“This was our favorite activity on our trip! Tristan is a great guide and the tour is really special. I think he's the only person giving this sort of tour- just a little outside of Amsterdam proper, very easy to access and incredibly enjoyable. I think this is an absolute must do when in Amsterdam.”
