Olga was amazing! We had such a great time on this tour, but I think it really speaks to our awesome guide okay, fine, the charming city can get some credit, too. Olga was friendly, prepared, and thoughtful with her struture of the day taking into consideration places and things we would want to and should see on our first trip to Amsterdam, but also mixed in hidden gems, known to and appreciated by locals. She was knowledgeable and personable, and so incredibly generous with her time. We frequently referred to her recommendations for the rest of our stay in Amsterdam. It was so great to experiene the city through her eyes.
