5.00This was one of our favorite things we did. I would suggest doing it in your 1st or 2nd day as you are given recommendations for the rest of the trip and discounts. Gerard was our guide and shared so much history- he was amazing. My son went last fall and also had the same experience with Gerard as his guide too.
Great way to see Amsterdam
