Overall rating

We had a very dedicated town hall guide. He managed to switch between Dutch and German with ease, and thus included everyone. One couple in the group had been married in the registry office 54 years ago. Everyone was very touched! Always GetYourGuide. Katrin

When I reminded the Captain that he had 2 English passengers he changed his commentary to include us. Very good English too! Dank U Well.

Really enjoyable. Perhaps some English narration? The booklet was useful but I missed all the incidental chat.

very interesting and entertaining, competent and super friendly guide - simply wonderful!

Very friendly host and a beautifully composed tour, highly recommended!
