Great reception, super service but especially the "lady-speaker" was great with very good information about the sights along the way, the Amsterdam of Then and Now, facts and (un)truths about the city and all that in a fanstastic and especially humorous way brought. A big thank you for this fun experience - highly recommended!

The tour was more for my boyfriend, he also thought the tour was guided and would have much preferred that. We think if we had a guided tour or at least the option to choose and learn more about the stadium/ football history, the tour would be great. We walked around at our own pace but it was too quickly and we didn't learn much. Overall it was a good tour but could be better.

Canal cruise was very good, but it was extremely difficult to find the correct cruise! In fact, boat staff said they had never heard of Headout!

I expected much more from this experience, I sat in the back ( which I arrived last) and it was not easy to follow the 'audio guide and see what was being told at the same time. Also, the 'sudioguide could be heard intermittently , basically expectations were much higher than reality.
