Great way to start exploring Amsterdam

Great way to start exploring Amsterdam. Our tour guide, Aris, did a great job. We learned some history and cool facts. It was enjoyable. Be ready to get a lot of steps in! Be aware that your “gratuity” is actually “payment” for the guide. So, pay as you wish. We gave our tour guide a nice tip for his expertise.
