Our tour guide, although she had lived in Amsterdam for only a few years, was very knowledgeable regarding the history as well as the cultural aspects of the city. We visited ancient landmarks and also more recent historical sites such as those located in the Jewish quarter. All in all, a very entertaining and informative two hours.
