Lovely walk and talk in Amsterdam - Saw interesting architecture and heard history of Amsterdam. Was nicely paced often with breaks to sit while listening. Mostly flat but watch out for cobblestones and bikes.

Great Personal tour - We ended up being the only 2 who showed so Augustin gave us a wonderful intimate tour of the downtown area. This included a stroll through the red light district. This is a good tour to get an up close view of what Amsterdam offers and to learn about the city and it’s architecture.
