5.00Frank is an excellent tour guide. He gave us a thorough and fascinating description of the key points in history all the way along the canals across town from the Christmas Village at the Rijksmuseum to the wonderful Rembrandt House Museum. This included a stop for the most delicious warm fresh baked oliebollen (donuts)! And then the Rembrandt House itself was excellent. Frank led the tour like your best cool professor sharing so many new things about my Rembrandt and art. Thank you, Frank and Babylon!
