Great First Day Tour
We picked the 5:30 pm tour on our first night to have a fun happy hour while experiencing the canals. Luc was our tour guide, and he had great knowledge of the city and good talking points for all of the landmarks we saw along the way. The weather was perfect, and my family really enjoyed the experience. It was a great way to start our Amsterdam experience.
