An Exceptional Tour - Catherine was an exceptional guide. She really made sure how the history of Amsterdam integrated with its focus on individual freedoms. She incorporated the architectural history of the central district into the tour which includes the evolution of the red light district. An exceptional experience that should not be missed.
