a friend of mine from high school and I went on this walking tour together and the tour guide was very friendly and apart from his vast knowledge of Amsterdam’s history, a lot of it pertaining to sex work and drugs of course, he was also just a very friendly and bubbly guide who was fun to talk to and had a lot of interesting stories. It was a great time!
