“Jan is an excellent guide with a lot of knowledge about Amsterdam and can tell a varied and lively story. He discussed in advance to know what the specific wishes are and comes up with additional suggestions. This tour is highly recommended for anyone who wants to see more of Amsterdam than the usual attractions.”

“Jan is a true storyteller with a sense of humor and an original view of Amsterdam, and the rest of the world. He has taught me a lot about the city, but also about the beauty in architecture, which he specializes in as a philosopher. The lunch spot he had picked out was also a hit.”

“Jan was an amazing guide who knew the city inside out! He took us to places like Oude Kerk, Damrak Square, and the Bloemenmarkt, where we saw the famous floating flower market. He was full of interesting facts and stories about Dutch history and culture. It was a great walking tour!”

“It was poorly organized. The guide was not very knowledgeable. We asked questions that he couldnt answer about monuments and history. It was not what we had hoped for. We would not recommend our guide.”

“Jan gave us a great family Walking tour of Amsterdam. He was very friendly and knowledgeable.”

“Our family’s private tour with Jan was one of the highlights of our week in Amsterdam. Prior to the tour Jan sent an email with questions about our ages, who would be on the tour and what we were interested learning more about during our time with him. Jan was a wonderful guide and lead us on a fantastic tour of the city that was carefully planned for our family’s interests. We were also lucky enough to share a wonderful lunch with Jan as well. Jan not only has incredible knowledge of Amsterdam, but wonderful shopping and dining recommendations. Our 14 year old son loved the tour as well! A tour of Amsterdam with Jan is a must during your vacation!!”

“Hired a guide for 8 hours while in Amsterdam to take us around the city. Highly recommend. Jan was great!”

“Jan did a great job showing me around the city and teaching me all about the Dutch culture and history. I had a great day!”

“Jan provided a nice explanation of the history of the city. Took us around to all different areas to get a good sense of the area. Saw so things we would have overlooked. Very easy going.”

“Jan was a great guide. Gave us lots of historical information and showed us some interesting places, including the best place to get a stroopwaffle off the beaten path. Encouraged and answered all our questions. Would do again in a heartbeat as ima ire there is more to see!”

“It was a nice introductory walk through Amsterdam on a VERY rainy cold late November day. I would recommend it to anyone new in town for the first time to get your bearings of the city. And the restaurant recommendation we were given was perfect as well.”

“Jan was a wonderful host for our quick stop in Amsterdam. He was able to show us quite a bit of the history and culture of the city, we stopped for coffee and some fresh stroopwafels, and he left us with a good lay of the land for future trips. We’ll definitely be back to Amsterdam and I’d look for another tour with Jan.”

“Having a private guide is the best way to tour any new city and our guide, Jan was delightful. He personalized the tour according to our preferences and we felt like we were strolling the streets of Amsterdam with a friend. Jan was very intelligent and showed us some of his favorite and lesser known sites of the city. He shared an enormous amount of information about the rich history and customs of the beautiful city of Amsterdam!”

“Jan was an energetic and extremely knowledgeable guide sharing with us the culture and history of Amsterdam. We even came across a couple of unexpected unusual shops, ie the duck store, which added to the adventure. Jan was also sensitive to the fact I was walking with a cane so he kept the pace on the slower side. Had a great time!!”

“We had an amazing day with Jan in Amsterdam! He was super fun to hang out with and very knowledgeable. We would HIGHLY recommend him!!!”

“Jan Noordham was very aware as older people that I had a cane so he went slow and explained everything detail. When I needed to sit he allowed myself and my husband time to catch our breathes and then continue. He was extremely knowledgeable and a great deal of fun as we walk Amsterdam where we learned so many things about this beautiful city and country.”

“Had a wonderful day with Jan, most helpful and accommodating. Highly recommend. Jan had to think on his feet as we had a tour the previous day.”

“We enjoyed our time with Jan. He was honest when he did not know answers to our questions and was easy going. He knew his way around really well. We thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon with him.”

“Jan planned an excellent tour based on our preferences and in consideration of what we had already planned. We saw quite a few places of interest we would have never found on our own. Jan is easy to converse with and gave us an insight to life in Amsterdam. I highly recommend him!”

“Jan interacted with the children well and listened to their question.”

“Very pleasant guide who didn’t try to have all the answers. He helped us adjust the day to accommodate my reduced mobility.”

“My guide was a local named Jan. Prior to my tour, I received a list of questions for the purpose preparing an itinerary based on my interests. I had a 3 hour walking tour followed by a relaxing hour-long lunch in an outdoor café next to a canal. We sampled local fare at the café and along our walk. Jan also provided a list of additional venues for me to visit the next day along with a list of restaurants to try. Overall, my experience was fabulous and totally met my expectations. I can highly recommend Jan and the tour agency City Unscripted for a unique and enjoyable way to gain insight to Amsterdam history and life.”

“We had a great time with Jan. He was great to talk to, made the tour fun and had answers to all our questions and showed us stuff we didn’t even know we wanted to see. He adjusted the tour on the fly as we discussed and explored the city. The main example for this was the awesome hidden church tour he had found for us that made the tour very special. He showed us some great food, and shared a lot of additional suggestions beyond the tour.”

“Enjoyed Jan’s custom private tour of Amsterdam. I would recommend his tour to fellow travelers. Good personality and easy going guide.”

“We had an amazing time. Jan, our guide, made this a truly special and custom day for us. He had found some sights that we could never had even thought off that made our day. He was super fun to talk to, explained everything and adjusted the day as we went on, to meet our needs.”

“It was great to spend 4 hours with Jan touring Amsterdam, it was our first time in the city. Walking the beautiful canal-side streets gave us confidence to venture out and explore further over the next few days. Being able to speak with Jan and learn about his life in and outside of Amsterdam gave us context and information we could never obtain in the few days we had in Amsterdam without this experience. I would definitely recommend the tour for someone coming to Amsterdam for the first time and for anyone interested in the Dutch culture.”

“It was a pleasure walking the streets of Amsterdam with Jan; his stories and real-life experiences of living in this beautiful city provided us with an invaluable time and gave us confidence and direction to roam the city on our own after the tour. Jan did reach out to us about what we wanted to see on our tour prior to the date, allowing us to provide our preferences, which included historical sites and places he enjoyed eating and shopping.”

“We had a wonderful time, and our tour guide planned the day exactly as we asked. It is the way to see Amsterdam.”

“Jan was punctual, very personable and had planned our outing. Knowledge of guide was adequate. A great way to start our stay.”

“Great tour Jan N. gave a lot of local information. Felt safe being a solo traveler . Would recommend him to others.”

“Jan was a very friendly & good guide. It was like being with a friend. He was very accommodating with us not walking fast & having to stop to rest. He even carried my backpack on his back when my back started hurting near the end of the tour. I would request him if I came back to Amsterdam again.”
