context and events leading up to that era. We ended up learning a lot about general Dutch history that we weren't expecting. The pace of the tour was well managed, and Sebastiaan was generous with his time, addressing all our questions thoroughly. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a solid, insightful history tour of the area.
