“Nothing has been forgotten, with Sandra always attentive to the details and historical and picturesque aspects of each location, always with her captivating enthusiasm: the book market at Spui square and our lunch at the cozy and nearby Amsterdam Historical Museum terrace, the gardens of the Rijksmuseum, where we took lots of pictures that mirrored our joy very well, the market in Almere, where we tasted a traditional Dutch food, kibbeling, and the visits to Alkmaar and Hindeloopen, in the north of the Netherlands, so pleasant and unexpected surprises as well. She also adjusted the itinerary to our 3 years old daughter’s. At Efteling, the largest amusement park in the Netherlands, we felt like children again, not wanting to leave.
Thank you, Sandra, for the friendliness and competence with which you received us.”

“I have come to know Sandra as a very professional city guide. Her passion for architecture, history and art, and the best places to eat and drink, make her a perfect tour guide. Besides being knowledgeable, she always makes sure there is a good atmosphere. Sandra gave a very informative contribution to our first online Welcome to Almere event. From the start of this city in the polder to the latest building projects, she has a good story to tell. I can recommend Sandra as a tour guide if you are interested to learn more about Almere – or the Netherlands – than what you can find in a guide book!”

Her research is deep and extensive. She absolutely gives life to the profession and to the stories. A deep thank you to her for igniting the feeling of being connected with Almere with the intensity that I have been looking for, after two years living here.For all her efforts, I thank her very much from the bottom of my heart. “

“Sandra Silva is a wealth of knowledge, very vibrant, competent and a wonderful host and tour guide. She took us to places we hardly had any idea about and explained important things about the city of Almere including art, architecture and history, and she did it in a fun way making the few hours we were with her very insightful. Thank you Sandra Silva for being so gracious and for taking such good care of us during our city tour.”
Valentina Gonzalez, Chile
“Joining the tour to know more about Almere was really great mainly because of Sandra. She is very skilled and passionate about everything. As an Almere resident but still going to Amsterdam for some activities it was really open-minded to see the city with other eyes and perspectives.
It was fun to walk and discuss the places and experiences with the tour team and end up having a nice closing at Café op 2 for a drink.”

“Thank you very much for the guided tour of Almere. It was a great experience.
It was very well organized with all the important information of Almere.
Thoroughly enjoyed it.
Would definitely recommend to all.”
Lynn Rendell, England
“ I very much enjoyed your walking tour despite the weather! You were very good to include things we may be interested in – for me that included some ideas of where to take my grandson. Thank you. It was interesting to hear about the ideas behind the architecture of the buildings e.g. the Citadel and the older houses in Haven. Thank you for pointing out the different architects. Now I know what to look for. I also enjoyed meeting the artist and her shadow puppets and her ideas behind. It was nice too to stop for a hot drink in the chocolate shop when we all felt a bit cold! The Lego exhibition was interesting too. As it was a small group I enjoyed being able to talk to the different people there as I really do not know many people in Almere yet, and it was good to go into Café op 2 for a drink.”
Eneko Dorronsoro Beitia, Spain
“In my opinion we saw and did many things, without it being too much. I got information that is of interesting for me (Oostvaardersplassen, De Voetnoot, international movies in Haven,…) and I discovered many things about Almere, and I had a really good time 🙂
Muito obrigado, Sandra, it was a pleasure.”
Julita Uzunova, Poland
“Both me and my husband had a great experience with the tour that Sandra organized around Almere!
We learnt a lot about architecture, art, food and nature around here. That was something that we were passing by many times, but we didn’t know the background and details about it!
She’s incredibly friendly & fun person, and is able to catch your attention quickly with interesting stories. Definitely recommend!”
Alexandra Crisan, Romania
“I really enjoyed exploring Almere with Sandra. She’s a very passionate guide with a warm personality and she shared with us lots of interesting facts about the places we visited. This was a great experience for all our senses, including taste, because she also took us to a cozy café with delicious chocolate and good coffee.
I recommend Sandra to everyone!”
