That Dam Guide

A RICK STEVES RECOMMENDATION and I myself can't recommend this tour enough. Mark caters to all age groups and interests, and provides you with an unique perspective of Amsterdam. If there is a particular area of history or interest, Mark will personalize the tour just for you. I came into the tour with very little background of Amsterdam, and left with a wealth of knowledge. Mark also takes the time to sit down with you and highlights specific museums, restaurants, and activities on a map that you otherwise would not know of. If you are looking to learn more about Amsterdam as a whole, or if you are already an expert, Mark is sure to teach you something new. As someone who has gone on many walking tours, this was by far the best.

"It was such a great day! Mark took us out into the beautiful Dutch countryside to view and learn about the dykes and how the irrigation system works, then to visit a gorgeous, non-touristy seaside village(so so beautiful and quite a highlight), then to a working farm and then to the windmills with a lovely picnic lunch. Mark was a great guide and so knowledgeable as well as friendly and made everyone feel welcome. It was also great to get off the tourist path and avoid the bus loads of big tours and see something more authentic. I would totally recommend this."

"Lee took us around Amsterdam on the walking tour which was great. She’s definitely knowledgeable, knows her way around the town, gave us great recommendations and made things as comfortable as possible for us. We enjoyed the tour and definitely worth the money."

"After all my travels across Europe, I have become very fond of walking tours. This was hands down the best tour! Mark's tour was addictive! His content was fascinating, and his personality made everything so much fun! I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND doing this on your first day, to better your understanding of all things in Amsterdam!"

"Absolutely loved this tour with Mark! He is a very thorough and considerate guide. I took a picture of something on the tour and he emailed me a picture of that particular building from years ago later that day. This is a great way to learn about Amsterdam and The Netherlands and I highly recommend this small group tour!"

"Bottom line -- if you are going to Amsterdam, you can't get a better introduction to the city than the 3-hour small group walking tour offered by Mark of That Dam Guide. He provides a thorough but nicely paced overview of the city that can serve as the perfect starting point to your Amsterdam vacation. Knowledgeable, friendly, funny -- Mark had it all and we couldn't have been happier with the experience."

"We did both the City Walking tour with Rob and the Red Light District tour with Lee. Both tours were extremely informative. We find that walking tours provide extra insight and information that you wouldn’t find in guidebooks, with the personal touch of engaging and friendly guides. Thoroughly recommend both tours!
