Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

In Amsterdam there’s a limit of 15 partipants per tourguide so if you want to guarantee your spot is recommend to pay a small fee to guarantee your spot !
I did a tour with a local and it was perfect !
It’s worth to spend more than 2 hours with a professional tour guide ! Tip your tour guide, let’s support freetours, the best way to discover a new city ! Thanks NIELS for the wonderful experience 😁

Do not use SANDMANs free walking tours. I have used free walking tours in the past with great success unfortunately that was not the case for the walking tour we booked in advance for Amsterdam on 9/23. When we met the guide he advised us that he could only take 15 people and he was only taking those who paid the $3.00 in advance on the site. Four in our party were left without a tour. They should not take advanced bookings if they can not accommodate them.

Pre-booked the tour the day before. Arrived 5 minutes ahead of schedule and was actively ignored by the guide when I presented my QR code for scanning. Guide (BS) then proceeded to scan people who arrived later, turning his back to me and refusing to scan mine because the numbers just kept arriving, and I was subsequently told the tour was over-subscribed.
Can’t understand that as a business model. Why allow people to continue to book a tour inline if there’s an upper limit on those allowed to partake? Not to mention the behaviour of the guide.
Very disappointed with this experience - up until this we had nothing but positive experiences with Sandeman tour operators in various destinations.

I have taken Sandeman's tours all over Europe and have never been disappointed. I love that they give the guides free reign to add in their own flair and interests.
We took the tour with our 6 month old baby and had a blast!
Bram was witty and clever. He gave us so much energy even though our tour group didn't give him much back. He was knowledgable about past and current events, even adding in some of his own stories of growing up in Holland which we loved. He even stopped along the tour to treat us to stroopwafel which was a delight!

We had a GREAT tour with Yasmin! So knowledgeable, engaging, and sweet. She had great photos, recommendations on food, and also told us the history in an engaging way. Would definitely recommend. As an FYI Sandeman’s tour guides get paid only through tips so be sure to have some euros

At what time are the tours? I am in Amsterdam and would like to take it
Recently booked a Free tour for my family of 7. Due to group size we were charged €8/person in addition to the €3 fees for the city. Is the €8 reservation fee distributed to the guide as gratuity? Or is there an expectation to tip additional?
Do you limit the number of people on each tour or do you offer audio headsets when there are large number of participants?

Sunshine - I apologize for the late response but I am not active with TripAdvisor and just saw your question. I seem to remember that the city limits the number of people for each tour. Our group had no problem hearing our guide
Hola! hice un free walking tour y nos ofrecieron hacer un recorrido en bus por unos pueblos (edam...). Como puedo hacer p reservarlo? gracias!

Así como no me gustó la guía de Jaco, quiero destacar que ese mismo día hice el tour por el barrio rojo de Amsterdam con una chica Argentina (no recuerdo su nombre) y fue excelente!

Bonjour nous somme 6 personne pour nouvelle an à Amsterdam et nous aimerions trouvez un guide français pour faire le tour de la ville. Il y a t’il un guide français ?

Non à Sandesman, il n'y a pas de guides francophones.
