We took Mary’s toyr this past weekend and got an amazing surprise. She took us to places we had never been to, even though we’ve lived here almost a decade. We went to a couple of familiar locations, but even those we saw through new etes as she regaled tidbits of history that you can’t get from guide books or a standard tour. We wandered around constantly amused as Mary has something to tell you on every corner. My partner had a sore foot, but despite that he kept walking because it was so interesting. Don’t miss this tour if you’re coming to Amsterdam!
