Find interesting sites you won't discover without a local guide. - We walked from the Van Gogh Museum to the Central Train Station. It took 2.5 hours. We made many turns to visit sites I never would have found on my own. Monique was very responsive to my sister's hearing loss and mobility issues. She gave us lots of history and information about modern Amsterdam. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and her.
