CONNECTING GREAT GUIDES WITH SMART TRAVELERS

We believe in supporting our local communities and are committed to giving a voice to self-employed guides who have chosen Amsterdam as their home. By ensuring that every native English speaking guide represents our unique style of mixing history and story-telling while maintaining their own personality and flair, we’ve become one of the most popular tour companies in the world. Helping superb independent guides connect with thousands of travelers a day, we provide these local freelancers the possibility to inform and entertain you, and they employ us to spread the news about this great concept.

BUT HOW CAN A FREE TOUR BE ONE OF THE BEST IN EUROPE

The answer is simple: because the informed, entertaining, and unforgettable guides on our Free Tours work on a tips-only basis, the highest quality is guaranteed! They’ll never pressure you to tip – even though the guides receive no compensation from our host cities for the free tours they provide. We believe that if money is given, it should be voluntary and in direct proportion to the quality of the tour and the budget of the traveler. Even though our guides appreciate tips, your applause means so much more, and we’re happy to welcome you as our guest!
