Art, artefacts and transit - Maria was our amazing guide, and she explained the history of the metro system and the public's involvement with selecting the art installations. She was knowledgeable, and very patient with us. I would definitely recommend this activity.

Hidden gems of the subway - As they say, your life will never be the same if you once follow Nastya and descend with her into the depth of Amsterdam subway. It turned out that in Amsterdam each station has a coded message - cultural, historical or artistical. Nastya deciphers these messages, and you become not just metro passenger, but also attentive viewer of incrediable art objects and expert on the history of the city and the country hiden in the Amsterdam subway.
