Historische urban legends... Leuk!

Ik ben niet echt van de guided tours, maar ik vond deze leuk! Het was niet alleen iemand die verhaaltjes vertelde, maar de gids wist echt waar hij het over had. Hij kon veel vragen beantwoorden en liet ons raden wat de historisch correcte versie van de legende was. Het spelelement en de prijs was een leuke toevoeging!
Cool stories and places where you normally wouldn't come or just pass by without knowing. Friendly, professional guide.

Dit was een hele leuke stadswandeling met bijzondere feiten/legendes over Amsterdam. Zelfs als een bewoner van de stad heel veel nieuwe dingen gehoord en gezien.
