Adham did very well. He responded to my call quickly and handled a seemingly difficult lock in a couple of minutes, and he was a very friendly guy. He did a very good job keeping me updated with time, and I was happy with the price, especially since it was the weekend. I would absolutely hire him again and recommend him to family and friends.

I’ve been working with Max and the team for a few years, and we did a lot of renovations with them, including an entire house. The service they provide is very good, very professional, always on the work, very clean and very organized. Communication was perfect and everything was okay with appointments. They do charge a lot of money for it, but you do get what you pay for.

I am really happy with Zeliha Stefanie, actually, and I feel really lucky with her. She is very, very professional, always helpful, always ready, and she always answers my messages. She is on time and communicates well with me. I would of course recommend her, and the price felt really good to me.

What to know about travel & leisure in Amsterdam

Most people reading this live in Amsterdam and are booking for visiting family, which changes what matters. A private guide is normally a flat fee for the whole group, so it costs the same for two of you as for six, while a join-in tour is priced per person. Museum entry is almost never included in a guide's fee, and the Anne Frank House in particular sells out weeks ahead.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a private guide really more expensive?
Not necessarily. A private guide charges one fee for the group while a join-in tour charges per head, so once there are four or five of you the private option can work out similar or cheaper. And you get to set the route.
Are museum tickets included?
Usually not. The guide's fee buys the guide. Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh and Anne Frank House tickets are bought separately, and Anne Frank House needs booking well in advance.
Are prices in Amsterdam quoted with or without BTW?
Check, because it varies. A price quoted to a consumer should already include BTW, and most trades show it that way, but plenty of price lists are still written excluding it. The rate is 21% on most work, though labour on a home more than two years old is taxed at 9%, and so are sports and fitness classes.
How do I check a business in Amsterdam is properly registered?
Ask for the KvK number and look it up in the Chamber of Commerce register, which is free and public. It tells you the business exists, what it is registered to do and how long it has been trading. Anyone who will not give you that number is telling you something useful.
How are businesses ranked here?
On their reviews, and every review is phone-verified, which means we confirm the person actually used the business before it goes live. Nobody can pay to move up the list.
How much do tour guides cost in Amsterdam?
A private guide in Amsterdam is a flat fee for the group, about €120 for 1.5 hours up to €340 for 4 hours, while join-in group tours run €23 to €59 per person.
