Unmissable -do it at the start of your stay

Jaap gave a super tour -informative & full of fun. This is a tour where the guide gets paid directly by the tourists but he has a card machine which is handy (we tipped in cash). Its more about contemporary Amsterdam which we found a lot more interesting but the key facts about Amsterdam's history were also covered. Its a great way to start your stay as he shows you key places to visit , eat etc.
