Lovely walk and guide with a ticket ! - Enjoyable walk with a guide through Amsterdam to speak about history of the city and WWIi. Guide was informative and pace was easy. Learned nuggets that would not have picked up on otherwise. Best part is it included a ticket to the Anne Frank House, which is a tough one to get without advance planning.

Lovely cemetery tour - What a beautiful cemetery. Our informative tour led by our lovely guide, knowledgeable and friendly. We visited war memorials, graves of poets, writers, painters, singers etc....and didn't cover all of this vast final resting place for many people of all walks of life. Highly recommended if you appreciate the beautiful, serenity of cemeteries..and yes, Jim Morrison's grave is included on the tour.

A trip with Becky in the Pere Lachaise - We booked a trip around Pere- Lachaise with a wonderful guide Becky, who made our day with a delicate and very interesting tour through the cemetery. We did not only learn a lot from her but also enjoyed the peaceful and pleasant atmosphere.
