Jerry adapted to our pace and we didn't feel rushed. Jerry was so interactive and present we learnt actual history instead of just nodding along to dates we'd forget in 5 minutes. ....and the cookie's from Van Stapele Koekmakerij, fabulously devine! If you want a Tour Guide who treats a Tour like a masterclass book with Jerry.

Tour started promptly & Jerry spent as much time as we needed to show us sights. He ensured we experience wonderful Amsterdam treats (cookies, ollerbitten, stroopwaffles, etc.) The background he provided to various sites was very much appreciated as it enhanced our understanding & whetted our appetite for getting as much out of the tour as we did. An impeccable tour & we are so glad we met up with him. Could have easily spent more time!
Jerry's Highlights & Hidden Gems tour of Amsterdam was both enjoyable and informative. He seamlessly blended personal anecdotes with historical, architectural, and artistic insights — thoughtfully balancing humour and facts while tailoring the 3-hour experience to our personal interests. Though the weather was somewhat inclement, we did not use that as an excuse to cut the tour short and miss out on Jerry’s engaging program. Highly recommended!
A wonderful tour of Amsterdam, Jerry was very informative and personable! We enjoyed ourselves and learned so much. Highly recommend ! You won’t go wrong with this tour.
Excellent, knowledgeable and thorough guide. We strongly recommend him. Great introduction to Amsterdam!
Jerry was outstanding. We were running late and when we showed, he was extremely welcoming. He combined interesting facts with his unique brand of humor which made the tour really fun. We really liked how he talked about some personal experiences dealing with the canals. His restaurant recommendations were spot on. I wish we would have had booked his other tours during our stay. He is a can’t miss guide.
I booked this tour at the last minute, after reading positive reviews on Facebook groups. Jerry gave us a great walking tour of Amsterdam, filled with a lot of history, and some funny stories. During our tour he brought us to a popular brown café for a break, where we had bitterballen, a popular local dish. They were so good we went back on our own, the following day for some more. Our tour lasted over 3 hours, was well paced, and very enjoyable. Jerry gave us restaurant suggestions, and helpful tips and information for the rest of our stay. He was easy to understand and so nice. Would definitely recommend.
Jerry was fun and really well organized, he kept our comfort and safety in mind all the time. I can highly recommend him.
Jerry was awesome, the 3 hour tour (with a little break) was perfect and we got to see so much. Jerry's energy is infectious and along with his knowledge elevates the experience. Would highly recommend!
Jerry was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable, personable, entertaining , and happy to answer questions.
Great review with Jerry, fun and very informative. Stopped for a refreshment. Paced well and saw lots! Would recommend.
Jerry was the perfect guide providing rich history mixed with personal stories as we slowly wandered the streets of Amsterdam. He also provided lots of suggestions on food and of museums to visit. Although he would do these tours regularly, Jerry took care to personalise to our interests. Book this tour when you come to Amsterdam-highly recommended
We took our walking tour with Jerry on our first day and he provided a fantastic introduction to Amsterdam. This was more like meeting up with an old friend who’s moved abroad and is excited to show you around their new home. We saw so much of the city and learned so much about the history, geography, art, and culture all while having a great time, enjoying some tasty treats and making a new friend. I highly recommend booking any tour with Jerry. He will make sure you have a wonderful experience.
We had a wonderful tour with Larry. We learned so much about the City, the people and the history. Larry is personable, fun, knowledgeable and so easy to talk with. I would highly recommend this tour to all.
Jerry was an excellent guide! He provided interesting histories of every site we visited, and was lively and answered all our questions. I also appreciated his visuals, and that he kept showing us where we were on the map, so we stayed oriented. Jerry was also a lot of fun! He made us feel welcome and we had a great conversation. I highly recommend his tour.
This was easily the best city tour we have ever done. Jerry is incredibly knowledgeable about the history and architecture of Amsterdam, and we really enjoyed exploring the city with him. We especially loved looking at the old maps and photos he brought along, which helped us understand how Amsterdam has evolved over the years. He also took us to several local favorite cafes where we got to try delicious snacks and pie. Amsterdam is a beautiful city, but we appreciated it even more after getting to explore so many of its different neighborhoods with Jerry. The time flew by and I can't recommend this tour enough!
What an absolutely brilliant start to our break. Jerry was a joy to spend time with, and he has a great sense of humour. His knowledge was endless and he showed us sights we may not have thought about finding ourselves. We even managed to re-find his favourite bakery while out and about the next day, and oh boy, he's not wrong, the apple pie was out of this world. We'd definitely recommend taking this tour if you want to find hidden gems on your holiday.
Jerry gave us (Mother/Daughters) a fantastic introduction to Amsterdam in just a three hours private tour. He brought the city's history, architecture, culture, and food to life while somehow finding ways to connect the tour to each of our individual interests. It never felt like a scripted tour—it felt like exploring the city with a knowledgeable local who truly enjoys sharing it. We learned a lot, had a great time, and would highly recommend Jerry to anyone visiting Amsterdam. Also, really appreciate his great communication during booking and prior to meeting.
Jerry was excellent. He was very personable and super knowledgeable, he could answer all of our questions. He pointed out extra things we would like based on the little bit of info he knew about us. Nice recommendations for museums and restaurants and nightlife too!
Highlights and Hidden Gems is the key and fun part about this tour. Walking around by ourselves we would have missed most of the things we were able to see and learn about on this tour. Jerry was fun and knowledgeable. We loved hanging out with him and our group who felt like instant friends. Highly recommend this tour.
What a wonderful tour. I could not have seen as much of Amsterdam without Jerry, our tour guide. I learned so much while on this small group and very friendly tour. As he navigated the narrow streets of Amsterdam, Jerry showed us places that I could never find on my own. He has a wealth of knowledge about Amsterdam and truly brings you to some very special hidden gems. He shared a great deal of very interesting history of Amsterdam and its origins. I highly recommend this tour to anyone going to Amsterdam. It is fast paced and fun.
The walking tour of Amsterdam with Jerry was excellent and I would highly recommend the experience. The tour had a detailed perspective of the history, the architecture, and the current city answering all our questions. Best described as fun and enjoyable. The highlight of our time in Amsterdam!
I would highly suggest and recommend this tour! Our guide was amazing to customize our tour since it ended up being just my daughter and I. He was very informative but not boring, and we saw so many things that made our experience so memorable! From local gems and treasure spots to the wonder of the city, it gave us ideas for other spots to see and visit at leisure. We had a very limited time in the city, and this was a wonderful way to take it all in and get an overview!
The tour eas a wonderful blend of cultural experiences, history, architecture and foods. The pace was excellent with a stop for beverage and plenty of photos. We enjoyed the expertise and humor and conversations while having the best overall introduction to Amsterdam.
Jerry is an excellent guide with wide knowledge of Amsterdam. We learned so Much about the history of Amsterdam and Holland. The comprehensive tour was at an easy pace allowing time to explore the city in-depth. Jerry's easy manner and knowledge makes him an ideal guide. We wish he led additional tours as we would not hesitate to sign up.
Fabulous tour and fabulous day what fun lots of information and lots of laughs we recommend highly would like to do more of Jerry‘s tours but didn’t have time. He does lots of fun things.
Jerry is an amazing tour guide, and he gave us a lot of interesting information about the city. This was one of the best experiences we had in Amsterdam and the best walking tour we’ve been on in our travels.
Jerry was great, very knowledgeable about the city and was funny. I 100% recommend it.
A day walking the streets of Amsterdam with Jerry is amazing. The experiences he introduced us to were so unexpected. From foods, to views, and historic stories, Jerry had us reliving centuries of life in this beautiful city. Thank you for the best day of our stay.
Jerry’s tour of Amsterdam was so fun and interesting. He definitely has honed his craft as a knowledgeable guide. I would definitely recommend this, 10/10!
If you want to get an understanding of Amsterdam, the city layout and how it came to be, the culture and the history of the pp book this tour with Jerry. Jerry is the only tour guide so you will get him and he is the best- so knowledgeable and humorous. We learned so much in just 3 hours. You walk a lot but it’s at a relaxing pace and you cover lots of ground. Try to book his tour early in your stay as Jerry gives recommendations of things to do and places to eat.
Jerry was an incredibly friendly and humorous guide. As a native English speaker, he communicated clearly and made the experience both engaging and easy to follow. We really enjoyed the stories he shared along with his insightful cultural knowledge. Highly recommended! / Ibrahim&Brian
Absolutely the best tour ever. Jerry was superb and a walking encyclopedia on the coolest our of the way off the tourist path.
Jerry is an amazing Tour guide! The 3 hours tour was very well structured and fun. I loved his Fun facts and small stories, which added a personal touch.
We had a wonderful experience with Jerry on our walking tour. It was a great introduction to the city on our first day. Highly recommend him for a fun and informational walk!
We had the best time!!! Jerry was wonderful! I recommend this tour to all! I learned new things and it was wonderful!!!
Great tour! Very interesting.
Jerry Goldberg took me, My wife and a couple from USA on a three-hour walk tour. It was more like walking with a friend than with a tourist guide. It was a pleasant morning when we visited many old buildings and hidden churches. He regaled us with stories of miracles, wars and social infrastructure. Jerry doesn’t try hard to be humorous and he shares info in a non-patronising way. He himself is not a local so he understands what a tourist looks for. Although three hours seems a long time, the walk was leisurely and unhurried. So it does not tire you. Jerry told us that he prefers small groups which is what we too wanted. Would definitely recommend Jerry!
This tour was a nice overview of the highlights of Amsterdam. Jerry was very knowledgeable on history (including accurate dates to provide a timeline) architecture, culture, and able to answer everyone’s question without pause. He was thoughtful and guided us with kindness and humor.
Such a fun and informative afternoon walk! The sun was shining, the breeze crisp, the company delightful, and guide Jerry was gracious as well as clever with the “story behind the story” behind the sites. Amsterdam’s history came alive! Highly recommend his tour.
The tour with Jerry was really fun and informative. The pace was just right and he was able to answer lots of questions! I’d definitely recommend to friends and family. Thank you for a great morning!
Jerry gave us a fantastic walking tour of Amsterdam that struck the perfect balance between the must-see sights and the lesser-known hidden gems. He clearly took the time to tailor the experience to our interests, which made it feel personal rather than a standard tour. His knowledge of the city was impressive—he shared plenty of interesting facts and stories without ever overwhelming us. What really stood out, though, was his warm and friendly manner. He was kind, approachable, and made us feel at ease from the start. We came away feeling like we’d not only seen Amsterdam, but truly experienced it. I would highly recommend Jerry to anyone looking for an engaging, thoughtful, and enjoyable tour.
OUr guide, Jerry, was brilliant! We walked all over Amsterdam at a great pace and saw sooo much. He was full of stories, anecdotes, history, culture, and more!! We highly recommend it!
Jerry did an excellent job of facts and fun!! Time went by fast and we really enjoyed the tour! Great item to do on the first day to get the layout of the city!
This walking tour was a highlight of our trip. Jerry was very knowledgeable and fun. Highly recommend!
Jerry was a brilliant guide. We thoroughly enjoyed our first visit to Amsterdam and his knowledge and personable manner made for an entertaining and enlightening experience. Top guide: would totally recommend!
Jerry was an excellent guide for the Amsterdam Highlights and Hidden Gems tour. We had already done three other tours during our trip, and he still managed to share information and stories we hadn’t heard anywhere else. I’ve actually been to Amsterdam three times, and I was surprised by how much new history and insight I learned from him. He pointed out details around the city that most people would easily walk past and explained them in a really engaging and helpful way. His knowledge and enthusiasm made the tour feel fresh even for someone who has visited before. Highly recommend taking this tour with Jerry if you want to learn things about Amsterdam that you probably wouldn’t discover on your own.

Had a brilliant tour with Jerry in Oct 25 - great history alongside hearing about life in Amsterdam now. He was really friendly and took into account what we were interested in seeing and hearing about. Got a good sense of the layout which helped with the rest of our trip. Stopped off a nice beer along the way in a traditional Dutch bar, and got dropped off at a wonderful place for jenever at the end with clear instructions about the best way to taste it! Would definitely recommend.
What a fantastic tour of Amsterdam with Jerry! Jerry is knowledgeable, informative, and engaging, but most of all fun! We has a fabulous time with him. Jerry warmed up a cold, windy, and damp day with history, anecdotes, and personal stories. Highly recommended!
