Informative and Enjoyable Overview of Amsterdam

5.00This was a fantastic overview of the history of Amsterdam including political, religious, trade/business, and cultural influences. Our guide Daan was incredible! As a native of Amsterdam who majored in history at the University of Amsterdam, he had an incredible wealth of information that he delivered in digestible doses and often with a great sense of humor! We learned so much and enjoyed every minute of it despite the fact that it rained on and off throughout the tour. Highly recommend!
Enjoyable and informative, would recommend!

Would highly recommend this tour.
