Yesterday our guide took us on a tour through the inner city of Amsterdam to tell us all about the many (historic) gates that you can still see in this city. An amazing experience. Frank

We had a really good time! You made it a great day. Roel knew how to strike the exact right note and his distinct interest in and knowledge of (the history of) Amsterdam are a relief compared with the average city guide. T. van Zwet
