Yuka was amazing. We have a big family, and she went above and beyond to make sure everyone was happy. Her planning was superb!
With only one day in Amsterdam before I was to board a river cruise, I chose the Sites and Insights Tour, to gain an overview of the present city while learning its history. My guide, Hank, was incredible. His extensive knowledge of economics, art , architecture and history made the 3 hours pass much too quickly. I learned about the history of trade in Amsterdam, the construction of its canals, what has to be done to maintain its old world architecture, the lives of its famous artists and the experiences of its inhabitants during WWII. For a memorable, educational and engaging tour of Amsterdam, definitely request Hank as a guide.
