What guests say
This was the best tour by far! Lukas was an amazing guide. His knowledge of the city and cannabis culture was so insightful. He was so friendly and welcoming especially to those who don’t smoke, he put us at ease. It was a blast!

We did the coffee shop walking tour and it was soooo cool. Our tour guide, John, was knowledgeable of the history of the country and also shared some history of the surrounding buildings. It was very relaxing… it was one of the most educational, relaxing, walking tours we’ve ever been on. Highly recommend!

Great experience! · Tripadvisor · Jul 2026
Truly unique experience that may have changed my thoughts on Amsterdam (for the better). Erik, our tour guide, may be the most interesting man in Amsterdam… Being on this tour was like hanging with your cool cousin.

What an amazing afternoon, Erik was fabulous, making sure everyone was included… As a solo flyer I often find tours can be a bit “meh” but within minutes we were like old friends… Great chat, great knowledge… had the best time.
