We spent the last two days on free walking tours (right, nothing is free) in Delft and Amsterdam. Both of our guides were perfect for the job and made the tours very enjoyable.
In Delft our guide was a painter, a graphic designer and on top of that a stand up comedian…he was a trifecta of information. The city was easy to walk around and he made the tour so much fun with his constant jokes along the way. Unfortunately the best joke was at the expense of Americans, I won’t repeat it because I don’t want to get political…I woke up during the night laughing though.
Our walk around Amsterdam was the “alternate” tour so we got the behind the scenes stories and views of the marijuana trade and the red light district. As the elder (old dude) of the tour he kept looking at me to make sure he wasn’t offending anyone…if he only knew. The best part of the tour was when he took us to an area where a local art dealer has set up a hidden “secret art garden” of worldwide artist…according to him some very famous. I guess…we’ll never know…but he seemed very convincing.
Leaving for the birthplace of golf in the a.m.…can’t wait.
