“Mukti was AMAZING! We ended up having a tour just for the two of us since the other couple didn't show, and Mukti had so much knowledge to share -- almost every minute we were with him, he had something interesting to tell us. I have no idea how he was able to remember all that information! The tour itself was great - we saw so much! We went in February, so it was freeeeeezing in Gieethorn (if you're travelling in winter, bring warm things!). We bought some snacks for the tour but didn't need any at all. Definitely recommend booking this tour if you're visiting Amsterdam!! A must! Thank…”

He's also very knowledgeable about the flow of crowds at each stop and did a great job pacing the day to avoid the busiest times. I really can't recommend him enough!!”
