Fun and informative introduction to Amsterdam. - Fun and informative walking tour of Amsterdam. Great introduction on our first day to get our bearings and to fight off jet lag. Pieter was a great guide. Very knowledgeable and funny. He was able to answer a lot of questions about history and everyday life in the Netherlands. Would highly recommend the tour.
