AMAZING - It was a great tour with our guide Stan. We traveled throughout Europe, but Stan was really the best guide of our trip !! We did not know the history of the different areas of Amsterdam and he told us all of that. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. It was greatly appreciated. Highly recommended!
