What our guests say about this tour
"PASSIONATE GUIDES"
Eva showed us a mix of older and newer sustainable initiatives throughout Amsterdam. The professional background of our group is in sustainable (re)development of neighborhoods throughout Europe and the tour was tailored for that. She was passionate about the topics of the tour and also in general about this beautiful city and more general history. We definitely recommend Amsterdam Odyssey tours!

"KNOWLEDGEABLE AND PREPARED"
Eva and Hanneke put together a customized Sustainability tour of Amsterdam East for our office’s postponed Earth Day.
Eva lead our tour and was very knowledgeable and prepared – she showed us some amazing parts of the city we didn’t even know existed despite living here! I would recommend them, as many colleagues gave me compliments later for making the booking!
