“Rain. Amsterdam. Magic ”
I couldn't think of any other tour guides who have been so attentive to their people. It says a lot about him, that the first phrase that he said was, you're welcome to ask any questions possible. It was a wonderful time, and he came even for our little little group. We were a little bit lost between two trees, as they say. But we managed to find our tour guide, have an amazing time, get to know new people, have a conversation with such a pleasant man, and feel the professionalism in telling those pieces of history. Tour guide has very-very witty knowledge with him and interesting facts about the placese we went to, but furthermore, he have provided us with additional printed pictures, and any reply to the question that we asked to have. God bless you Norman! I have a lot of respect for tour guides, and now have it even more. Thanks to this excursion. Peace.
